For years, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) – the crown jewel of the Tata Group – built its fortune servicing global giants. But quietly and steadily, its fortunes within the family have been rising too. Cyrus Mistry's tenure as the head of Tata Sons may have come to a contentious end, but a move he put in motion now yields close to USD1 billion of annual revenue.

Future of work: Human potential in the age of AI

When Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, warned in 2023 that AI could 'cause significant harm to the world,' it wasn't just a philosophical musing—it was a call for deep introspection. Almost overnight, terms like 'AI job displacement' and 'future-proof careers' dominated search trends and seminar halls. But what lies beneath this growing concern is a deeper human question: What can we do that machines can't? As you step out today—whether as a graduate, a professional, or a citizen—ask not what AI can do, but what you must become. We don't need to compete with machines. We need to complete what machines cannot. (Getty Images/iStockphoto) The answer may lie not in the circuits of AI but in the soul of humanity. As we find ourselves surrounded by intelligent algorithms and automation tools, we must ask not only 'Will AI take our jobs?' but also 'What makes us irreplaceable?' From meditation hubs in IITs to mindfulness circles in business schools, there's a quiet but powerful shift happening. It's the realisation that intuition, inner clarity, and human connection are the true future skills—skills no machine can replicate. Steve Jobs once said, 'Intuition is more powerful than intellect.' That wasn't a rejection of intelligence but a call to nurture the unique human faculty that sees beyond logic, that feels truth before it is proven. In today's saturated, hyper-analytical world, the ability to listen to our inner compass might just be our most vital edge. But intuition is not magic. It is a discipline. We develop it through reflection, where we pause to examine the outcomes of our decisions. We refine it by learning from mistakes, recognising that every error is a teacher. We cultivate it by being mindful of biases—our emotional baggage, assumptions, and cultural patterns. And when in doubt, we must use logic as a safeguard—because wisdom lies not in choosing intuition over intellect, but in balancing the two. Inner balance, then, is no longer a luxury; it is the career armour of the 21st century. Companies are now recommending meditation and mindfulness not just for wellness, but to maintain clarity in chaos. This quiet clarity, this ability to stay centered when the world spins fast, will be the defining skill of tomorrow's leaders. But this balance is not just for career survival. It's for life. In our rush to stay ahead, let's not forget to minimise our mistakes—in thought, word, or deed. Each mistake is a karmic debt, and while technology may forgive errors in code, the human soul is governed by subtler rules. The path to a meaningful life starts with responsibility: to ourselves, our families, and our society. Take your family, for instance. In an era where AI may take over tasks, it will never replace relationships. Be loyal, honest, and generous with your loved ones—especially the elders and parents who shaped you. As shared households become common again, let's not forget the wisdom of care, compassion, and coexistence. The same responsibility extends to your choices in partnership. Loyalty, honesty, and caring must be the cornerstone of your personal life—because shared success is always more sustainable than solo ambition. Then there is your relationship with money. The noise of consumerism may push you to overspend, overcommit, and show off—but remember, financial discipline is spiritual discipline. Take care of your money, however little or much it may be. Spend wisely. Save with purpose. Let your earnings reflect your values, not your vanity. And above all, do not take your health for granted. No machine can fix a broken body the way a mindful life can prevent one. Physical vitality and emotional resilience are your greatest capital in the long game of life. The real revolution we face is not technological—it is human. In a world obsessed with building smarter machines, let us remember to become better humans. This includes acknowledging our errors—whether in boardrooms, relationships, or public systems. As investigations into past failures—be it in aviation or administration—show us, the problem is often not technology, but human misjudgment. If we are to avoid repeating such tragedies, we must ask: Are we learning from our mistakes? Are we becoming wiser, not just more efficient? The movie Her, where a man falls in love with an AI voice, was not science fiction—it was a forecast. It showed us a world where loneliness grows even as connectivity peaks. As we integrate AI into every aspect of our lives, let us not outsource our humanity. The machines will always be better at speed, storage, and scalability. But we are better at meaning, morality, and mindfulness. Our intuition, our empathy, our ability to forgive, to grow, to love—these are the true frontiers of the human spirit. So as you step out today—whether as a graduate, a professional, or a citizen—ask not what AI can do, but what you must become. We don't need to compete with machines. We need to complete what machines cannot. Let this be your lifelong compass: Sharpen your intuition. Cultivate inner balance. Minimise karmic debt. Honour your relationships. Guard your finances. Treasure your health. And above all, keep discovering your own infinite potential. That is how we thrive—not in spite of AI, but because we chose to remain fully human in its presence.

Tata Motors expects to achieve 30% EV penetration ahead of target: Chandra

Tata Motors is hoping to beat its target year of 2030 and have 30 per cent of its portfolio comprising electric vehicles (EVs), according to Chairman N Chandrasekaran, who was speaking at the company's last annual general meeting (AGM) ahead if its demerger. EVs constitute 15 per cent of the company's sales. As it eyes growth in EVs, the company is keeping a close watch on shortages in rare-earth magnets (critical EV components) and also exploring alternative sourcing options. 'We are not facing any issues. We are able to source the magnets that we need and we also have plans for having the right level of inventory,' Chandrasekaran said. He added that the company was working with the government and also sourcing from alternative sources. 'As of now this is not a concern, but this is something that we are watching carefully,' Chandrasekaran said. Earlier this week R C Bhargava, chairman, Maruti Suzuki India, had said the company had stocks of rare-earth magnets imported from China and those would last until the end of July. It will prepare a 'contingency plan', including exploring alternatives if the issue remains unresolved by then. Analysts, however, have pointed out that China's export restrictions on rare-earth magnets could delay the penetration of EVs in India. India Ratings and Research said on Friday it believed that while the immediate impact on auto sales in FY26 was expected to be limited, given the low level of EV penetration in the country, prolonged constraints could disrupt the overall automotive production, including internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Rare-earth magnets are used in a major way for motors and batteries, two of which are the core components of an EV. A prolonged restriction on the import of these could hinder EV penetration in the country, the analysts said. 'In contrast, the amount of rare-earth magnets used in ICE components is fairly little and given their alternatives available, the overall production of ICE vehicles is unlikely to be material,' said Shruti Saboo, director, India Ratings. Chandrasekaran said the net-zero (emission) goal for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) was 2039, for passenger vehicles (PV) 2043 and for commercial vehicles (CV) 2045. However, on hydrogen-powered vehicles, Chandrasekaran said market growth in the segment would happen in the near-term. The company has 12 hydrogen vehicles (CVs) running and will also continue to invest in the technology. The cost of operation and cost of production are way too high for hydrogen vehicles to gain market traction, he said. As for the impact of tariffs, the chairman said they were a major issue, primarily for JLR. 'From 2.5 per cent the tariffs would have gone up to 27.5 per cent, but with the United Kingdom-United States trade deal, they would not drop to 10 per cent. The impact of this is around 1.6 billion pounds. But JLR has taken a lot of steps to reduce the impact of this to around 600 million pounds,' Chandrasekaran said. The Tata Motors demerger is expected to happen in the October-December quarter. The passenger-vehicle company will list first, and the commercial-vehicle company will do so a couple of months later. PB Balaji, group chief financial officer, said: 'The intention is to carry the legacy of the automotive group, the continuity of purpose, strength of culture and clarity of execution.' The free cash flows, profitability and return on capital employed (RoCE) will continue after the demerger of the firm. Looking ahead, Balaji said he expected the free cash flow in the commercial-vehicle business to be 7-9 per cent of revenue (post tax) by 2027.

Why Cognizant paid less than a rupee for 21.31 acres of land in Andhra Pradesh's Visakhapatnam

Global IT services giant Cognizant Technology Solutions will establish a major IT campus in Visakhapatnam after securing 21.31 acres of land from the Andhra Pradesh government for just 99 paise. The company plans to invest Rs 1,582 crore in the project, which is expected to generate 8,000 jobs over the next eight years. The land allocation at Kapulauppada under the Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) reflects the state's aggressive push to transform the coastal city into a technology hub. According to sources cited by MoneyControl, Cognizant has set March 2029 as the target date for commencing commercial operations from the facility. Andhra's strategic move to build IT ecosystem in the state The development aligns with Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's vision of positioning Visakhapatnam as Andhra Pradesh's economic capital. The nominal land price underscores the state government's commitment to attracting major technology investments to the region. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Furosemide, Use This Household Item To Help Drain Edema Fluid WellnessGuide Learn more Undo Earlier this year, Andhra Pradesh's IT and Human Resources Minister Nara Lokesh met with Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S at the World Economic Forum in Davos, urging the company to expand into tier-2 cities like Visakhapatnam. Lokesh has previously described his vision for the city, stating that "if Goa were to marry Bangalore and have a child, that could be Visakhapatnam." Following TCS blueprint for tech hub bevelopment This land deal follows a similar arrangement made in April 2025, when the state government allotted 21 acres to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) for the same nominal amount of 99 paise. The pattern demonstrates Andhra Pradesh's systematic approach to building a technology corridor in Visakhapatnam. The Teaneck, New Jersey-based Cognizant's investment represents a significant boost to the region's employment landscape. With Visakhapatnam located approximately 600 kilometers from Hyderabad and 800 kilometers from Chennai, two of India's major software hubs alongside Bengaluru, the city is positioned to become a strategic alternative for IT operations. The campus development is expected to contribute substantially to the local economy while providing skilled employment opportunities in the region. AI Masterclass for Students.
