Google's Major Competitive Challenges

Google may have dethroned Apple as the most valuable company by dint of its financial reporting discipline, but I’d say they should keep the champagne on ice. Industry shifts like transition from web to mobile computing are always fraught with risk I think the jury is still out on whether Google is the company that holds all the aces for the era of mobile computing. Android may have been a defensive masterstroke by Google, but having a safeguard against irrelevance is quite different from having a weapon of dominance.

Are Internet Curfews By The Government The Right Way To Contain Violence

Governments, like bomb squads, must handle issues on social media with utmost care, not only to diffuse conflicts but also to encourage discourses on inclusive actions. We live in an ultra-connected world today, where a multitude of media—including the internet—and a host of channels crisscross, complement and supplement each other. If one of the streams is cut, the flow of communication seeps through parallel channels and reaches the audience it is intended for. Nevertheless, governments seem to think otherwise.

Did The Finance Minister Deliver A 'Jai Kisan' Budget In Keeping With India's Pyramidical Structure

Good that with a strong Budgetary focus on farmers and rural welfare, the government may have initiated a much needed course correction. After all, growth must be inclusive in order to be sustainable. An eye also on the state elections maybe, as analysts point out, but full marks to Arun Jaitley nevertheless for listening to the average farmer's “mann ki baat.”
