Business & Markets: India’s stocks, companies and economic news

Markets move fast and headlines can change your plans. Here you’ll find clear, practical coverage of the news that matters to investors, business owners and curious readers. We publish stock reactions, earnings beats, major corporate deals, and policy updates from India and global events that affect Indian markets. Each story aims to explain what happened, why it matters, and what to watch next.

What we cover

Look for quick market updates when trading opens and closes, plain-English explainers after big corporate announcements, and deeper pieces on trends like AI adoption, banking health, inflation, and foreign investment flows. We highlight numbers that matter: revenue, profit, market cap changes, and key economic indicators such as GDP growth, inflation readings, and interest rate decisions. If a stock spikes or a CEO makes headlines, we tell you whether it’s likely a lasting shift or a short-lived market reaction.

Real examples make this useful. When Oracle’s stock jumped on an earnings beat, Oracle founder Larry Ellison briefly topped the world’s richest list as markets priced in AI-driven cloud growth. That episode shows how company results and investor expectations on trends like AI can move fortunes and stock prices in hours. We break down those stories so you can see the link between numbers, investor sentiment, and real-world outcomes.

What we prioritize

Accuracy, speed, and plain language. We won’t hide jargon behind fluff. Our reporters flag the most relevant facts and add a quick take: whether a move seems driven by fundamentals, speculation, or macro shifts. Expect charts for big stories, short Q&A for complex topics, and expert quotes when a technical point needs explaining.
