think you broke him mentally
 
@BouncerGuy This thread is for positive news in India, there are hundreds of other threads which show India in negative light. Can you warn the poster to not hijack the only positive news thread on these forums?
Lol , most of the posts aren’t even relevant it just that happens in my timezone and i get to see it ..
 
The tariffs have made the regulators open up for global banks, next recession we will not be shielded.. it can be a good thing too with GCCs being setup for global banks already and the financing tools available in India as well.

The biggest issue would be how resources trickle down.

 

Hyderabad has grown leaps and bounds in defense exports. Defense will be one of the key manufacturing hubs in India and a significant contributor to exports. Hyderabad itself doubled its 9M25 A&D exports to $4B+

One of the key talent base in India is for Fintech and IT for finance operations. India has full spectrum of operations for leading banks from Cybersecurity to credit ratings.

But I get your point. Even our own banks will not be shielded from recession with the way loan policies are currently operated. But, its time our markets get opened to FDIs in insurance and Fintech as that fastens deployment of multiple integrated products reducing risks
 
Data centers growth is more rapid than expected


While many underplay it, it is the key enabler for rapid AI growth. And it offers employment through tertiary sectors like HVACs, Chips etc and its own maintenance

Vizag particularly has received some serious investment of ~3B USD in Data centers in 2025 itself. Cannot undermine the state-governments competence in securing these investments apart from BJP at the center.

One good thing is that states are competing with each other for the better investment.They are on the prowl to get capital investment and show the progress.I see atleast 8 / 9 states are doing exceedingly well.
 
Data centres are resources extensive..not sure how we plan to power them unless its nuclear energy.

Modern data centres might be better but still extremely resource intensive
 
It means naxals are no longer a force .its very good for both Chhattisgarh and odisha.

I read bihar Gdp is progressing at 13% per annum for past 15 years. But its so lagging behind when to compared to other states and their recent developments, even now its overall 1/3 of India .We should hope for new players to push the growth engine.

Gotta give the indians for the best bridge in the world:


Government undertaken projects fail 99.99% of the time. They look unappealing even when completed and the design looks poor and lacks esthetics.

Until and unless most of the construction is given to private companies, the circus will continue. Problems is freeloaders and reservations and caste peddlers will riot on the streets. As I said, it’s a never ending circus.
 
Interesting that you lot are believing india has increased as the reports stated, when this econmist of yours is stating that the number are artificially inflated:

Apple's list of component makers widen to 8 states and 40 suppliers across India.
Apple is connecting all the suppliers across the country into its global supply chain
Best news ever, hopefully they can keep up.



“Recently, Apple added a new list of suppliers in the country in the last few months, including Hindalco in Gujarat, Wipro PARI, Bharat Forge, Jabil in Maharashtra, SFO Technologies in Kerala and VVDN Technologies in Haryana, BS said.”
 
Hanoi, December 4, 2025 – VinFast and the Government of Tamil Nadu signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to allocate approximately 200 hectares of land in the SIPCOT Industrial Park in Thoothukudi to support the development of the Company’s existing facility. This milestone provides an opportunity for VinFast to broaden its product portfolio from electric cars to electric buses, e-scooters and charging infrastructure, while reaffirming the company’s long-term commitment to the world’s third largest automotive market.


As the second phase of its existing USD 2 billion commitment,VinFast will invest USD 500 million in Thoothukudi to develop new dedicated workshops and production lines for electric buses and e-scooters, covering manufacturing, assembly, testing and other related operations.

The existing Thoothukudi facility covers 400 acres (160 hectares) and is equipped with internationally standardized production lines. It has an initial annual capacity of 50,000 electric vehicles and is being expanded to 150,000 units.



 
Cmon with all the negativity in India, lets start to improve India, so long its been over populaed, massive poverty, hustlng to survive, massive crime rates in every fields, women rights not going to the global standard.

India runs on the shoulders of its bureaucrats, but what happens when those shoulders are weighed down by greed instead of responsibility? From collapsing bridges and laughable “engineering marvels” to peons living in luxury bungalows and IAS officers on ego trips: the system meant to serve the people is now serving itself

I was listening to this guy video and started to uplift me, a rocky bilboa moment, you could say:




@JaDed @Vikram1989 @Rajdeep @Devadwal - what you think, you agree with me or not, anyways i would always liek to hear your views, how can we help India, not looking good for the next generations
 
Because @finalfantasy7 is bumping all threads. The guy seems to be on a mission. Joined the forum in 2011 but only recently took the sleeper cell job.

:ROFLMAO:
no im not bumping all threads, its just thrs a lot of recent indian news articles - which contracdict many indian posters on here, yet you keep hiding from these topics

its still relevant news to whre ive attached them onto pp,


look at the moaist news ive listed - 2 great videos / articles i listed - no one powstem them before - so i did - not many reports in india talked about it, this pp forum we talk about news ,


News doenst have to be listen on here within a few days, we list updated news articles - why does this hurt you and the fellow indians posters - you dont have to engage even if i've @ you


we can discuss these topics
 
I’m not sure why negative articles are being brought into a thread that’s specifically about India’s positive achievements. Every country has strengths and weaknesses that’s not the issue here.

If the topic is meritocracy and positive developments, then let’s discuss those on their own merit. Dragging in unrelated negative stories doesn’t add value, it only derails the conversation and defeats the purpose of a thread meant to highlight the positive side.

That said, no single positive milestone suddenly transforms a country into a utopia, nor does it erase the reality that India’s current ruling party promotes a bigoted, religion driven agenda. Only people with miniature, insecure mindsets, like @uppercut, @Devadwal, @Hitman and @Rajdeep, pretend that any progress automatically negates the ruling party’s extremism. That’s just self comfort for their own religious anxieties.

Pakistani posters should avoid sinking to that level, especially in a thread that was meant to stay focused on the positive.
the links ive posted is for you to share and speak about - as thr not thr for anyone to laugh at - but for your interest to raise these same topics - so they get more noticed - so in future they will be fixed

aka - 642 & 643 posts - these can be easily sorted out - fellow indians push these aryicles futher so these problems are no more
 

Not on China Shenzhen level now is it:​

Reality of India's Cyber City! 😶



What I discovered will break your heart:
  • Construction workers who build glass towers live 5 in a room, splitting ₹3,500 rent
  • Sewage flows through residential streets 24/7 - families drink contaminated water daily
  • Water filters turn black in 15 days because drinking water is mixed with sewage
  • 75 people share 2 dark, cockroach-infested toilets with no lighting
  • During monsoons, workers wade through 1.5 feet of toxic water while Cyber City stays dry
  • MLAs collect money for "cleaning" through QR codes, then cleaning staff disappears
  • 9 people died this year from flooding while IT companies celebrated record profits
This isn't just about bad drainage - it's about invisible human lives.The same rain that barely inconveniences Cyber City turns their homes into a nightmare. Two different worlds, separated by just one road

93% of India’s B-school graduates are useless​


Most Indian MBAs are good for nothing.​


a3118401ae9bcbdd1713abd6eb09178c.jpg

Most Indian MBAs are good for nothing.
Only 7% of the graduates passing out of Indian business schools today are actually employable, according to a study by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham), which represents over 450,000 business entities.
The study says that with the exception of the elite Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and the top 20 ranking institutions, most of India’s 5,500 B-schools produce “un-employable” graduates. And they land up in jobs—if at all—that pay less than Rs10,000 ($150) a month.
“Lack of quality control and infrastructure, low-paying jobs through campus placement and poor faculty are the major reasons for India’s unfolding B-school disaster,” Assocham explained. Outdated curriculum, too, contributes to the problem.

That’s why some of India’s B-schools—both approved and otherwise—are increasingly going out of business. ”Around 220 B-schools shut down in the last two year in cities such as Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Dehradun, etc. And at least 120 more are expected to wind up in 2016,” the study said.

Poor education​

This is grim news especially when the Indian economy is poised for double-digit growth, and ambitious initiatives like Make in India demand skilled manpower.
“…if (the situation is) not reversed quickly, we will land ourselves in a scenario of having a large number of people with degrees but not enough manpower with proficiency to meet the emerging requirement of our industrial and other sectors,” Indian president Pranab Mukherjee said in January.
But the foundation for this low-quality education is often laid years before candidates reach B-school.
At primary level, many Indian government schools are a mess, facing an acute shortage of teachers. This churns out students with no basic arithmetic skills even at the age of 10 and 12. Nearly half the students studying in the fourth grade in such schools can’t perform even basic subtraction.

Dismal salaries​

This overall drop in quality is taking a toll on salaries and placements. In the last two years, Assocham says, campus recruitments have dropped by 45%—and salaries are falling.
A typical two-year MBA programme in India costs between Rs3 lakh ($4,510) and Rs5 lakh ($7,517) on an average. But the current average monthly salary for MBA grads is anywhere between Rs8,000 and Rs,10,000, according to Assocham. That translates into an annual pay of Rs96,000 ($1,442) to Rs1,20,000 ($1,804).
That, most MBAs would concur, is not much bang for your buck.


Decent score, thrs always a positive outcome, anyone have this yrs score :)

Yeah that area along with Virginia are Data center hubs.. they are coming up with newer tech for AI data centers..

So Cloud storage data centres differ from AI which are more like Hyperscale data centers with GPU and TPU they are more power consuming.. but newer tech helps the water pumped and stored once and then utilised consistently for cooling..

Cloud storage data centre's are in major regions(Eu Asia NA) as many companies and countries have that requirement of storing local data, the issue is that of the AI ones those extremely resource heavy and will continuously need higher resources as for AI scales up.. India is one of the highest consumers of AI models
 

New US Global strategy looks like India gets more importance than expected, Pakistan as usual there to be used and abused.
 

The GCC growth has been stupendous in 2025. The real impact will be in 2026 when they hire full fledged to reach planned targets.

Global job market has been tumultuous even in India, but GCC has not only given a breathing space but a good salary revision across the Indian job market. A 4-year experience in any GCC is fetching 15-20L which is 20-25K USD which is a very good salary in Indian standard.

Its not the time to celebrate as the job market has been difficult, but on the other hand, this gives ample hope for our youth as pay-scale is seeing an upward revision at low-experienced levels.

Job market has been terrible across the world but hopefully when the economy activity starts in future , GCCs will help many folks to move to next level of their career.

Honestly though as someone residing in America not the best case scenario if decisions start getting made in GCC.. the only thing right now going forward is American employees is that decision making happens here.

I run the finance division in a pretty decent sized GCC across multiple locations in India and I can tell you job-wise, it's a mixed story.

As the higher end of talent (CAs, A-level MBAs), the demand is intense. There's a new GCC opening every couple of months and they're all hunting the same talent. We're handing out huge retention bonuses and massive salary increases and still can't keep hold of folks. 35% attrition rate. At the same time, we're trying to move high quality finance roles to India from the States - quality financial modeling, taxation, analytics. It's just not sustainable. There are roles where we're paying 50% of American salaries for comparable talent.

At the lower end though - transaction processors, accountants etc., the market's very stagnant. A lot of the automation (and the beginning of GenAI deployment) is bearing fruit. We're aggressively weeding out bottom performers without making a huge noise about it. Attrition is in the single digits.

From conversations with peers, I think it's similar in other fields like technology. If we're expecting the influx of GCCs to create millions of new jobs, I think we're going to be mistaken. Everyone's going to be running very lean.

That is true for tech, for fresh graduates in India I have been told they have to go the internship route mass hiring is finished.

For engineering this means colleges have to produce employment ready grads which tbh wasn’t a thing back in 2010s.. most of them went through training of the Indian IT companies, tough times but honestly way more information available along with so many open source softwares.

This is true across all organizations now. GCCs doesn't create volume but improves quality.

Sanofi had a contract with TCS i think in Hyderabad where ~200 TCS folks were replaced with ~40 folks but with ~40% higher base pay. One of my senior colleague joined as a mid-level manager there in Hyderabad.

There is still demand for quality jobs but low-end jobs are going to be weeded out. This will take some time to settle in. By 2030, current 1.8-2M GCC jobs may double in India but again the overall volume in IT may see a muted growth. I hope the quality of pay will enable more consumption-oriented sectors to absorb the low-skilled workers.

In our vertical, there is a lot of hiring a ‘M’ level but very muted at lower levels. Skill demand has changed like Excel was the basic for analytics for the past decades but SQL is the basic skill now. Even a non-IT guy should learn SQL and know to use Gen-AI tools and thats the demand in the market now. Crazy times!!
 

Amazon to invest over $35 billion in India on AI, exports​

Amazon plans to invest more than $35 billion in India by 2030 to expand its operations by boosting artificial intelligence capabilities and increasing exports, the U.S. e-commerce giant said on Wednesday, as global tech firms deepen their presence in Asia's third-largest economy.
Major U.S. tech firms have poured billions of dollars into India this year, underscoring the country's emergence as a strategic hub for cloud, AI and deep‑tech growth.

Microsoft pledged an investment of $17.5  billion in India for AI and cloud infrastructure by 2030 on Tuesday, marking its largest investment in Asia, while Google (GOOGL.O), opens new tab has committed $15  billion over the next five years to build AI data centers.
Amazon's investments are "strategically aligned with India's national priorities and will focus on expanding AI capabilities, enhancing logistics infrastructure, supporting small business growth and creating jobs," the company said in a statement.

The e-commerce giant, which has invested $40 billion in India since 2010, announced a $26 billion investment in 2023.
Amazon said it plans to create 1 million additional job opportunities in India by 2030. The firm also said it has helped generate more than $20 billion in cumulative exports for sellers in India in the last ten years, and plans to increase that to $80 billion by 2030.
India, the world's most populous nation, is a critical market for Amazon, due to its rapidly expanding internet user base.

 

Amazon confirms 10 lakh new jobs in India by 2030 after global layoffs: Here’s all you need to know​


Amazon has been the name behind some of the most brutal layoffs in the industry. However, the US giant is investing big time in India. After committing $35 billion to the country, Amazon has announced one of its most ambitious commitments yet to the Indian market – facilitating the creation of an additional one million (10 lakh) new job opportunities in the country by 2030. Earlier this year, the company announced layoffs of around 14,000 corporate employees as part of a restructuring effort to streamline operations and shift focus and investment toward long-term priorities like generative AI.

The massive investment plan, unveiled at the company’s Smbhav Summit in New Delhi, shows Amazon’s deep long-term confidence in India’s digital and economic future, even as the tech giant undergoes a significant global corporate restructuring that recently involved laying off approximately 14,000 employees worldwide. India has lately seen major investments by global tech giants like Microsoft, Google, Cognizant, and others.

Amazon doubles down on India’s digital ecosystem​

The $35 billion investment will be poured into three key areas: AI-led digitisation, boosting Indian exports, and expanding employment opportunities. This new commitment is in addition to the nearly $40 billion Amazon has already invested in India since it entered the market in 2010, which was used to build expansive fulfillment centers, transportation networks, and cloud infrastructure.

Amazon currently supports approximately 2.8 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs in India, according to an economic impact report by Keystone Strategy released at the summit.

Amit Agarwal, Senior Vice President for Emerging Markets at Amazon, highlighted that the company sees its growth aligning closely with India’s national development goals. “We want to democratise access to AI for millions of Indians and quadruple our cumulative e-commerce exports to $80 billion by 2030,” Agarwal stated.

AI, exports, and job creation​

The new job opportunities, which will be direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal, are expected to emerge from Amazon’s expanding logistics, fulfillment, and delivery networks, as well as associated industries like packaging, manufacturing, and transportation.

Amazon’s “Global Selling” program, which has already enabled over $20 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports from India, is being accelerated through a new Accelerate Exports program. This initiative will connect local sellers with manufacturing partners and facilitate global sales. Amazon also plans to bring AI tools to 15 million small businesses and provide AI learning and exposure to four million government school students through curriculum support and technology initiatives by 2030.

 
Despite U.S. tariffs, India has recently pulled in a remarkable wave of massive technology investments from global tech giants, especially in AI, cloud, data centers, and digital infrastructure. (y)(y)

First, Google announced a $15 billion AI hub.
Second, Microsoft announced an investment of $17.5 billion in AI and cloud infrastructure.
And now Amazon has announced $35 billion in AI exports.

New law will guarantee atleast 125 days of work instead of existing 100.

 
India's most powerful Quantum computer in Benguluru. Good to see India moving towards Quantum computing. It will be the future by 2030.

 

Mumbai will further make its case to become one of the key finance hubs of Asia. Most probably, all the key banks will expand their presence here. Looks like its a bulk deal b/w Global banks and Brookfield investments
JPMC to have 2M sq.ft that makes it close to 20-30K employees.


JPMC already has huge presence in Hyderabad. Mumbai should expand its financial services market and aim to become the next Hongkong.
