The share of high-priced natural black hair donated in Tirumala temple (#Tirupati), Andhra Pradesh, has nearly halved over the past three years. Wigmakers and researchers attribute the shift more to the growing trend of hair colouring among younger women than to the declining religious fervour among millennials and Gen Z. My short news feature in ET today. #HappyDiwali

Lost your phone? This is what happens to it after it's stolen

When smartphones are snatched or stolen in crowded streets, the snatchers aren’t the ones getting rich. They are the lowest link in what is a remarkably efficient shadow economy.

The government has relaxed some key procurement terms and conditions in its latest efforts to procure 10,000 fresh GPUs, aiming to make it easier for companies to offer compute as part of the IndiaAI Mission. Industry executives have however said that the main issue of providing some guarantee of usage of compute, which will help the companies make GPU commitments, has still not been addressed in the latest tender. They are also worried about some vendors quoting unsustainably low prices that are hard to match for others. By @SurakshaPinnuET economictimes.indiatimes.com…

Why India needs to brace for some challenging times ahead. It may not matter much which way the US midterms swing as Trump will look to enforce his actions either way. Meanwhile, Govt's manoeuvrability at home will be constrained by domestic politics as tough economic calls stare back amid geopolitical flux in West Asia.
