Newly-opened top Indian restaurant eyes further expansion in York
A newly-launched top Indian restaurant says it is looking at opening another new venue in York.
Jodhpur opened in Station Parade, Harrogate, on Sunday, and is already earning five-star reviews online for its authentic food.
This follows from a similarly highly-rated Jodhpur, which opened in Kirkstall Road, Leeds in December 2023.
As the Press reported, the restaurants are the brainchild of chefs and friends Jatinder Singh, 35, and Satender Singh, 40, who for 12 years had worked together in venues in Leeds and London.

A staff member told the Press the pair were driven by a passion to share authentic Indian cuisine with traditional recipes from across the Indian subcontinent.
The Leeds location was 'well received', with its success encouraging them to bring the same culinary experience to Harrogate.

The staff member said: 'We were drawn to Harrogate for its charm, community spirit, and vibrant food scene. After spending time here, we felt it was the perfect location to share our love of genuine Indian food. We've secured a wonderful spot in the town centre, making it easy for both locals and visitors to discover us.'
He continued: 'We're not a typical "curry house"—a term that often implies anglicised dishes made to order. Our kitchen follows time-honoured Indian recipes that have been passed down through generations. We aim to offer a full cultural experience, not just a meal.
'Each dish is prepared with care, using traditional methods that reflect the diversity of Indian cuisine—from the rich flavours of the North to the spices of the South. Highlights on our menu include our slow-cooked lamb rogan josh, street-style chaats, and regional thalis that offer a true taste of India.'
And more restaurants look to be on the menu, including in York.

The staff member continued: 'We're already exploring opportunities to expand further—and York is certainly on our radar. We've had such warm feedback from the community and would love to bring our concept there in the near future.'
He added: 'Our mission is to bring people together over real Indian food, served with heart. We're not just opening restaurants—we're building a family of customers who appreciate authenticity and hospitality. We invite the people of Harrogate and beyond to come and experience something truly special.'
Jodhpur, which also offers take-outs, is open on weekdays from 5pm, except Tuesdays, and on weekends from 1pm.

Tesla's $56K India Gamble: Will the Model Y Sell in a Price-Sensitive Market?
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is finally hitting the accelerator in India. After years of back-and-forth, the EV giant is opening its first showroom in Mumbai this July, followed by another in New Delhi. It's starting with the Model Yshipped straight from its Shanghai plantmarking the company's first official sales push into the world's third-largest car market. Internal documents and people familiar with the matter confirm that Tesla has also brought in Supercharger hardware, car accessories, and parts from the US, China, and the Netherlandslaying the groundwork for a broader rollout. This move follows Elon Musk's February meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and could signal the start of a long-term India strategy. But it won't be an easy ride. Each Model Y imported was declared at just under $32,000, but racked up over $25,000 in import duties due to India's 70% tariff on fully-built EVs. Final sticker price? North of $56,000 before tax and insurancenearly 50% more than the U.S. price post-incentives. For a market where EVs still make up just 5% of new car sales and luxury vehicles are under 2%, Tesla will need more than brand power to spark volume. Still, the company is quietly building momentum. It's securing warehouse space in Karnataka and Gurugram, boosting hiring across charging, retail, and policy teams, and sending execs from abroad to oversee showroom setup in luxury districts. The early signs point to a premium positioning play aimed at affluent Indian buyers. Whether that strategy holdsor pivotswill depend on how fast Tesla can shift from imports to local production. For now, it's a high-stakes, high-margin experiment in one of the world's fastest-growing auto markets. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

United Spirits to buy control of India's Nao Spirits
Diageo-controlled United Spirits is acquiring a 'majority controlling stake' in Indian distiller Nao Spirits. The deal, valued at around Rs1.3bn ($15.2m), will see United Spirits initially own 97.07% of New Delhi-based Nao Spirits. United Spirits initially acquired a 22.5% stake in the maker of Hapusa and Greater Than gin three years ago. The following year, United Spirits, in which Diageo owns a majority stake, bought a further 7.5%. In a stock exchange filing yesterday (19 June), United Spirits said it will purchase 37,683 shares from investors in Nao Spirits in two tranches for around Rs538m. The company will also invest approximately Rs560m through a fresh subscription of 31,820 equity shares and 27,577 compulsorily convertible preference shares (CCPS). Upon the completion of the first tranche and the new share issuance, United Spirits will hold the 97.07% stake. A second tranche, to be finalised later, will increase United Spirits' ownership to 100%. The United Spirits board has also approved an additional investment of up to Rs200m in Nao Spirits through equity or CCPS to support its working capital and business needs. Praveen Someshwar, the MD and CEO of United Spirits, who took on the role in January and is a former PepsiCo executive, called the Nao Spirits deal a 'pivotal step in exploring future growth opportunities in Indian craft spirits'. Nao Spirits was launched in 2016 by Anand Virmani and is one of India's emerging 'craft' gin companies. Its Greater Than and Hapusa gin brands are made with Indian spices and botanicals. Virmani said the investment will help Nao Spirits 'scale further with the support of Diageo India's seasoned leadership, distribution network and production capabilities'. Bengaluru-based United Spirits has 35 manufacturing facilities across the country. It produces, markets and distributes brands including Johnnie Walker, Black Dog, Royal Challenge, McDowell's No1, and Smirnoff. In April, United Spirits took a 15% stake in Inspired Hospitality, an Indian producer that owns agave-spirit brand Pistola, for Rs56m.

Transforming Education in India for a $30 Trillion Economy
India aims to become a $30 trillion economy by 2047 through the Viksit Bharat initiative. As part of this national vision, leaders across sectors are voicing their perspectives. According to Ajay Gupta, Founder of Bachpan Play Schools and Academic Heights Public Schools, India must position its education system as a global benchmark by 2047. A Vision Beyond Borders The Urgency to Rethink India's Education System Leading edupreneur Ajay Gupta, in his Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, called for a rethinking of India's school education system. He asserted, 'To become a global powerhouse, India must not only adopt global standards but also set more of them for others to adopt.' While efforts have long aimed at imparting world-class education, Mr. Gupta emphasizes that we should aim so high that the term 'world-class education' naturally comes to be associated with India's education system on the world stage. What Is Vision 2047? The year 2047 will mark India's 100th Year of Independence. 'Viksit Bharat @2047', as it is officially named, is a national mission to make India a developed country through collective action at individual, sectoral, and national levels. The Viksit Bharat @2047 vision is also quite significant globally. It shapes the future of the country through inclusive economic growth, good governance, youth empowerment, social development, and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Viksit Bharat @2047 vision focuses on global competence, inclusion, and innovation via skill development and tech-driven initiatives. Education is central, with the youth as both drivers and primary beneficiaries of change. Key Pillars of Gupta's Vision for Indian Education Educational leader Ajay Gupta also co-founded Rishihood University as India's first university focused on social impact. Creating an enduring impact from PG (Play Group) to PG (Post Graduate), he envisions India as a global role model in education and innovation. Ajay Gupta advocates bridging local values with global standards. His institutions, which consist of 1200+ Bachpan Play Schools, 120+ Academic Heights Public Schools (AHPS), and Rishihood University, work towards cultivating a deep appreciation for Indian values rooted in Panchakosha Shiksha, while preparing students for the future. Ajay Gupta's vision for Indian education is shaped by his role as an educationist and a proud Indian. As India's value-driven models like mindfulness gain global traction, he urges the country to change from a consumer to a major contributor on the world stage in 2047. Transforming the Indian Education Landscape India's education landscape needs an overhaul to attain the national vision of becoming a developed country. From preschool to higher education, a shift towards skill-based and value-based learning is now becoming increasingly imperative. Technology, curriculum, and infrastructure play a crucial role in shaping education. With AI rapidly integrating into daily life and work, the education system has to evolve at the same pace to stay relevant and future-ready. Empowering educators and school leaders is also vital to transforming the education system. Technology can become a powerful enabler in the hands of educators and school leaders under the right circumstances. Ajay Gupta's Vision 2047 and legacy in the Viksit Bharat context cannot be sidelined. Consistent effort and multi-sectoral collaboration towards education that inspires the world remain key points.
