Khona had returned to Go First in August 2020 as its CEO

Bankrupt Go First's CEO Kaushik Khona resigns

<h2>Khona has put in his papers, nearly seven months after the no-frills airline suspended operations and went into insolvency proceedings</h2>

<p>Kaushik Khona, CEO of Grounded Go First, has stepped down, marking his departure from the company nearly seven months after the airline ceased operations and entered insolvency proceedings.</p>
<p>In an email addressed to the airline's employees, Khona conveyed that November 30 would be his final day at the organization. He expressed gratitude for the support received during his tenure, stating, "With a heavy heart, I have to inform that today is my last day with the company. I got an opportunity to work for Go FIRST once again in August 2020 and with your able and active support, I tried to perform to my best abilities."</p>
<p>Having returned to Go First as CEO in August 2020, Khona previously served the carrier from 2008 to 2011. In the email, he lamented the company's current state, hoping for a resolution that ensures pending salaries and dues for all employees. However, the challenges faced in reviving operations took a toll on his and his family's health, leading to his decision to depart.</p>

<p>Khona revealed that despite efforts, including the submission of a Section 10 application under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) for voluntary insolvency resolution proceedings, the company struggled to resume operations. The team diligently pursued Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) approval, conducted comprehensive audits, and put in sincere efforts. Regrettably, the anticipated revival was continually delayed, leaving employees unpaid for nearly six months.</p>
<p>The inability to find a path forward amid significant value within the company was cited by Khona. The Resolution Professional (RP) failed to identify interested parties willing to take the company ahead.</p>
<p>Go First ceased operations in early May and sought voluntary bankruptcy proceedings due to financial challenges, primarily stemming from Pratt &amp; Whitney engine issues.</p>

NR Narayana Murthy while talking at the 26th edition of Bengaluru Tech Summit 2023 mentioned that Compassionate Capitalism is the only solution for a poor country like India to become prosperous and not socialism and communism

Nothing should be given free: Narayana Murthy opposes freebies

<h2>NR Narayana Murthy while talking at the 26th edition of Bengaluru Tech Summit 2023 mentioned that Compassionate Capitalism is the only solution for a poor country like India to become prosperous and not socialism and communism</h2>

<p>Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy has opposed freebies and has called for an alternative approach. Narayana Murthy said, "nothing should be given free". He further suggested that people availing government services and subsidies should be made to contribute back to the betterment of society.</p>
<p>"When you provide those services, when you provide those subsidies, there must be something in return that they're willing to do. For example, if you say -- I will give you free electricity, then it would have been a very nice thing for the government to have said, but we want to see the percentage attendance in primary schools and middle schools go up by 20%, then only we will give you that," Narayana Murthy said</p>
<h3><strong>Narayana Murthy on Freebies</strong></h3>
<p>Talking at the 26th edition of Bengaluru Tech Summit 2023 on Wednesday, Murthy batted for compassionate capitalism and regarded it as the only solution for a poor country like India to become prosperous.</p>
<p>After expressing his idea, Narayana Murthy also made it clear that he is not against freebies while stressing on the importance of these subsidies for the poor and underprivileged. &nbsp;</p>
<p>"I am not against free services being provided. I fully understand, as I also came from a poor background once upon a time. But I think we should expect something in return from those people who received those free subsidies to take a slightly bigger responsibility towards making their future generation, their own children and grandchildren, better in terms of going to school, you know, performing better. That's what I mean," he added.</p>
<h3><strong>Narayana Murthy on Tax</strong></h3>
<p>He also expressed his views on India levying higher taxes on its citizens. Murthy said that in a developing country like India it is obvious to have higher taxation compared to developed countries.</p>
<p>"In order to create efficient, corruption-free and effective public goods in our country, the taxation will have to be obviously higher than what you see in developed countries. So, I personally would not at all grudge, if I have to pay a higher level of taxation," he said.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Explaining the higher taxation need on the basis of per capita GDP, Murthy pointed out that with $2,300 per capita GDP India has twice that of what is called "low income countries" by the United Nations and other bodies. However, he pointed out that India is still behind middle income country where the per capita GDP is somewhere between USD 6,000 to about 12,000 to 15,000.</p>
<p>He also went on to explain about his transformation from a leftist to a "determined compassionate capitalist". He said that compassionate capitalism is the only solution for a poor country like India to become prosperous and not socialism and communism.</p>

<h2>India&rsquo;s Best Workplaces in IT &amp; IT-BPM 2023 report has revealed that this sector spends Rs 1.97 crore to train employees and upskill them</h2>

<p>Indian IT &amp; IT-BPM services sector spends an average of Rs 1.97 crore in a company to train employees. India&rsquo;s Best Workplaces in IT &amp; IT-BPM 2023 report released on November 30 said that around 68% companies are closely involved in the development of employees across levels.</p>
<h3><strong>Training Employees</strong></h3>
<p>This comes when the IT sector is investing heavily in skilling employees in artificial intelligence (AI), generative AI and cloud computing skills. The report also mentions that the companies have started sharing quarterly updates on employees whose training has been completed, targets of workforces to be trained by the end of the financial year and more.</p>
<h3><strong>Best Companies to work</strong></h3>
<p>The report has also named the top 25 workplaces in IT &amp; IT-BPM 2023 report in which Accenture and Wipro are named. Other companies in the Top 25 include VOIS, Akamai Technologies, Atlassian, Blue Yonder, Cadence Design Systems, CGI Information Systems and Management, Consultants, Cisco Systems, Encora Innovation Labs and H &amp; R Block.</p>
<p>The companies are picked based on how they prioritised work culture. This became increasingly important to improve the productivity and employee retention. The report pointed out that amid the slowdown in hiring and the layoffs undertaken by some companies along with cut in salary has led to a decline in employee morale and satisfaction.</p>
<p>&nbsp;The prominent theme in the 2023 report that highlighted several aspects of employee well-being includes burnout. As per the data the burnout risk has affected 27% of employees in large companies, 3% higher than their mid-sized counterparts.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Female senior managers in particular experience a 5 percent higher burnout rate than male counterparts. The trend draws the importance of maintaining a delicate balance between growth and employee well-being,&rdquo; the report said.</p>

In November, the Federal Labor Agency reported a 5.9% unemployment rate, up from the previous month's 5.8%. Joblessness rose by 22,000, surpassing economists' median estimate in a Bloomberg survey by a slight margin.

Germany's unemployment soars to 2 1/2-year high amid economic slump

<h2>In November, the Federal Labor Agency reported a 5.9% unemployment rate, up from the previous month's 5.8%. Joblessness rose by 22,000, surpassing economists' median estimate in a Bloomberg survey by a slight margin.</h2>

<p>Germany, the largest economy in Europe, has encountered an unexpected rise in its unemployment rate, reaching its highest level in two and a half years. The Federal Labor Agency reported an increase to 5.9% in November, up from 5.8% the previous month. <br><br>This surge in joblessness, exceeding economist predictions by 22,000, signals the impact of economic weakness on the country's labor market, reported Bloomberg.</p>
<p>Andrea Nahles, the head of Germany&rsquo;s Federal Labor Agency, highlighted the repercussions of the economic slowdown. "The economic slump is leaving its mark," Nahles stated. "Employment is now only growing marginally, and demand for workers continues to weaken."</p>
<p>Despite Germany's traditionally robust labor market, the recent challenges have stemmed from the country's struggle to recover from the energy-induced crisis of the past winter. <br><br>The third-quarter saw a contraction in output, leading the Bundesbank to indicate that Germany might be heading into a recession.</p>
<p>A significant hurdle exacerbating this situation is the acute shortage of skilled labor, affecting approximately half of German companies. The industry lobby DIHK Chambers of Industry and Commerce estimated that this shortage could potentially result in a loss of about 2% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP).</p>
<p>Adding to the concerns is Germany's fiscal uncertainty following a surprising ruling by its top court. This chaos in fiscal matters poses an additional risk to the nation's recovery. In response, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and Bundesbank chief Joachim Nagel have urged Berlin to swiftly provide clarity on the budget.</p>
<p>The confluence of economic challenges, including a weakening labor market, skill shortages, and fiscal uncertainties, presents a complex scenario for Germany's economic recovery. The authorities face mounting pressure to take decisive actions to mitigate these issues and steer the country towards stability and growth.<br><br><strong>Also Watch: <a href="https://www.editorji.com/business-news/economy/india-hits-historic-low-in-unemployment-figures-sbi-report-1700023042099#google_vignette">India hits historic low in unemployment figures: SBI report</a></strong></p>

November manufacturing PMI rises to 56 as inflationary pressure retreat

<h2>As the rate of inflation eases to the lowest in 40 months along with the strengthening client demand and more favourable input supply, the Manufacturing PMI for November has risen to 56</h2>

<p><strong>Manufacturing PMI:&nbsp;</strong>The manufacturing sector has continued to do well in November with PMI rising to 56. After slowing a bit in October, the growth gathered pace as strengthening client demand and more favourable input supply boosted production volumes.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A reading of over 50 indicates expansion, while that of below 50 denotes contraction.</p>
<h3><strong>Inflationary pressure retreat</strong></h3>
<p>The inflationary pressure has retreated as the rise in purchase cost was modest in the month. This compared to the series of price rise that started in August 2020. Although average purchasing costs rose again, the rate of inflation eased to the lowest in the current 40-month sequence of increases.</p>

<p>As per PTI, the strong performance of the manufacturing sector is expected to continue in 2024 as well.&nbsp;</p>

While emphasising on having a proper financial plan, Suresh Sadagopan also pointed out at the need for having enough trust between the clients and the financial advisors

Invest Smart: How to decide if you need a financial advisor?

<h2>While emphasising on having a proper financial plan, Suresh Sadagopan also pointed out at the need for having enough trust between the clients and the financial advisors</h2>

<p>Comfort comes with planning. Having a financial plan in place propels you towards the goals you want to achieve to have a life of your dreams. While some are well-versed in handling their finance, some might prefer to have a financial advisor.</p>
<p>In this episode of Invest Smart we dwell in to the deciding factors of hiring a financial advisor. Suresh Sadagopan, Founder, Ladder7 Financial Advisories sheds light on what a financial advisor brings to the table.</p>
<h3><strong>Financial Planning</strong></h3>
<p>Sadagopan emphasises on having a proper financial plan as the major part of our prime years are spent in earning money. However, with time, as the earnings increase we stop paying the attention it requires. Sadagopan points out that this lack of attention stems from the lack of interest most people have towards finances. But anybody who is earning should have a plan for their money, he insists.</p>
<p>"Over a period of time we start earning a very significant amount of money. Once we start earning that much amount of money, we don't pay too much attention to it", says Suresh Sadagopan. "You need to have a plan for your money", he adds.</p>
<h3><strong>Who needs a financial advisor?</strong></h3>
<p>According to Sadagopan, a financial advisor is not neccessary if you are able to spend your time on keeping yourself up to date on all the developments regarding product, economy and markets. This inclination, he estimates, is exhibited by only 1% of the people.</p>
<p>The rest 99% get influenced by their friends, colleagues, television and newspaper while taking financial decisions. These people require a financial advisor, Sadagopan says.</p>
<p>"Mostly you do what your friend is doing, what your colleague is doing, what you have watched on television, what you have read on newspaper. That doesn't work well for most people. 99% of people require a financial advisor", Said Sadagopan</p>
<h3><strong>Financial advisor's role</strong></h3>
<p>Meanwhile, a financial advisor must be well aware of the status and requirement of their clients before suggesting an investment strategy. Sadagopan says having a full account of the investor's goals and financial state will help in deciding the kind of products, asset allocation, and risk.</p>
<p>Sadagopan also insists on establishing trust between the clients and advisors. He mentions that a client should both trust the advisor as well as understand the advices.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you do not have a financial advisor yet, Sadagopan insists on having a liquidity to cover 3 to 6 months of expenses including the EMIs and the near term goals. He also pointed out the importance of having a contigency fund, appropriate insurances (medical and life). Sadagopan further insisted on creating a retirement fund. He says, once all of this is done, you can spend the rest of the money guilt free.</p>
