A media report published on 15 June stated that Allison Kirkby, the chief executive of BT Group, stated that developments in artificial intelligence may intensify the substantial layoffs already occurring at the British telecoms business.
BT’s goals to eliminate over 40,000 jobs and cut 3 billion pounds ($4 billion) in expenses by the end of the decade “did not reflect the full potential of AI,” Kirkby told a newspaper.
She said, “Depending on what we learn from AI… there may be an opportunity for BT to be even smaller by the end of the decade,” according to a media site.
Up to 55,000 jobs, including those of contractors, would be eliminated by 2030, according to a 2023 statement from Britain’s largest internet and mobile provider.
Phillip Jansen, the company’s CEO at the time, stated that the organisation would operate with a substantially reduced cost base and a significantly smaller workforce by the conclusion of the 2020s.
Possible Future Spin-Off of Openreach
Kirkby, who succeeded Jansen a year ago, has also hinted at the potential of a future spin-off of Openreach, the company’s network infrastructure division.
She stated that she did not believe the value of Openreach was accurately represented in the company’s share price. If this were to persist, BT would be compelled to explore alternative options.
According to BT’s email response to a media outlet, the corporation is not now actively investigating Openreach. Last month, BT said that its full-year earnings and cash flow had been strengthened by the robust demand for fibre broadband and over 900 million pounds in cost savings.
Openreach’s resilience helped to offset revenue and profit decreases at its commercial and consumer segments, where handset sales and legacy voice services continued to decline.
Layoffs have Become a Common Scenario in 2025
With big companies like Google, Microsoft, and others continuing to reduce their workforces, layoffs in the tech sector are not expected to halt in 2025.
Companies are still cutting employees in an effort to simplify operations, save money, and emphasise automation and artificial intelligence, even though these figures are much lower than the major layoffs that occurred between 2022 and 2023.
Layoffs.fyi, a website that tracks layoffs in the industry, reports that 93 organisations have laid off nearly 23,500 tech workers so far this year, and the number is still growing.
Google and Microsoft are apparently contemplating a new round of layoffs, according to the most recent job reduction reports. According to reports, AI-led restructuring and performance-based terminations are part of the corporations’ goals to increase the effectiveness of their personnel.
According to regulatory records, Meesho, an e-commerce firm, made progress in its IPO process after the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) permitted the business to move its headquarters from Delaware, the United States, back to India.
Meesho will now combine with the Indian company and finish the redomiciling procedure in India since the NCLT has given the company permission to demerge from the US-based organisation.
If Meesho wishes to list on these bourses, it must completely return to India. In order to make it simpler for its portfolio firms to obtain funding and grow, Meesho’s original investor, Y Combinator, mandated that they be based outside of India in 2017.
Meesho’s IPO by Diwali This Year
Meesho started the process of returning to India in 2024. At the same time, it has been getting ready for its initial public offering (IPO) which is set to happen around Diwali this year.
According to the filing, the brand has determined that there is no obstacle to the scheme’s approval because the petitioner (Meesho) companies have sufficiently addressed the objections and observations to the scheme that were received from the Registrar of Companies/Regional Director (RoC/RD) and the Income Tax Department.
As per a media report, Meesho plans to submit its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) within a few weeks after the flip back is finished.
According to a Meesho representative, the filing is a component of the company’s continuous move to re-domicile in India. This step matches the company’s corporate structure with its daily operational footprint, he added, since most of the company’s operations, including those of its consumers, sellers, creators, and Valmo partners, are already situated here.
Meesho Becomes a Public Entity
Meesho’s board has authorised the company’s transformation into a public company in preparation for an IPO.
In an extraordinary general meeting on June 5, the board of Meesho passed a special resolution to change the company’s name from “Meesho Private Limited” to “Meesho Limited”, according to the startup’s MCA filing.
According to the petition, the conversion will provide Meesho more freedom to pursue access to the capital market and bring its corporate structure into compliance with the legal requirements for a business looking to go public.
According to the filing, the firm intends to remain prepared from a regulatory and compliance standpoint to facilitate such an offering when judged appropriate, even if the board has not yet authorised or started the IPO process.
In order to harmonise corporate and brand identity, the company rebranded its parent corporation more than a month ago.
Bengaluru-based F&B startup Nuvie, which reimagines everyday indulgences with a healthier twist, has raised USD 450K (INR 3.8 Cr+) in its maiden pre-seed funding round, led by startup accelerator PedalStart. Focused on building a new-age ‘Better-For-You’ brand, Nuvie makes protein-rich, guilt-free versions of indulgent snacks and treats that taste just as good as the originals, if not better.
The round also saw participation from several notable entrepreneurs and angel investors, including Mukesh Bansal (Founder of Myntra, Cult.fit, and Nurix), Ayyappan R (Founder & CEO, FirstClub; ex-CEO, Cleartrip), Chanakya Gupta (Co-Founder, Tuco Kids; ex-SVP, Flipkart), and Arun Sharma (Co-Founder & CPO, Qlub UAE).
This marks Nuvie’s first external fundraise since its inception last year. A substantial portion of the pre-seed capital will be directed towards new product development, brand-building initiatives, and content creation efforts. The remainder will be strategically deployed to expand distribution and unlock growth opportunities.
Nuvie is flipping the script on health, making it fun, easy, and something you actually want to stick with. While most of the health industry has been projected as serious and performance focused, Nuvie’s approach is all about balance, enjoyment, and building a feel-good relationship with food.
Nuvie has seen strong early traction, clocking over ₹10 lakh in monthly revenue from its very first month of launch. With the momentum reinforced by this fundraise, the start-up is now aiming to close CY 2025 at an ambitious ARR of ₹10 Cr. Having launched its lactose-free Ready-to-Drink Protein Shake in three flavours, Nuvie is now gearing up to roll out five new shake variants. The product pipeline also includes innovative offerings like a protein chocolate bar—a healthier spin on traditional chocolates, and India’s first protein-infused cold coffee, or “Proffee.”
Speaking on the fundraise, Prashant Paliwal and Hem Narayan, Co-Founders of Nuvie, said, “We’re elated to raise our pre-seed round, a significant milestone in our journey to reimagine healthy eating. At Nuvie, our focus is on crafting innovative products that strike the perfect balance between health and indulgence for today’s lifestyle-conscious consumer. This capital will empower us to double down on product innovation and strengthen our market presence as we gear up for our next phase of growth”.
“As Indians become increasingly conscious about their food choices and transition to healthier lifestyles, the market for nutritious foods in our country has been growing expeditiously. Despite that, very little innovation has happened in the food-tech space to make healthy foods delicious, and that’s exactly where Nuvie gains its edge, and stands out by ensuring that healthy foods/drinks are made convenient and tasty at the same time. Nuvie’s exciting category, innovative approach, and experienced founders, committed to making better-for-you products work for the nation’s beginner health-conscious users, were the key factors that enthused us to invest in them. We at PedalStart look forward to supporting them as their long-term growth partner,” commented Manas Pal and Aditya Darolia, Co-Founders of PedalStart.
Starting its journey in Bengaluru, Nuvie has rapidly expanded its footprint, now available in 100+ premium retail stores across major metros like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai. Its products are also present in over 200 gyms and are reaching customers nationwide through key quick-commerce platforms such as Blinkit, Instamart, and Big Basket. After strong offline traction, the brand is now focused on scaling its online presence via its own website and quick-commerce channels. With a growing portfolio of high-protein, fiber-rich snacks and beverages, Nuvie is on a mission to lead a new wave in India, where ‘healthy’ and ‘tasty’ eating coexist.
About Nuvie
Nuvie is “a new way to be healthy.” Co-founded by two former Cult.fit leaders, Hem Narayan and Prashant Paliwal, Nuvie is redefining healthy eating in India with “better-for-you” products — like better milkshakes and chocolates — that make wellness enjoyable and accessible.
With over a decade in the fitness industry and personal transformation journeys of their own, the founders realized that when healthy food tastes good and fits seamlessly into everyday life, it becomes easier to stick to better habits. That insight sparked the idea for Nuvie.
Nuvie’s approach is to break the stigma and seriousness often associated with health, making it feel effortless, enjoyable, and part of a natural lifestyle. We believe sustainable health isn’t about sacrifice, but about finding joy in the journey. That’s why we’re creating feel-good, good food — delicious, protein-rich options that people actually look forward to.

Intel is getting ready to start laying off a large number of employees at its production facilities in the middle of July. This will be the company’s first significant layoff since Lip-Bu Tan became CEO in March.
The layoffs, which are anticipated to finish by the end of the month, are a part of a larger strategic reorganisation as the business looks to improve its competitiveness in the global semiconductor market and streamline operations.
The Oregonian/OregonLive examined an internal memo that confirmed the layoff timeframe but did not specify the precise locations or the number of people that would be affected.
Various media reports claim that individual business units have been given the freedom to handle the cuts as long as they adhere to the financial standards set by upper management.
Layoffs Are Part of Company’s Transformational Goal
The corporation has presented the layoffs as necessary for its continuous change. According to a statement from Intel, simplifying the organisation and giving engineers more authority will help the company better meet customer needs and improve execution.
Additionally, it highlighted that these decisions were reached after “careful consideration” and promised that the affected staff will get respectful and compassionate treatment.
The action is a response to mounting pressure on Intel to address enduring issues, such as declining demand in the PC and laptop markets, declining sales, and heightened rivalry in the semiconductor industry, especially in the artificial intelligence (AI) domain.
Analysts have frequently highlighted Intel’s weakness in the AI-focused hardware market, while rivals like Nvidia and AMD have risen to the top. Although this most recent round of layoffs is the first under Tan’s direction, Intel’s employees have had a challenging recent past.
Under then-CEO Pat Gelsinger, the business eliminated over 15,000 jobs in 2023, including about 3,000 in Oregon alone. With an estimated 20,000 employees based in Washington County, Intel continues to be the largest private-sector employer in Oregon despite these layoffs.
Tan Already Hinted About Layoffs in April
Intel employees in Oregon have been speculating about potential layoffs since Tan hinted at potential reductions during an investor call in April, but he did not provide specifics or a comprehensive strategic plan.
Staff members’ discontent has grown as a result of this ambiguity, and they have expressed their worries about what they see to be a lack of transparency from senior management. Since taking over as CEO, Tan has kept a noticeably lower public profile than his predecessor.
However, later this year, he is anticipated to provide a thorough restructuring strategy.
According to industry observers, this strategy will put a higher priority on bolstering Intel’s production capacity, growing its AI presence, and regaining investor trust—all while putting the company in a better position to handle the fiercely competitive semiconductor market.
In the upcoming months, Intel’s long-term strategy will probably be closely examined by both staff members and market observers as the business enters this challenging period of its transformation.
According to reports, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has promised that the state will not allow cab aggregators like Ola and Uber.
Despite the state government’s notification of the draft Goa Transport Aggregator Guidelines, 2025, asking for comments and objections, this decision was made.
A regulatory framework, including licence fees, tariffs, and incentives, is included in the draft rules for app-based taxi and bike taxi businesses.
According to a media report, Sawant gave his pledge in response to pressure from MLAs in the coastal belt. The state administration has been requested to implement a system for taxi operators and to put the rules on hold. The government was instructed by the MLAs to adopt a standardised framework for equitable taxi fares.
According to reports, Sawant stated that since it is merely a guideline for aggregators, there should be no misunderstandings among the public. Uber and Ola won’t come here.
To establish a system, the government will seek the help of all parties involved, including lodging facilities, taxis, and MLAs. This problem will be resolved by the current administration.
According to the guidelines, the only aggregators permitted to operate throughout the state would be those who obtained a licence from the Goa government.
What Guidelines Further State?
Guidelines further state that an aggregator who has a registered office in Goa is eligible to apply for a licence, which is valid for three years from the date of issuance and must be renewed every three years after that.
The rules also stated that a legally binding agreement with the drivers must be made, one that is in conformity with the state’s dispute resolution procedures.
Earlier this year, regulatory pressure was applied to ride-hailing behemoths like Ola and Uber because of their varying prices for Android and iPhone users.
Pralhad Joshi, the minister of consumer affairs, claimed earlier this year that the two taxi aggregators had received complaints from the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) for showing different prices for the same ride on iOS and Android devices. The platforms have refuted the accusations.
Notably, in February, the Urimaikural Ottunar Thozhirsangam (Urimaikural drivers trade union), the auto and taxi drivers’ union in Chennai, declared an indefinite boycott of Ola and Uber due to the exorbitant commissions charged on daily rides. In response, the platforms recently adopted zero-commission arrangements.
Government Pushing for Sahkar Taxi
However, in March of this year, the Centre announced the establishment of a new state-backed ride-hailing service dubbed “Sahkar Taxi”, which would compete with the current market leaders in the ride-hailing field.
Drivers would have complete control over their earnings using this platform, free from commission reductions by other companies. It is important to remember that the Karnataka High Court gave bike taxi companies like Ola, Uber, and Rapido six weeks to stop operating in its April ruling.
Subsequently, Karnataka Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy requested that department personnel implement the High Court’s directive to halt the state’s bike taxi activities.
The Karnataka High Court’s division bench earlier this week refused to postpone the judgement until the state government released a comprehensive framework to regulate the services.
Amid concerns over its long-term viability, the Indian government is presently addressing Vodafone Idea’s (Vi) financial difficulties and contemplating relief measures.
Vi might not be able to fulfil obligations after 2028–2029 if payment terms are not even extended to adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues.
Although measures like extending the AGR payment period from six to twenty years are being discussed, government officials have warned that they may not guarantee Vi’s viability after 2028–2029.
According to the Department of Telecommunications, Vi won’t have money for its FY27 obligations if it is required to pay the entire INR 18,064 crore instalment by the end of FY26.
Vi Navigating Through Bundle of Challenges
The government became the largest shareholder with a 48.99% stake in the company in March after converting INR 36,950 crore in spectrum arrears into stock at Vi’s request.
Spectrum auctions held prior to 2021 were connected to these arrears. Vi’s financial future is still questionable in spite of this conversion. Vi has provided estimates through the Supreme Court’s 2030–31 deadline for the payment of AGR dues.
A four-year moratorium on AGR and spectrum dues from FY22 had already been granted by the government. Vi is now required to pay out all of the debt in six instalments beginning this fiscal year.
Vi’s January–March net loss of INR 7,166 crore was more than its October–December 2024 loss of INR 6,609 crore. It is currently negotiating with lenders after its board approved raising an extra INR 20,000 crore through loan or equity.
According to SR Batliboi & Associates, the group’s capacity to function as a going concern depends on the DoT’s backing over the AGR issue. They also emphasised Vi’s difficulty producing the cash flows required to pay down or refinance obligations as they fall due.
Vi Needs Immediate Bailout by Securing Loan
Vi can pay its debts this fiscal year, but starting in FY27, it won’t be feasible without obtaining more than INR 25,000 crore in loans from the bank and financial institution loans, according to a telecom industry analyst.
Motilal Oswal, a broking firm, cautioned that Vi may have a yearly liquidity shortage of INR 20,000 crore if AGR dues are not relieved or if debt fundraising activities are unsuccessful.
Vi has INR 9,930 crore in cash and bank balance at the end of March. In discussions with the DoT, the business had acknowledged that it would not be able to fulfil post-moratorium payment schedules.
Before a portion of the debt was turned into equity, the estimated payment for FY26 was more than INR 30,500 crore. The current talks show how difficult it is to guarantee Vodafone Idea’s existence in the face of growing financial strains and few alternatives for effective relief or obligation restructuring.

Whether it’s a small town or a metropolitan city, the trend and popularity of multiplexes charm every soul! Multiplexes usually refer to the theatre that displays multiple screens at the same time, which means multiple movies simultaneously.
The multiplexes and theatre companies in India have changed the preferences and viewpoints of the audience towards movies in today’s time. This enhancement begins in the mid-1990s with the first-ever multiplex of India, PVR Anupam. Today, the chain of multiplexes, along with theatre companies in India, has expanded on a broad scale.
This popularity of multiplexes was pretty tough on the single-screen theatre, and with such an increasing number of multiplexes today, merely a few years are left for the business of single-screen theatre to come to an end. And it’s totally true that multiplexes have made our movie time way more convenient and with multiple options. Now, that brings us to the main content of this article, which is, the top multiplexes in India. So, let’s get started!
