Softbank's biggest bet: Masayoshi Son plans trillion-dollar AI hub in Arizona. Details here

SoftBank Group's founder Masayoshi Son is seeking to team up with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to build a trillion-dollar industrial complex in Arizona for manufacturing robots and artificial intelligence. The billionaire aims to build a version of the vast manufacturing hub in China's Shenzhen that would bring back high-tech manufacturing to the US, according to sources known to Bloomberg. The park may comprise production lines for AI-powered industrial robots. Codenamed 'Project Crystal Land', the Arizona complex represents the 67-year-old SoftBank chief's most ambitious attempt in a career that's spanned numerous bet-the-house bids, thousands-fold returns and billions of dollars in losses, said Bloomberg. SoftBank officials are expecting the Taiwanese maker of Nvidia Corp's advanced AI chips to play a prominent role in the project, although the exact plan is not clear. TSMC already plans to invest $165 billion in the US and has started mass production at its first Arizona factory. It is also not clear whether TSMC would be interested, the news report suggests. SoftBank officials have been in touch with federal and state government officials to discuss possible tax breaks for companies building factories or otherwise investing in the industrial park. Son has compiled a list of SoftBank Vision Fund portfolio companies that might take part in the Arizona manufacturing hub. SoftBank-backed startups working on robotics and automation technologies, such as Agile Robots SE may set up production facilities at the industrial complex, said the news agency. The plans' progress highly depends on support from the Trump administration and state officials. While the project may require as much as $1 trillion to execute, the actual scale depends on interest from big technology companies, the news report said. While exploring the Arizona project, Softbank also plans to invest as much as $30 billion into OpenAI. It's also seeding money into the Stargate venture with OpenAI, Oracle and Abu Dhabi's MGX, seeking to put hundreds of billions of dollars into data centres and related infrastructure around the world. Those outlays come as SoftBank's cash stood at $23 billion at the end of March. The Tokyo-based company also raised around $4.8 billion this month by selling its stake in T-Mobile US. The Softbank founder's multiple investments in projects that proceed in fits and starts make it difficult to determine how committed he is to any one venture, said the news agency The billionaire is often goaded by the desire to boost SoftBank's stock price and repay retail investors who've held onto the company's shares from before the dot-com boom and bust. Many investors have waited for decades for the stock to recover, said sources known to Bloomberg. If Son's primary motivation is to clear the way for AI, it may be more cost-efficient to encourage partnerships that link manufacturing expertise with that of AI engineers and specialists in fields from medicine to robotics, and incubating smaller companies, Melissa Otto, the head of research at Visible Alpha told Bloomberg, But pouring cash into data centres may help lower the cost of developing AI applications and spur broader adoption, she said. 'He's a long-term thinker, and he takes risks,' Otto said. 'It's just too early to tell.'

Lilavati Trust Slaps Rs 1,000-Crore Defamation Suit On HDFC Bank CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan; Details Here

The Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust filed a Rs 1,000 crore defamation lawsuit and a criminal complaint against HDFC Bank CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan for alleged false statements. In an escalation of the ongoing dispute, the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust (LKMM Trust) has filed a Rs 1,000 crore civil defamation lawsuit against HDFC Bank Managing Director & CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan, accusing him of making 'malicious, false and defamatory" statements against the Trust and its permanent trustee Prashant Mehta. In an official statement, the Trust said, 'The Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust (LKMM Trust) has filed a Rs 1,000 crore civil defamation lawsuit against Mr. Sashidhar Jagdishan, Managing Director & CEO of HDFC Bank, over a series of malicious, false, and defamatory statements made against the Trust and its Permanent Trustee, Mr. Prashant Mehta." The Lilavati Hospital, one of Mumbai's best-known healthcare institutions, operates under the aegis of the LKMM Trust. 'Coordinated Smear Campaign' The Trust alleged that Jagdishan launched a 'coordinated campaign to malign its reputation and obstruct its operations as a public charitable institution." In a parallel move, the Trust has also filed a criminal complaint before the Metropolitan Magistrate of Girgaon, Maharashtra. The court has issued notices to Sashidhar Jagdishan, HDFC Bank's spokesperson, and its corporate communication head. The Trust described the legal action as a vital step forward. 'The criminal complaint and subsequent notice mark a significant step in holding the HDFC CEO accountable for what the Trust alleges is a deliberate and sustained smear campaign," it said. The Trust further clarified that the legal action is not retaliatory: 'But are in response to a sustained effort to discredit a respected charitable institution and its founding family without any supporting documentation or conclusive evidence from HDFC Bank to validate its claims." FIR and Financial Fraud Allegations Denying all allegations linking it to a company under scrutiny, the Trust said, 'The Trust and Prashant Mehta are not connected to the affairs of Splendour Gems in any manner whatsoever as fraudulently espoused by the CEO of HDFC." In response, earlier this week, HDFC Bank MD and CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan approached the Bombay High Court, seeking quashing of the FIR registered against him based on the financial fraud allegations made by the Lilavati Trust, which oversees the Mumbai-based Lilavati Hospital. The plea was mentioned before the court on Wednesday and will be heard in due course of time. The FIR stems from a magistrate court's order, directing the police to investigate the charges of alleged financial fraud. The Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust (LKMM Trust) has alleged in the complaint that of the Rs 14.42 crore misappropriated by its trustees, Rs 2.05 crore were received by Jagdishan. It also claimed that the offer of Rs 1.5 crore disguised as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds to hospital staff shows the intent to destroy evidence and obstruct justice. Despite judicial findings and multiple complaints, HDFC Bank failed to act, violating Section 166 of the Companies Act and SEBI governance mandates, the Trust alleged. The bank, however, has denied the allegations, calling it 'outrageous and preposterous".

As techies complain Rs 50 LPA not enough in Bengaluru, CA decodes what is wrong

Once considered a golden milestone, a Rs 50 lakh per annum salary in India's tech sector is no longer met with the same awe. As the cost of living in Bengaluru and other metros continues to climb, high-earning professionals are beginning to echo a new concern: 'We're earning more, but saving less.' From ballooning EMIs to luxury lifestyle expectations, a CA joined the online debate to decode the truth behind this growing sense of financial discomfort. Chartered Accountant Nitin Kaushik has weighed in with a no-nonsense take that's striking a chord online. According to him, it's not that people earning Rs 50 LPA are broke—they just have a 'budget with holes.' Kaushik believes the real issue lies in financial discipline , not earnings. He points out that most people have enough to save, but poor habits like impulsive purchases, weekend splurges, and ignoring daily micro-expenses leave them cash-strapped. The solution, he says, isn't chasing higher pay but fixing foundational habits: create a monthly budget, automate savings, and track where your money actually goes. His blunt takeaway? Discipline > High Income. Self-control, not a salary hike, is what leads to real financial freedom. — Finance_Bareek (@Finance_Bareek) Delhi-based businessman also joins the conversation Adding fuel to the conversation, Abhijit Chakraborty, a Delhi-based entrepreneur, shared his own experience of living well within his means. He questioned why so many professionals stretch themselves thin with home EMIs of Rs 2 lakh and car EMIs of Rs 50,000, all in the name of lifestyle. Despite earning Rs 30 lakh annually at one point, Chakraborty chose to drive a modest Rs 5 lakh car. Even when his income doubled, he only upgraded to a Rs 10 lakh vehicle, without taking a loan. While he acknowledged the value in investing in property, Chakraborty had little patience for unnecessary car loans and luxury spending. His message was clear: financial stress is often self-inflicted. A fat paycheck won't save you if your priorities are skewed toward keeping up appearances.
