INDIA NEWS | Fri, 26 Sep 2025, 12:16AM IST In early August, Chris Woakes, who had dislocated his shoulder, walked out to bat with his arm in a sling. He was even ready to take strike in a left-handers stance because England needed just 17 more runs to win the fifth Test against India. Mercifully, Woakes did not have to face a ball. But the act of simply being out there, running between the wickets despite grimacing in pain, was unforgettable. India went on to clinch a narrow win, but Woakess courage made the cricketing world pause. Cut to the end of September: Englands Ashes squad was announced. Rob Key, the director of cricket, bluntly said that Woakes isnt in our plans at the minute at all. At 36, Woakes was nearing the twilight of his career, but the decision still stung. A similar fate now seems to be unfolding for Indias Mohammed Shami. Ajit Agarkar, Indias chairman of selectors, wasnt as blunt as Key, but Shamis absence from the squad for the two home Tests against the West Indies suggested the same reality. Shami, who has battled injuries throughout his career, is once again on the recovery trail. He turned up in the Ranji Trophy for Bengal, claiming 7 wickets against Madhya Pradesh, and also featured in the Duleep Trophy. But this wasnt enough for a recall. He played a match in the Duleep Trophy, but hes not had a lot of cricket for the past 2-3 years, Agarkar said, adding that while everyone knows Shamis ability, he will need to play some cricket before being considered again. At 34, almost the same age as Woakes, Shami has picked up 229 wickets from 64 Tests. Yet, it now looks increasingly unlikely that he will get the chance to add to that tally. What made Shami special was not a single trademark delivery no extravagant outswinger, brutal bouncer, or deadly yorker but the subtle millimetres of movement and razor-sharp precision. At his best, he was poetry in motion: light on his feet, devastating in rhythm, and relentless in accuracy. He read conditions better than most, adjusted seamlessly to the match situation, and set batsmen up with clinical patience. For any captain, Shami was priceless. If the pitch had something to offer, he would extract it. If a partnership was building, he would plug one end. He didnt bowl to impress; he bowled to take wickets, visualising dismissals before they happened. And yet, cricket is as much about transition as it is about legacy. Injuries are part of the game, and the rise of young, hungry pacers is inevitable. India now boast a strong fast-bowling bench. The only way for these youngsters to grow is by playing regularly, though sharing the new ball with Shami would have been the ultimate learning experience. For now, the selectors have moved on. Whether Shami gets another chance remains uncertain, but his contribution as one of Indias most dependable pacers is already etched in memory.India Squad for West Indies SeriesShubman Gill (c), Ravindra Jadeja (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Narayan Jagadeesan (wk), Nitish Reddy, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna1st Test: Oct 26, Ahmedabad2nd Test: Oct 1014, New Delhi

INDIA NEWS | Thu, 25 Sep 2025, 11:35PM IST Indian officials have again told the Trump administration that a significant reduction in Russian oil imports by the South Asian nation's refiners would require Washington to instead allow crude purchases from sanctioned suppliers Iran and Venezuela.A delegation visiting the US this week reiterated the request in meetings with American officials, a person with knowledge of the discussions said. Indian representatives have emphasised that simultaneously cutting off Indian refiners' supply from Russia, Iran and Venezuela - all major oil producers - could lead to a spike in global prices, people familiar with the negotiations added.Spokespeople for the commerce and oil ministries, and the US embassy in New Delhi, didn't immediately respond to requests seeking comment.New Delhi's representatives travelled to the US for talks after Washington imposed crushing tariffs on the country in punishment for its oil trade with Russia. Despite the levies, the South Asian nation has maintained its crude imports from the OPEC+ producer, albeit at a lower rate.Commerce minister Piyush Goyal said this week that the country wanted to increase its purchases of American oil and gas, adding that "our energy security goals will have a very high element of US involvement". He made the remarks in New York.Russia was forced to discount its crude after many others shunned trade with Moscow due to the war in Ukraine. Almost 90% of India's oil needs are met by imports, and cheaper Russian barrels have helped to reduce the burden on its import bill. Iranian and Venezuelan oil would also be similarly discounted.

INDIA NEWS | Thu, 25 Sep 2025, 10:56PM IST What if two companies born under the same roof, nurtured by the same parent and scaling in the same Indian market end up taking radically different IPO paths? That's the paradox of PhonePe and Flipkart.Both Flipkart and PhonePe are majority-owned by Walmart. From being a subsidiary of Flipkart - which acquired the digital payments company in 2016 - PhonePe was spun off as a separate company in December 2022. But PhonePe is sprinting toward a public listing, while Flipkart, once the poster kid of India's startup boom, is still figuring out its IPO playbook. This divergence isn't just about two separate companies, but it also reveals deeper lessons about India's capital markets, strategic positioning and the maturing tech ecosystem.India is at an inflection point. Its consumer internet giants - Paytm, Zomato, Nykaa, Policybazaar - have testedpublic markets with mixed results. Now comes the second wave: fintechs, ecommerce platforms and SaaS companies that are better capitalised, more disciplined and operating in a post-correction environment.For founders and investors, the IPO question is no longer 'if', but 'how' and 'when'. The stakes are massive: public markets not only provide liquidity but also signal legitimacy, setting benchmarks for the entire ecosystem. PhonePe's IPO readiness rests on 3 pillars: Market leadership PhonePe dominates India's UPI payments with over 45% share. Unlike Paytm, which juggles multiple business lines, PhonePe has built a razor-sharp identity around payments and financial services. Simpler story for public investors PhonePe can tell a straightforward story: growing transaction volumes, financial inclusion, and monetisation through insurance, mutual funds and lending. Investors like clean narratives. Public markets reward clarity. Regulatory tailwinds GoI has blessed UPI as the backbone of digital payments. PhonePe is not fighting regulators but it's aligned with the system. That makes it a safer bet compared to fintechs perceived as too disruptive.In short: PhonePe looks like a utility with upside. Markets love that. Flipkart, in contrast, faces headwinds: Profitability puzzle eCommerce remains a capital-intensive business. Margins are thin, and competition with Amazon and Reliance JioMart is unrelenting. Investors know this is a long game. But public markets are impatient. Complex structure Flipkart's sprawl includes fashion (Myntra), logistics (Ekart) and now even healthcare. Great for private growth, messy for public narratives. Global parent dynamics Walmart's majority stake in Flipkart creates tension. Should Flipkart IPO in India, the US, or both? Walmart wants global visibility, while Flipkart wants local resonance. This alignment delay slows decision-making.Flipkart is still a juggernaut. But unlike PhonePe, its IPO case is harder to compress into a 3-min elevator pitch. This divergence offers a powerful framework for thinking about IPO readiness: IPOs are about narrative PhonePe's path shows that clarity of narrative - not just GMV or user counts - drives market confidence. Founders should ask: can I explain my business in one sentence to a retail investor? Spin-offs create sharper value PhonePe's separation from Flipkart unlocked its ability to chart an independent IPO. Conglomerates may create synergies privately, but in public markets, investors reward focus. Timing, a strategic weapon PhonePe is capitalising on momentum in digital payments before saturation sets in. Flipkart, by waiting, risks being overtaken by changing market moods or regulatory shifts. US-India corridor matters Flipkart's global entanglements highlight a bigger theme: Indian companies must decide whether their 'centre of gravity' lies in India's capital markets or on Wall Street. That decision shapes everything from valuation multiples to governance expectations.PhonePe and Flipkart's diverging IPO strategies mirror India's broader startup ecosystem. The first generation of unicorns is no longer just chasing growth at all costs. They're wrestling with profitability, governance and market positioning. This is a healthy sign of India moving from adolescence to adulthood in tech. The capital markets will demand discipline. But they'll also reward it.For founders, investors and policymakers, 3 lessons stand out: Simplify the story Public markets punish ambiguity. Be clear about your identity and path to profitability. Design for separation Build companies so business lines can stand independently if needed. It maximises optionality. Think global, act local The IPO venue debate (India vs US) will become a recurring theme. Founders must weigh valuation premiums against domestic relevance.PhonePe and Flipkart teach us that IPOs are not just financial events but are also narrative events. They crystallise a company's story in the minds of millions of investors. If India's tech ecosystem gets this right, we won't just create a few successful IPOs but also build the muscle memory for turning unicorns into enduring public institutions.
