Google spent ₹17,500 crore to lay off 12,000 employees!

Google parent Alphabet announced plans to cut 12,000 job in January 2023, biggest in its history.

google

Google incurred $2.1 billion (around ₹17,500 crore) in severance and related expenses during its 2023 layoffs, which affected over 12,000 employees. In this month alone, the company has already spent $700 million on severance charges for additional layoffs, encompassing more than 1,000 roles. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, disclosed these figures in its fourth-quarter earnings release on Tuesday.

In January 2023, Alphabet announced plans to cut 12,000 jobs, or 6 per cent, of its global workforce. This was the biggest layoff in the history of Google, but was “essential” for the company, chief executive Sundar Pichai had said earlier.

Alphabate posts double-digit revenue growth in 4th quarter

Google’s parent company reported a noteworthy return to double-digit revenue growth in the last quarter of the previous year, with a boost from video-sharing platform YouTube and its cloud computing unit.

The results, announced on Tuesday, marked Alphabet’s third consecutive quarter of increasing revenue growth, primarily driven by Google’s dominance in search and online advertising. This rebound is significant, considering the unprecedented drop in Google’s ad revenue following almost two decades of uninterrupted growth, especially during the initial stages of the pandemic.

However, while Google’s ad sales demonstrated growth, it lagged behind increases in other areas, such as cloud computing and YouTube subscriptions.

Despite the fourth-quarter results exceeding analysts’ expectations, Alphabet’s shares faced a dip of nearly 7 per cent in extended trading.

The company attributed its profit boost in the final quarter to the positive impact of artificial intelligence (AI).

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said: “Each of these is already benefiting from our AI investments and innovation.”

More job cuts ahead in Google

CEO Sundar Pichai has alerted employees to anticipate further job cuts in the upcoming months, aiming to “simplify execution”.

In a memo, Pichai said that the layoffs will concentrate on streamlining operations by “removing layers” from various departments to enhance the company’s efficiency, according to the report. He clarified, “These role eliminations are not at the scale of last year’s reductions, and will not touch every team.”

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister’s jab at Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on Nitish Kumar, “Born with golden spoon!

by Leave a Comment

“Rahul Gandhi will never be able to understand the conditions of this place because he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth,” Bihar Deputy CM Sinha said!

After Congress leader Rahul Gandhi mocked Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar for rejoining the NDA on Tuesday, deputy CM Vijay Sinha came out in defence of the CM. Sinha said that Rahul Gandhi ‘was born with a golden spoon in his mouth’ and that ‘he would never understand the pain of the public.’ “Those who spend time on the ground understand the situation,” Sinha said.

Addressing reporters in Patna, Sinha said, “Rahul Gandhi will never be able to understand the social and geographical conditions of this place because he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Those who spend time on the ground understand the situation. Dynastic families with criminal and corrupt mindsets can never understand the pain of the public.”

Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday slammed Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar for “taking a U-turn each time little pressure is exerted” by the Bharatiya Janata Party. Addressing the public in Bihar’s Purnea Rahul said,” Right now Baghel ji (former Chhattisgarh CM) told me a joke. The joke goes like this…Your chief minister took oath at Governor’s house. Some of his ministers also took oath. Celebrations were going on. Nitish Kumar decided to go back to his home. Suddenly while going back he realised he has left his shawl at the Governor’s house. He went back and met the Governor. Governor was shocked and said you came back so quick this time.”

So this is the condition of Bihar a little pressure is exerted, and he (Nitish Kumar) makes a U-turn,” Gandhi said. Taking a dig at the Congress leader Bihar deputy chief minister Samrat Chaudhary said that it is “Rahul Gandhi who is solely responsible for the current condition of Lalu Prasad Yadav.”

On Sunday, Nitish Kumar was sworn in as the chief minister of Bihar for the ninth occasion at Raj Bhawan in Patna, marking another shift in alliances as he joined the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance once again. It was for the second time in two years that Nitish Kumar switched political affiliations, marking his fifth crossover in just over a decade.

by Leave a Comment

Cyber threats and attacks are a growing concern in our digital world. Investing in individual cyber insurance is not just prudent, it’s necessary to protect your digital assets!

cyberattack

In an increasingly digital world, our reliance on the internet has grown exponentially. From managing our finances and shopping to staying connected on social media, our lives are intricately woven into the online fabric. While the benefits are immense, so too are the associated risks. Cyber threats and attacks loom large, targeting not just businesses, but individuals. The question is: Are you prepared for the unexpected? Do you have a safeguard for your digital assets? Here’s why investing in individual cyber insurance is not just a prudent choice; it’s a necessity.

Guarding against digital threats

Consider this: In the bustling streets of Mumbai, countless individuals engage in online transactions daily, managing their finances, sharing personal information, and living their lives through the web. However, the convenience of the digital age comes with a hazard – vulnerability. Cyber fraud, identity theft, malware attacks, and data breaches are lurking around the corner, waiting to disrupt our lives.

One of the recent cases that we analysed was that of a young professional Rahul living in a non-metropolitan city. What began with him receiving an innocent-looking email, turned out to be a phishing attack. Before he knew it, his hard-earned money had vanished from his bank account. The financial loss was devastating, but what hit Rahul the hardest was the emotional turmoil that followed. The feeling of violation, the stress, and the fear of subsequent attacks were overwhelming. These perils do not discriminate; they can impact anyone, regardless of age or profession. 

Fortunately, the young man had invested in an individual cyber insurance policy. It not only helped him get indemnified for the stolen funds but also offered support and counselling to help him cope with the emotional trauma.

That’s why it’s the need of the hour for you to consider purchasing a cyber insurance policy, designed to protect you from these digital threats.

Looking closely at what we gain from cyber insurance

Now, let’s dive deeper into the benefits of individual cyber insurance. It’s not just about financial protection; it’s about preserving your peace of mind. Some of its key advantages are cited here below:

Financial protection: The financial consequences of a cyber attack can be devastating. Whether it’s funds drained from your account, legal expenses, or data recovery costs, cyber insurance cushions you from these financial blows.

Identity theft recovery: Identity theft is a nightmare scenario. It can damage your financial well-being and tarnish your social image/reputation. Cyber insurance ensures you have the financial support to reclaim your identity and rebuild what’s been lost.

Cyber security

Malware and phishing protection: Malware and phishing attacks can wreak havoc on your devices and your life. Cyber insurance helps you recover from the financial setbacks that may result from these incidents.

Emotional support: Cyberattacks aren’t just about money; they can leave deep emotional scars. The feeling of violation, the fear, and the stress can be overwhelming. Many cyber insurance policies offer counselling services, helping you cope with the emotional aftermath.

Social media peace: We all enjoy the benefits of social media, but it can also be a source of trouble. Cyber insurance covers incident management in cases of reputational harm, ensuring you can navigate the digital realm without fear.

In an era where the digital and real worlds are inseparable, why take chances? Cyber insurance is not just about policies and premiums; it’s about safeguarding your digital existence. Our online safety is paramount, and individual cyber insurance is the answer. In a world that’s constantly evolving, it’s not just an option; it’s a necessity. Don’t wait for the unexpected to happen, Secure your digital life & bring peace of mind with individual cyber insurance today!

Chinese President Xi Jinping offers to strengthen China-France ties after French President inks defence deals with India!

Chinese President Xi Jinping announces plans to boost China-France ties and calls for joint efforts in promoting peace, security, prosperity, and progress!

Chinese President Xi Jinping

Days after French President Emmanuel Macron’s high-profile visit to India, Chinese President Xi Jinping has announced to boost China-France ties. Jinping has said, “China and France should jointly open up a path of peace, security, prosperity, and progress for human development”. On the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France, Chinese President Xi offered to “break new ground” to give a fillip to bilateral ties between the two countries.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said they have offered to step up French imports to the country. We will continue to unleash consumer and investment market demand, and continue to expand the import of high-quality products and services from France,” Wang Yi said.

The Chinese foreign minister hoped that France too would provide Chinese companies with a fair, just, and predictable business environment. China prioritises ties with France as Macron is pushing Europe to become a third bloc, a balancing force between the US and China.

Last week only French President Emmanuel Macron was invited as the chief guest at India’s 75th Republic Day celebrations in New Delhi on January 26.

During Macron’s high-profile visit to India, the two countries unveiled an ambitious defence roadmap besides intensifying cooperation in the strategic Indian Ocean and the Indo-Pacific region.

France ties up defence deal, sets Indian students’ target

The intensification of India-France cooperation in the Indian Ocean concerns China as it tries to make forays in India’s backyard.

Beijing kept a wary watch on Macron’s visit to India as Paris is emerging as a key defence partner to New Delhi amid efforts by the US and European Union to court India as a counterweight to counter China.

The US, India, and several other world powers have been discussing the need to ensure a free, open, and thriving Indo-Pacific in the backdrop of China’s rising military manoeuvring in the resource-rich region.

Munawar Faruqui crowned winner of Bigg Boss 17, breaks down in tears as he beats Abhishek Kumar in grand finale!

Munawar Faruqui beat Abhishek Kumar in the grand finale of Bigg Boss 17!

Bigg boss 17 winner Munawar

After three months of tasks, fights, switching allegiances, and buckets of drama, Bigg Boss 17 has finally seen one winner. A little after midnight on Monday, host Salman Khan announced the winner in the presence of the top two finalists – Abhishek Kumar and Munawar Faruqui. In the end, stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui was crowned the winner, beating Abhishek in a closely-fought final.

Both Abhishek and Munawar had been strong contenders for the title right from the beginning with Abhishek banking on his immense popularity from television while Munawar brought with himself the experience of triumphing at a similar captivity-based reality show – Lock Upp, which he won in 2022. Before exiting the Bigg Boss house, both Munawar nd Abhishek broke down in tears as they walked across the tunnel together.

Munawar Faruqui is a popular-yet-controversial stand-up comedian. He began his career as a comedian in 2020 with a video on his YouTube channel and graduated to stand-up comedy later that year. In January 2021, a stand-up show of his from Indore saw controversy after a son of BJP MLA accused him of inciting hatred and making malicious jokes about Hindu deities. Munawar was arrested under India’s hate speech laws and spent 37 days in jail before his release the following month. His arrest led to criticism and protests.

Munawar began his reality show journey with Kangana Ranaut’s Lock Upp season 1 in February 2022. Munawar ended up winning the show, further strengthening his celebrity. Munawar entered the Bigg Boss house hoping to emulate his Lock Upp success in this show as well.

Abhishek Kumar is a popular TV actor best known for playing Amrik in Udaariyaan. The show began airing on Colors in 2021 and turned Abhishek into an overnight star. The actor also made a hit on-screen jodi with Isha Malviya. The two later began to date but had a bitter break-up. He began his journey as a social media influencer, making videos on Tik Tok. But after the platform was banned in India, he shifted to making YouTube videos. Eventually, he turned to acting, finding fame with Udaariyaan.

Abhishek had initially caused friction in the house initially as his ex Isha was in the house. Their fights often made headlines. Things heated up further as Isha’s boyfriend Samarth Jurel also entered the house, leading to a physical fight between Abhishek and Samarth, following which Abhishek was briefly eliminated too but later brought back.

The other three finalists in the Bigg Boss 17 grand finale were Ankita Lokhande, Mannara Chopra, and Abhishek Mashettey.
