On April 23, European Union regulators announced that Apple and Meta were the initial companies to be penalised for violating a new law that was designed to enhance competition in the digital economy.
This development is expected to escalate tensions with the Trump administration. For violating the 2022-passed Digital Markets Act, Apple was fined 500 million euros ($570 million), and Meta was fined €200 million ($230 million).
The goal of European legislation is to prevent large tech firms from misusing their power as digital gatekeepers, which allows them to unilaterally impose regulations on businesses and customers.
The European Commission, the executive arm of the 27-nation EU, accused Apple of violating the Digital Markets Act by limiting the way app developers may inform consumers about deals and other offers. By enforcing a “consent or pay” system that requires users to either pay a subscription fee for ad-free versions of Facebook and Instagram or consent to the usage of their personal data to target advertisements, Meta violated it.
Trade War Between EU and the US
Despite the conflict between the US and the EU over trade, tariffs, and the conflict in Ukraine, there has been some agreement on how to deal with the market dominance of the biggest digital firms in the world.
As owners of goods and services necessary for information, communication, trade, and other purposes, the tech giants have accumulated trillions of dollars in share value. Over the past year, Google has lost two significant antitrust cases in the US for abusing its dominance in the search and advertising industries.
Meta is on trial in Washington on charges that it used acquisitions to stifle competition. Apple and Amazon are also being sued for antitrust in the United States. However, the Trump administration took offence at the decision.
The United States will not allow this new type of economic extortion, according to National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes. Extraterritorial laws that specifically target and harm American businesses, impede innovation, and permit censorship will be acknowledged as trade obstacles and a direct danger to free civil society, he continued.
According to a February White House letter, authorities would think about taking revenge if the European Union singled out American internet firms under the Digital Markets Act or the Digital Services Act, which are laws aimed at reducing disinformation and illegal online content.
Meta declared that it will probably challenge the decision, comparing it to imposing high tariffs on American businesses’ services.
Apple to Follow Legal Path
Apple accused the commission of compelling it to make adjustments to its products that amounted to giving away its technology and said that it would appeal the ruling.
The business was fined $2 billion by the European Union last year for undercutting competitors in the music streaming market through the App Store.
In a statement, Joel Kaplan, chief global affairs officer at Meta, claimed that the European Commission is trying to hinder prosperous American corporations while permitting European and Chinese enterprises to function according to separate rules.
This is more than simply a fine. The commission’s requirement that Meta should alter its business strategy amounts to a multibillion-dollar tariff on Meta and forces the company to provide a subpar service.

The company plans an aggressive two-year roadmap for phased omnichannel expansion.
Rupesh Jain, the digital jewellery pioneer who built Candere into one of India’s most successful online fine jewellery platforms before its acquisition by Kalyan Jewellers, is returning to the spotlight with a bold new venture, Lucira. A modern lab-grown diamond jewellery brand, Lucira is built for today’s conscious, design-forward consumer and aims to transform the way people engage with fine jewellery.
Positioning itself as the unrivalled “Rings King,” Lucira focuses exclusively on celebrating proposals, weddings, anniversaries, and personal achievements with intentional design and ethical brilliance. Lucira is born out of a simple but powerful idea: that luxury can be meaningful, personal, and responsible. Inspired by the Latin word Lucent, meaning “to shine,” the brand represents purity, brilliance, and a commitment to illuminating life’s most cherished moments with jewellery that reflects values as much as beauty. Merging heritage craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation, Lucira combines AI-led personalisation, certified lab-grown diamonds, and a seamless digital-first experience to build trust and intimacy in an industry that has traditionally relied on opaqueness and excess.
The launch of Lucira comes at a time when lab-grown diamonds are reshaping the fine jewellery landscape, both in India and globally. These diamonds are physically, visually, and chemically identical to mined diamonds, offering the same brilliance and longevity—but at a significantly lower financial cost. Certified by IGI, GIA, SGL, and Hallmark, Lucira diamonds offer complete transparency and assurance of quality. Each piece is handcrafted by artisans who blend traditional techniques with contemporary elegance, creating jewellery that celebrates individuality and connection.
Currently available online with nationwide delivery, Lucira will soon debut its flagship experience stores in key metros, followed by an ambitious retail expansion across India and global markets. With a phased omnichannel growth strategy, the brand is poised to become India’s first global lab-grown diamond luxury house.
Rupesh Jain, Founder of Lucira said, “Our vision is to create a premium, design-led fine jewellery destination that begins online and extends into beautifully curated physical spaces. With AI-powered customisation, virtual try-ons, and seamless e-commerce, we’re meeting customers where they are digitally native, value-conscious, and experience-driven. Our upcoming flagship stores will bring this vision to life, blending the ease of technology with the emotion of touch. As we expand across India and into global markets, our goal is simple: to make Lucira synonymous with modern luxury that’s personal, purposeful, and proudly Indian.”
Lucira is carving a niche in the fast-evolving bridal jewellery space, with a sharp focus on solitaires, bespoke engagement rings, eternity bands, and convertible pieces for everyday wear.

People all around the world know about Pepsi, and its products are enjoyed over one billion times just in every day by its consumers. PepsiCo Inc. is an American multinational company that manufactures, markets, and distributes various snacks, food, and beverages.
PepsiCo is also known to be one of the largest companies in the world because its products are available throughout 200 countries. The company was first formed in 1965 with the merging of the Pepsi-Cola and the Frito-Lay companies. The company is currently headquartered in Harrison, New York.
It is also the largest food and beverage business in North America according to its net revenue and the second-largest in the world, only behind Nestle. For the year 2024, PepsiCo’s revenue was $91.85 billion.
The company offers a wide variety of products such as soft drinks, fruit juices, ready-to-drink tea and coffee, energy/sports drinks, chips, packaged foods, bottled water, etc. The company is now also expanding its categories of products like probiotics, functional beverages, and even cold-pressed juices. Since its inception, Pepsico has acquired many brands. So, here’s a look at all the brands under PepsiCo.
The company had its humble beginnings with a carbonated drink that was made by a pharmacist, Caleb D Bradham, in North Carolina in the 1890s. The company was trademarked in the 1900s and became popular under Pepsi–Cola. However, after 20 years of success, Mr Bradham sold the company after it went bankrupt.
It wasn’t until the 1930s that it became profitable again because of Loft Inc.’s efforts. At this point, the Pepsi-Cola company expanded with Diet Pepsi and also went on to purchase Mountain Dew in the 1960s.
PepsiCo Inc. was founded in 1965 when the two big companies which are Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay, were merged. The company then went on to acquire Tropicana in 1998 and then Quaker Oats and Gatorade in 2001. Pepsi now has products like Pepsi, Diet Cola, Fritos corn chips, Lays potato chips, Cheetos cheese-flavoured snacks, Ruffles potato chips, and Rold Gold pretzels. But with the addition of Quaker Oats, Gatorade sports drinks were also added to the list, making it a billion-dollar company.
In 2018, the company acquired SodaStream, a company that makes machines for homemade sparkling water. Its recent acquisitions include Organic and raw trading Co, which is an Australian company, Chi Limited from Nigeria, and Tropic from France. It also acquired Costa, a British Coffee company.
Now, 70-plus years later, PepsiCo is a conglomerate and a multinational manufacturer and supplier of soft drinks, food items, snacks, and different types of juices. The company distributes its variety of products to more than 200 countries.

On Thursday, Bitcoin exceeded the $93,000 level, advancing over 6.5% in one day, while major altcoins surged as much as 15%. This increase occurred alongside an impressive turnaround in US policy. President Trump now seems to be in favor of the digital currency. He has proposed some relaxing measures that, if implemented, would take a lot of the regulatory weight off cryptocurrencies. In addition, we’ve just seen the SEC appoint a new chairman: Paul Atkins. Atkins certainly has some Bitcoin-like confidence to him, he’s headed to the SEC with plans to lighten up on some regulatory aspects that have made digital assets seem above-average risky.
The Trump administration’s decision to disband the crypto enforcement unit at the Justice Department has given a shot in the arm to the positive momentum in the crypto market. The threat of clampdowns by regulators seems to be fading, and that can only push prices higher, as investors become more acceptable of the idea of taking on risk.
Institutional Inflows and ETF Momentum
One essential metric driving this surge is the heightened institutional involvement. Direct investment vehicles like crypto ETFs have enjoyed strong capital inflows, which seem to denote an increase in direct interest and confidence in the asset class from not just retail investors, but also from large fund managers who are allocating portions of their portfolios to cryptocurrencies.
Over the same span, actual trading volumes have ramped up too, particularly for Bitcoin, which saw tracked trading volumes of over $56 billion in just the past 24 hours alone. That’s a 50% rise from the last recorded period, according to figures from Coinmarketcap.
The whole digital asset market saw an increase of almost 7%, which pushed the overall market cap of digital assets to an impressive INR 2.94 trillion. The volume transacted within the digital asset market hit an astounding INR 133.5 billion, this was almost 10% more than the volume from the prior week and a clear indicator of the broad market participation we are seeing in the digital asset space. Among the many standout digital assets, Ethereum impressed greatly with a nearly 15% surge pushing the price of Ethereum to up near INR 1,816.52.
Macro Tailwinds Drive Bullish Sentiment
A depreciating US dollar has rendered crypto even more enticing as a substitute value store. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s recent comments on where the trade conflict might be headed have also worked to lift investor sentiment. Bessent sees the trade tensions with China resolving as a big plus for market stability, and we know how that kind of stability has historically paved the way for things like cryptocurrencies.
Another promising indicator has been the drop in inflows to Bitcoin exchanges, which points toward diminished selling pressure. Analysts think that this trend will keep going, with Bitcoin looking to make a run at $100,000 if the bulls stay in charge.
It is no secret that Vietnam has become a hub for global manufacturing. Like China before it, the Southeast Asian nation has lured multinational companies to set up production in its rapidly developing economy. Whether it’s sports equipment, smartphones or textiles, firms are making everything in Vietnam, and then shipping it all over the world.
India Joins Race
The “China Plus One” strategy has favored Vietnam above all other nations, and it’s not difficult to see why. This younger nation offers a competitive corporate tax rate, trade policies that are efficient, a geographic position that is practically next door to China, and a young, rapidly growing workforce. By 2023, with these assets and more, Vietnam was producing nearly half of Google’s premium Pixel phones.
The next event in this unfolding saga centers on India. Google is in negotiations with Indian manufacturers such as Dixon Technologies and Foxconn to pull part of its production of smartphones for the U.S. market out of Vietnam and relocate it to India. This is bound to become part of any conversation centered on the ambition of this next-corner nation to become a global hub for electronics.
Tariffs and Trade Winds Shift Favorably for India
For this pivot, one of the main reasons is the imminent threat of hefty US tariffs on imports from Vietnam. The United States recently slapped a 46% tariff on goods coming from Vietnam, compared to a 26% rate on exports coming from India.
These tariffs are on hold for the time being, but in the face of such pronouncements from Washington, companies are re-examining where they should base their overseas operations. And in that climate, India has suddenly become a lot more favorable.
The Ripple Effect Beyond Smartphones
Alphabet’s pivot might just be the beginning. Other sectors, such as electronics, apparel, furniture, and toys, all heavily reliant on Vietnamese manufacturing, are also under scrutiny. Given that companies like Nike, Hasbro, and Samsung are already deeply embedded in Vietnam, a broader shift could be on the horizon. As tariff policies continue to evolve, India stands to gain across multiple industries, provided it can scale up production and logistics quickly enough.
Vietnam still retains some advantages, such as a clear ease of doing business and reliable infrastructure. However, India’s large domestic market and government incentives might finally give it the traction needed to become a manufacturing powerhouse.
Even though it is a favorable trend for India, there are hurdles to overcome. Progress is still held up by challenges in acquiring land, labor laws that are more hindrance than help, and the kind of bureaucratic red tape that can slow and sometimes stop even well-intentioned projects. If India is going to really seize this opportunity and not just play catch-up, it has to fix these structural problems, preferably with an eye toward the kind of infrastructure, policy stability, and supply chain logistics that will be necessary to keep the global manufacturing machine humming.
Few close to him were surprised when Elon Musk announced he would scale back, in a big way, his direct involvement with the federal government. This was not so much a parting from Washington as a parting of ways in business. During an earnings call, Musk said he would restrict his visits to federal agencies and similar meetings to “a couple of days a week, maximum.” This was described as a shift of sorts for Musk, who has waded deeply into federal issues.
Even with this withdrawal, Musk is still an influence in international trade, urging President Trump to think again about those heavy tariffs. That said, Trump at the moment, doesn’t seem to be paying much heed to Musk’s suggestions.
DOGE’s Lasting Influence and Controversial Methods
Even as Musk reduces his direct influence in Washington, D.C., his work is still felt through the Revenue Doge unit. This initiative, which aims to root out inefficiencies in federal agencies, has led to sharp staffing cuts, contract cancellations, and a major restructuring of several of those agencies. These measures, especially in offices like the Social Security Administration and the IRS, have caused big trouble inside those organizations. In one very disturbing episode, the DOGE staff used the Social Security databases to misclassify some immigrants so that we could deny them services. Critics say what we are doing here is blurring some ethical lines and calling into question some very important public programs.
Political Cost and Public Scrutiny
Musk’s extreme cost-cutting has made waves in political circles, especially among lawmakers worried about the prospect of public backlash. The waste that Musk promised to find and publicize has not materialized. Public audits have put his inflated success claims, budget errors, and anachronistic credit-taking for changes made well before the DOGE era into a more realistic frame. Still, President Trump keeps lauding Musk in public and considers the billionaire a prized source of donations.
Under the leadership of Musk confidant Steve Davis, DOGE is seen by insiders as having the potential to sustain itself without daily direction from Musk. In the federal system, Musk has placed loyalists to ensure continuity of his vision. Advisors now liken the momentum of DOGE to that of a rocket: it was launched with powerful thrust but is now coasting on inertia.
Musk is now redirecting his energy towards Tesla, SpaceX, and the other companies he runs. Still, he has substantial momentum in the political world. It is unclear exactly how much influence DOGEcoin, the digital currency he champions, will have in the American system of government. But it could become a long-lasting presence, much like its creator.
Renault is doubling its commitment to the Indian market. The auto manufacturer is poised to unleash five new models over the next two years as part of a reinvigorated strategy of expansion and localization. By taking complete control of its Indian manufacturing operations, through the acquiring of all shares in RNAIPL, Renault has on-boarded the lead role in driving vehicle production for that joint venture. That next move, coupled with the opening of a design center in India, further cements the brand’s ambitions in an increasingly competitive Indian auto market.
The next-generation versions of the Triber and Kiger are among several new offerings that Renault plans to launch. Among the new offerings, two highly anticipated SUVs aimed at the B+ and C segments are set to debut. These are two massive growth segments. The segment is seeing big-time growth, growing a lot faster than the overall market. We are seeing growing demand for vehicles in this segment.
Next-Gen Duster and Bigster Target Premium SUV Market
Renault’s strategy focuses on launching next-generation models. The highlights of the strategy are:
Next-generation Duster: Playing on Duster’s legacy as a pioneering compact SUV, first launched in India in 2012. It was a segment pioneer and carried a lot of weight in helping push Renault’s brand image forward in the country. It also had a lot going for it in terms of price positioning and a set of strengths that made it quite appealing to a broad audience.
Bigster: A three-row SUV will compete in the top tier of that segment and should give top contenders like Creta a run for their money.
Stay Competitive: Deliver features that stand out. Don’t just attempt to match competitors on price. Instead, learn from competitors that offer good features and value for money.
Electrification and Multi-Powertrain Strategy
Renault will take a flexible approach to powertrains for its upcoming vehicles, in line with emerging market trends. The company’s next-generation lineup will include drive systems ranging from internal combustion engines to fully electric powertrains, with hybrids and compressed natural gas vehicles in between. The Duster and Bigster will be the first models to sport hybrid technology, a marked departure from the brand’s previous focus on turbo gas engines.
Although early speculation pointed to a locally adapted version of the Kwid EV, Renault is indicating a more premium product for its electric entry. In the price range of INR 17 lakh to INR 25 lakh, the new EV will compete with the MG ZS EV, Mahindra BE 6, and the soon-to-launch Maruti e-Vitara. By 2027, the EV segment is set to become even more crowded, with global players like Skoda, Honda, and Volkswagen also throwing their hats into the ring.
Indian equity markets entered a new realm on Wednesday when BSE Sensex closed above 80,000 for the first time in 2025, capping yet another seven-day rally. Technology stocks surged leading the charge. The Nifty IT Index registered its biggest single-day jump in nine months. It was set up by HCL Technologies, serving up robust quarterly results, which sent shares up 8%. Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and Tech Mahindra were not left behind, serving up gains of between 3% and 6%.
The automotive, pharmaceutical, and real estate sectors were moving forward, with their respective stocks advancing by 1% to 2%. In contrast, the banking sector was lagging. Both the Nifty Bank and the PSU Bank indices slipped by around 0.6%. Investment sentiment, however, remained upbeat, bolstered by strong signals from the global markets.
Global Cues Fuel Domestic Optimism
Dalal Street drew much of its force from sharp moves on Wall Street. US indices saw large moves to the upside overnight after President Donald Trump made some remarks that seemed to suggest a softening of his hard-line approach to tariffs on Chinese imports. This was read as a potential breakthrough in ongoing trade negotiations, Trump also made reassuring comments about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which certainly didn’t hurt market sentiment.
The immediate impact was felt in the markets. The Nasdaq Composite shot up nearly 4%, the Dow Jones soared 2.3%, and the S&P 500 jumped close to 3% in mid-session trades. These developments lifted investor spirits across Asian markets, including India, pushing benchmark indices to fresh highs.
FIIs Back in Action
Foreign institutional investors have been pivotal to the recent upturn of the market. On a single day, Wednesday, FIIs made net purchases to the tune of INR 3,333 crore. Over the last five trading days, they have pumped in around INR 20,410 crore, which is almost USD 2.4 billion, into Indian equities. This renewed foreign capital inflow has imparted a lot of confidence in the domestic investors, and this is what seems to be the main factor behind the rally.
At the same time, the Sensex has increased by nearly 6,300 points, or 8.5%, from its close of 73,847 on April 9, to now. The rally has bestowed upon investors an added wealth of about 3.1 lakh crore rupees, as the BSE’s total market capitalization now stands at about 430.5 lakh crore rupees.
Gains Come With a Note of Caution
Even though the mood is still upbeat, some market experts are advising investors to be cautious. They say that rising crude oil prices and an ambiguous trend in corporate earnings could lead to the market consolidating over the short term.
Vinod Nair, the Head of Research at Geojit Investments, remarked that easing US-China trade frictions and a surge in US technology stocks have greatly improved the sentiment in global markets. Yet, he also mentioned that we should not ignore the possibility of a near-term consolidation in the markets due to some mixed domestic earnings reports, the rise in crude oil prices, and the rally in the markets all by themselves.
AI tools revolutionize Human Resource activities through process optimization, decision-making enhancement, and employee experience improvement. Repetitive tasks such as resume screening, interview scheduling, onboarding paperwork, and performance reviews get automated. These tools work with natural language processing and machine learning to identify suitable candidates, eliminate biases, and foster diversity. AI chatbots are deployed for real-time responses to HR queries, while sentiment analysis and feedback tools are used for assessing the morale and engagement of employees. Personalized journeys involving onboarding and automated individual learning pathways help with growth and satisfaction.
Workforce planning, compliance, and communication also see a boost from AI’s insights. Predictive analytics assist in evolving strategies to act against risks of turnover, at the same time, while automated compliance tools ensure that policy documentation is current. Communication flow is made easier with grammar and tone checkers for job descriptions and internal messages, ensuring professionalism. This way, AI software helps HR practitioners by eliminating time on task management.

Conclusion
The field of Human Resources is being changed by the introduction of AI tools that can complete the entire process from automating the most common routine task to providing intelligent decision-making at the end of the day, and then augmenting the entire experience for employees themselves. With the help of different AI-enabling solutions, the Human Resources team can carry out their entire business from recruitment and talent acquisition to the administration of performance, employee engagement, and workforce analytics. These technologies reduce bias in hiring, personalize employee development, streamline communication, and provide actionable insights from data analytics.
Adoption would then not benefit minor cost savings on such important factors as accuracy and speed. However, organizations should study other equally important factors such as data privacy, user experience, integration capabilities, and cost. With thoughtful preparation and evaluation through the years, adoption involves alignment with the goals and culture of the organization.
AI tools are becoming increasingly important for HR as they can automate tasks, improve efficiency, enhance decision-making ultimately streamlining HR processes.
