<h2>Due to the growing travel industry, Private Equity firms are most likely interested in the stake sale offered by the VIP Industries</h2>

End of WFH? TCS announces to stop work from home model policy from October 1, 2023 and asks employees to come to the office 5 days a week.

TCS WFH Ends! TCS abandons hybrid work model policy, mandates full office attendance from October 1

TCS abandons hybrid work, mandates full office attendance from October 1

<h2>Currently, TCS employees are required to be in the office for only three days a week</h2>

TCS WFH Ends: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's largest IT company, is discontinuing its hybrid working policy. As per a report by CNBC-TV18, an internal communication was circulated earlier this month wherein the company has mandated that all employees must return to the office for five days a week, starting from October 1, 2023. Currently, employees are required to be in the office for only three days a week.
<h3>TCS Statement on WFH Ends</h3>
The official communication states, "As communicated by the CEO and Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) in various town hall meetings, it is now mandatory for all associates to be present in the office on all working days (5 days per week if there are no holidays) starting October 1, 2023."
<h3>TCS FY2023 Annual Report</h3>
In its FY23 annual report, TCS emphasized the importance of employees returning to the office. The report noted that more than half of the company's workforce was hired after March 2020, and these newer employees benefit significantly from physical interactions with senior colleagues and leaders to assimilate and learn from their behavior and ways of thinking.&nbsp;
It's worth noting that TCS allocates more than half of its revenue to cover employee benefits. In FY23, the company dedicated as much as 56.6 percent of its revenue to employee benefit expenses. TCS is the largest private employer in India, with a workforce of over six lakh (600,000) employees as of March 2023. Consequently, this change in policy may have a significant impact on a large number of employees who will now need to commute to the office.
Previously, in May 2020 during the first wave of the pandemic, TCS's then-CEO, Rajesh Gopinathan, introduced the "25x25 model," with the goal of bringing back 25 percent of the workforce to the office by the year 2025.

ISRO's upcoming mission to Venus- Shukrayaan 1 is an orbiter mission for studying Venus's various features and activities. Check out its budget, launch date, and other details here.

Shukrayaan-1 Budget, Launch Date: ISRO's Mission to Venus after Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1, What all you need to know

Shukrayaan-1 Mission: From launch date to budget, here's what you need to know

<h2>Shukrayaan 1 is an orbiter mission with advanced scientific instruments for studying Venus's various features and activities.</h2>

Shukrayaan-1: After achieving a historic milestone on August 23, 2023, by becoming the first nation to successfully land on the South Pole of the Moon, ISRO&rsquo;s next mission is Venus.
ISRO's Shukrayaan 1 mission, focused on Venus exploration, is scheduled for launch in December 2024. Remarkably, the concept for this mission was conceived back in 2012.
<h3>Shukrayaan-1 Budget</h3>
The upcoming ISRO mission to Venus, known as Shukrayaan 1, is projected to cost between ₹500 crore to ₹1,000 crore, depending on the level of instrumentation. S. Somanath, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), provided this estimate.
<h3>Shukrayaan-1 Launch Date</h3>
Launching a mission from Earth to Venus at the optimal time occurs approximately every 19 months. ISRO has also identified alternative launch opportunities in 2026 and 2028.
The delay in launching Shukrayaan 1 from its originally planned mid-2023 schedule to December 2024 was attributed to the pandemic, which disrupted manufacturing processes and commitments to commercial launch services. This delay also had ripple effects on other ISRO projects, including Aditya L-1 and Chandrayaan-3.
Shukrayaan 1 is designed as an orbiter mission, equipped with advanced scientific payloads, including a high-resolution synthetic aperture radar and a ground-penetrating radar. These instruments will enable comprehensive research on Venus's geological and volcanic activities, surface emissions, wind patterns, cloud cover, and other planetary characteristics.

Vedanta Demerger Plan: Vedanta to demerge its business units into 6 listed companies. Here is what shareholders will get from its demerger.

Vedanta Demerger Plan: Vedanta to create 6 listed companies with the aim to unlock value

Shareholders receiving 1 additional share of each of the five newly listed companies for every 1 share of Vedanta Limited they hold

<h2>Shareholders receive one additional share of each of the five newly listed companies for every 1 share of Vedanta Limited they hold.</h2>

Vedanta Demerger: Vedanta Limited, led by billionaire Anil Agarwal, has announced a significant move towards value creation by demerging its business units.&nbsp;
<h3>Vedanta to demerge business into 6 listed companies</h3>
The conglomerate plans to establish six separate listed companies: Vedanta Aluminium, Vedanta Oil &amp; Gas, Vedanta Power, Vedanta Steel and Ferrous Materials, Vedanta Base Metals, and Vedanta Limited. This decision aims to create independent verticals for metals, power, aluminium, and oil and gas businesses.&nbsp;
<h3>Vedanta demerger plan</h3>
The demerger is structured as a vertical split, with shareholders receiving 1 additional share of each of the five newly listed companies for every 1 share of Vedanta Limited they hold. The move is anticipated to unlock the potential value of each business unit, allowing for faster growth and independent management strategies.
Anil Agarwal, Chairman of Vedanta, highlighted the rationale behind the decision, stating, &ldquo;By demerging our business units, we believe that will unlock value and potential for faster growth in each vertical. While they all come under the larger umbrella of natural resources, each has its own market, demand and supply trends, and potential to deploy technology to raise productivity.&rdquo;
The appointed leaders for the new entities include John Slaven for Vedanta Aluminium, Vibhav Agarwal for Vedanta Power, Chris Griffith for Vedanta Base Metals, and Arun Misra for Vedanta Limited.
The conglomerate, known for its diverse portfolio in metals and minerals, oil and gas, traditional ferrous vertical, and power, is also venturing into the manufacturing of semiconductors and display glass.
Emphasizing their commitment to sustainability, Vedanta stated that each company resulting from the demerger aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and net water positivity by 2030. They plan to invest $5 billion over the next decade to accelerate this transition.
Notably, Hindustan Zinc, a Vedanta subsidiary, also disclosed plans for corporate restructuring to unlock growth, focusing on separate entities for zinc, lead, silver, and recycling businesses.
Hindustan Zinc experienced a surge of almost 6 percent. Vedanta holds a 64.92 percent stake in Hindustan Zinc as of the June quarter shareholding pattern. Shares of Vedanta had ended 7 percent higher on Friday in what was its best single-day performance in 2023.
Shares of the Anil Agarwal-led mining conglomerate fell to a 31-month low earlier this week following Moody's Investors Service's downgrade of some of the bonds issued by its parent company Vedanta Resources Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as per a CNBC-TV18 report.&nbsp; &nbsp; Vedanta's parent company faces repayment of notes worth nearly $2 billion in 2025. Including these bonds, the company is facing debt repayment worth $3.6 billion in the next financial year, according to Kotak Institutional Equities.

<h2>Gamezop's co-founder said that the company may plan for an IPO in 2025 or 2026</h2>

The casual gaming industry in India is expected to experience strong growth in the coming years. One Indian startup making waves in this space is Gamezop. For the seventh episode of our series 'Startup to Scaleup,' we interviewed Gamezop's co-founder, Gaurav Agarwal.
Delhi-based Gamezop is a multi-game, plug-and-play platform that has partnered with various social media, e-commerce, video streaming, and payment platforms such as Myntra, Grofers, ShareChat, MX Player, and PhonePe, offering games for dedicated gaming sections on these platforms.
In this conversation, Agarwal took us through the details of Gamezop's unique B2B business model. He told us how any gaming company across the world could be a potential competitor, though the mechanism used by Gamezop is different from all of them.
He also shared details of Gamezop's revenue picture in the free-to-play casual gaming market, which is powered by advertising. According to market research firm Statista, this market was valued at Rs 3,600 crore in FY21.
Furthermore, Agarwal shared Gamezop's expansion plan, stating, 'With approximately 7,000 distribution partners in our network, we've successfully expanded our offerings beyond gaming. Exploring content verticals is a key aspect of our expansion strategy, and we are actively pursuing geographical growth.'
Not only this, but he also mentioned that Gamezop is considering the possibility of an Initial Public Offering (IPO) due to its impressive profitability and sustained growth.
In addition to discussing the business's numbers, Avni Raja also talked with Gaurav Agarwal about working with his brother as a business partner. To that, the Gamezop co-founder said, 'It's been the most rewarding part.'

Approximately 330 employees have been asked not to report to work Ford said in a statement. This comes amid the United Auto Workers strike. 

Ford temporarily lays off 300 workers amidst ongoing UAW strike's ripple effects in the U.S auto industry

<h2>Approximately 330 employees have been asked not to report to work Ford said in a statement. This comes amid the United Auto Workers strike.&nbsp;</h2>

After General Motors (GM) cut 164 jobs, Ford, on Monday announced that over 300 workers had been temporarily laid off due to "knock-on effects" from the ongoing strike against the company and two other US automakers.
The strike against the "Big Three" car manufacturers -- Ford, Stellantis and General Motors -- began on September 15 when a previous contract expired without a replacement.
Instead of calling for all of its 146,000 members to strike at once, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union has deployed a targeted approach, adding more sites as the weeks drag on.
"Our production system is highly interconnected, which means the UAW's targeted strike strategy has knock-on effects for facilities that are not directly targeted for a work stoppage," Ford said in a statement on Monday.
"Approximately 330 employees have been asked not to report to work," the statement added, saying the total number of "strike-related layoffs" at Ford now totalled 930.
Ford said its sites impacted by Monday's announcement were in Chicago, Illinois and Lima, Ohio.
Stellantis and General Motors have also reduced staff at several sites for the same reasons.
Initially, the UAW called on some 13,000 members at the three automakers to stop work, then added another 5,600 a week later due to lack of progress in negotiations. A further 7,000 were added the following week to bring the total to some 25,000.
