His career moves across the world — from countries like Switzerland and Singapore to cities like London — meant his daughter had to switch nine schools in just 15 years. This is just one glimpse into the lesser-known personal side of the otherwise career-oriented Pathamadai Balachandran Balaji, who was elevated as the first Indian chief executive officer of Tata Motors-owned luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) on Monday.
However, his life is about more than just boardroom talks and business growth.

RBI waiting for post-US tariff cues
Mumbai: Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra will announce the third bi-monthly monetary policy of this fiscal on Wednesday amid expectations of pause on interest rate after three consecutive reduction totalling 100 basis points. Malhotra will announce the resolution of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) at 10 am. The six-member panel, headed by Malhotra, started the three-day deliberation on the monetary policy on Monday. Experts are of the opinion that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may go in for a status quo this time and wait for more macro data after the announcement by the US to impose 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports beginning August 7. However, a section of industry players do hope for a 25 basis points rate cut on Wednesday. Vivek Iyer, partner and financial services risk leader, Grant Thornton Bharat, opined that the RBI's MPC meeting will see no rate cut and cited reasons for it. He said the external environment continues to be too volatile and uncertain and there needs to be some more time for the monetary transmission to take effect. 'The tariff uncertainty we believe was taken into account in the earlier rate cut. Hence, we don't believe that the tariff situation should substantially weigh in on the RBI decision,' Iyer said. Praveen Sharma, CEO, REA India ( said that with the RBI having already frontloaded a 100 basis point rate cut this year, the MPC is expected to maintain the status quo in the upcoming policy announcement. 'While a lower interest rate environment is always a positive, today's homebuyers are increasingly driven by long-term confidence rather than short-term rate fluctuations. On their part, developers are sustaining momentum by offering flexible payment plans and smart incentives that ease the financial burden and enhance buyer affordability,' Sharma said. The central bank has been tasked by the government to ensure that consumer price index (CPI) based retail inflation remains at 4 per cent with a margin of 2 per cent on the either side. Based on the recommendation of the MPC, the RBI reduced the repo rate by 25 bps each in February and April, and 50 basis points in June amidst easing retail inflation.

"I don't know anything about it": Trump on U.S. imports of Russian chemicals and fertilizers
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday (August 5, 2025) stated that he had no knowledge that the United States imports Russian Chemicals and fertilizers. The rebuttal came after India claimed that U.S. continues to import from Russia uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, fertilisers, as well as chemicals. When asked by the ANI about U.S. Imports of Russian chemicals and fertilizers during a press conference at the White House, Mr. Trump said, 'I don't know anything about it. We will have to check.' ANI has reached out to the President's press team and awaits for a response. The comment came a day after the U.S. President announced that the United States would 'substantially raise' tariffs on India over its purchase of Russian oil. 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the oil purchased, selling it on the open market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the U.S.A. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!' Mr. Trump had said in a post on Truth Social on Monday (August 4, 2025). The U.S. President's statement was strongly rejected by India, with the Ministry of External Affairs calling the targeting of India 'unjustified and unreasonable.' In a detailed response, India said its imports from Russia were based on market needs and energy security, especially after Western nations diverted traditional supplies to Europe following the Ukraine conflict. 'In fact, India began importing from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the conflict. The United States at that time actively encouraged such imports by India for strengthening global energy markets stability. India's imports are meant to ensure predictable and affordable energy costs to the Indian consumer. They are a necessity compelled by global market situation. However, it is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia. Unlike our case, such trade is not even a vital national compulsion,' the statement noted. The government also pointed to continued trade between Russia and both the United States and the European Union. 'Where the United States is concerned, it continues to import from Russia uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium for its EV industry, fertilisers, as well as chemicals. In this background, the targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security,' the MEA statement said.

Meta says working to thwart WhatsApp scammers
Meta on Tuesday said it shut nearly seven million WhatsApp accounts linked to scammers in the first half of this year and is ramping up safeguards against such schemes. "Our team identified the accounts and disabled them before the criminal organizations that created them could use them," WhatsApp external affairs director Clair Deevy said. Often run by organised gangs, the scams range from bogus cryptocurrency investments to get-rich-quick pyramid schemes, WhatsApp executives said in a briefing. "There is always a catch and it should be a red flag for everyone: you have to pay upfront to get promised returns or earnings," Meta-owned WhatsApp said in a blog post. WhatsApp detected and banned more than 6.8 million accounts linked to scam centers, most of them in Southeast Asia, according to Meta. WhatsApp and Meta worked with OpenAI to disrupt a scam traced to Cambodia that used ChatGPT to generate text messages containing a link to a WhatsApp chat to hook victims, according to the tech firms. Meta on Tuesday began prompting WhatsApp users to be wary when added to unfamiliar chat groups by people they don't know. New "safety overviews" provide information about the group and tips on spotting scams, along with the option of making a quick exit. "We've all been there: someone you don't know attempting to message you, or add you to a group chat, promising low-risk investment opportunities or easy money, or saying you have an unpaid bill that's overdue," Meta said in a blog post. "The reality is, these are often scammers trying to prey on people's kindness, trust and willingness to help, or their fears that they could be in trouble if they don't send money fast."
