Trump a publié le décret le 20 janvier. < Back Cour américaine rejette l’ordre de Trump de supprimer la citoyenneté de naissance Trump a publié le décret le 20 janvier. Le janvier 20, jour de son entrée en fonction, Donald Trump a pris 42 décrets. L’un d’entre eux ordonnait aux institutions publiques de refuser la citoyenneté aux enfants nés d'immigrés sans papiers aux États-Unis ou de personnes bénéficiant d’un statut temporaire. Mercredi, la Cour d’appel du 9e circuit américain a rejeté une demande d’urgence du ministère de la Justice visant à lever le blocage du décret de Trump placé par un juge de Seattle. Les juges ont maintenu que l’ordonnance était contraire au 14e amendement constitutionnel de 1868 et à une loi qui l'a précédé. Alors que le verdict final appartient à la Cour suprême, des juges du Massachusetts, du Maryland, et du New Hampshire ont bloqué le décret. La Juge Danielle Forrest, nommée par Trump, a voté contre l’administration Trump, qui n’a pas pu prouver qu’il existait une situation d’urgence exigeant l’intervention immédiate d’un tribunal.

< Back Ola shutting down int’l business from April 12 10 Apr 2024 It is pulling out of the UK, Australia, and New Zealand markets and focusing on strengthening its India business with an IPO. Ride-hailing giant Ola Cabs is pulling out of all international markets for three reasons. First, the rising competition from Uber and emerging startups in these markets pushed Ola to reevaluate its strategies. Second, the growing governmental push on electric vehicles (EVs) in these nations meant converting its entire fleet to EVs, which demands significant investment. Third, it wanted to focus on the burgeoning Indian market, especially the EV segment. This move can save Ola USD 15 million yearly. In FY2023, Ola incurred GBP4.8 million worth of losses in the UK. Ola suffered major leadership exits. In 2018, it hired the former eBay Country head, Simon Smith, to lead the Australian market and the former COO of Google Europe, Ben Legg, to head the UK operations. Both quit in around two years. Chandra Nath was brought in from Silicon Valley to head global operations. He left in less than a year. Previous Next

< Back Google launches Rich Communication Services messaging for Indian enterprises 14 Feb 2024 Google has partnered with Vodafone Idea to offer RCS messaging. It will cost up to 75% less than WhatsApp Business but twice the traditional SMS. Competing with WhatsApp Business, Google partnered with Vodafone Idea to launch a Rich Communication Services (RCS) messaging system in India. RCS is an advanced messaging protocol that enhances the features of an SMS and MMS. GSM Association, the non-profit organization representing global mobile network operators, launched it in 2008. RCS offers WhatsApp-like features, including media sharing, group chats, end-to-end encryption, and read receipts. It has no character limit, displays real-time typing indicators to know when someone is typing, and works on mobile and Wi-Fi networks. It is incompatible with the traditional feature phones used by 300 million Indians. Apple will launch its RCS service via a software update by this year's end. Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio plan to launch the service soon. Telcom companies have long sought regulatory intervention against WhatsApp, citing the risk of fraud, cybersecurity, and revenue loss for the industry and national exchequer worth ₹3,000 crore.

Can you share some key learnings that Sales has taught you that changed your outlook in personal life? If you are good at sales one day, you would want to be the best as that’s what sales teaches you – to think on your feet, never rest. Targets and incentives keep me excited. Sales taught me perseverance and planning and that if you don’t have a sold pipeline, it will be harder to convert targets. How do you think Sales has changed in the post-pandemic era? The pandemic has made sales more relationship-driven. We all saw a time when the transanctional relationships were gone from our lives, and what prevailed was sales that were need-based, customer-centric and after-sales customer service driven.

< Back Supreme Court dismissed PIL against E20 petrol 1 Sept 2025 The petitioner cited a 2021 NITI Aayog report that raised concerns about older vehicles being non-compliant with E20. Advocate Akshay Malhotra had filed a petition with the Supreme Court citing concerns about ethanol-based petrol E20. He sought an option of ethanol-free petrol for vehicles manufactured before April 2023. Vehicles made after April 2023 are compliant with E20 petrol. The matter was presented before the bench headed by the Chief Justice BR Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran, who dismissed the petition. Attorney General of India R. Venkataramani called the petitioner a ‘name lender’ and pointed out the huge lobby behind the petition. He highlighted how the E20 fuel policy benefits sugarcane farmers and helps save foreign exchange. E20 petrol policy sparked concerns about the expected 6% reduction in fuel efficiency. The Road Transport and Petroleum Ministries have dismissed the rumours. The Petroleum Ministry referred to a NITI Aayog study on Ethanol, citing that E20 promises better acceleration and ride quality. Check out my new book, THE BLACK FLAMES , on Amazon Kindle.

< Back Amazon’s healthcare plan for India 24 Jul 2025 The e-commerce giant launched Amazon Pharmacy in 2020, teleconsultation in 2024, and diagnostics in 2025.

It offers home sample collection within 60 minutes and test results within 6 hours.

Amazon intends to enrich customer data to create a personalised wellness ecosystem in India, and healthcare retail is an integral part of the strategy. It also offers health foods and supplements via FreshtoHome and insurance products via Amazon Pay. Never miss another post from SalestorrsNews150.

< Back Jio, Airtel and Vi increase mobile tariffs from this week 1 Jul 2024 Jio and Airtel announced tariff hikes effective from July 3rd, while Vi will raise them from July 4th to improve their Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). After two and a half years, Jio announced a 12-25% increase in all prepaid and postpaid mobile tariff plans from July 3rd. There will be no change in data allowance, calling minutes, or complementary OTT subscription. Airtel will raise its tariff by 11-21% and Vi by 11-24% on all prepaid and postpaid plans. Prepaid users can recharge before July 3rd to save money, although postpaid users will see hikes in their subsequent billing cycles. The move comes after much lobbying and efforts by telecom players to raise tariffs to stay afloat. Jio and Airtel need to improve their returns after they paid hefty amounts for 5G bandwidth in 2022, while Vi needs to fuel its ₹23,000 crore equity fundraising efforts and boost a bleeding balance sheet. Airtel and Jio are making profits, while Vi is not. The tariff hikes are expected to improve the ARPU by 13-17% for these telecoms. Previous Next

The European Central Bank is in the preparation phase for the Digital Euro, which will permit offline transactions and real-time settlements.
