Business Headlines: Electric Vehicle Stocks | EP 6

 Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries is planning to recover the ₹ 23,575 Cr they paid for streaming rights to the IPL by allowing people to watch the IPL matches for free on the Jio Cinema App. Reliance is hoping to recover the money indirectly through data consumption. They have been successful in introducing something of relevance to the masses & then cashing in on it. They make life empty without it & then charge for it. The video explains the entire scenario in detail. 

 The Hindenburg Group, known for exposing companies, has released a new report alleging fraud by Jack Dorsey's Block Inc, a financial services and mobile payments platform co-owned by the Twitter co-founder. The company's Cash App, which allows users to send and receive money without a bank account, is the focus of the report. This video takes an in depth look at the various allegations. 

The Adani Group has faced a significant crisis since allegations of accounting fraud and stock price manipulation were levied against it. To rebuild investor trust, the Adani Group held a series of investor meetings in Singapore and a two-day roadshow in Hong Kong, which worked temporarily as the group's stocks jumped after the roadshow ended.

The video discusses the history of Air India, how JRD Tata founded the airline, & how the government took it over under the garb of nationalization, only to return it to Ratan Tata after struggling to run it. We also discuss the decline of Air India under government control, with overpaid and over-perked employees, inefficient management, and crippling debt. Also covered is how the Modi government capitalized on a PR victory when Air India announced the biggest order of planes ever in the world. 

 I discuss India's recent discovery of 5.9 million tonnes of lithium in Jammu and Kashmir, which gives India the third-largest reserves of lithium in the world after Chile and Australia. While this is excellent news, the video highlights that India's lack of manufacturing plants means that it cannot take advantage of this discovery yet, & it’s estimated that it will take 5 to 7 years to convert these reserves into commercial use. India needs to invest in infrastructure and technology to extract & utilize these reserves more efficiently. If India can get things right, this discovery could fuel the country's ambition for a greener future.

So, it’s less about the continuity of the business & more about profits. We take a look at this new mindset of IPO promoters & how it affects investors.
