We offered deep insights into how Xiaomi still rules the Indian market despite the anti-China sentiments and why cost-saving measures by carmakers should have a long-term objective. Our rich collection of stories also included why the minimum support price for farmers is falling short of its promise, how Kia is eyeing a pole position in the compact-SUV segment, and the national-security risk from a SIM-box fraud.
