, a major supplier to the United States, is likely to come under increasing pressure amid heightened regulatory scrutiny. In FY24, the US accounted for $8.7 billion of India's total pharma exports of $27.9 billion, according to the Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council of India.
More than 45% of the generic drugs used in the US are manufactured in India, underscoring the country's crucial role in the American healthcare system, according to an ET report.
Additionally, Indian firms supply approximately 15% of the biosimilars consumed in the US. Leading companies such as Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy's, Aurobindo Pharma, Zydus Lifesciences, and Gland Pharma generate up to half of their revenues from the US market, making them particularly sensitive to regulatory developments.

Tech YouTuber slams Flipkart after getting used MacBook Pro in sealed box: ‘This isn't a mistake, it's negligence'
Devanshu Dhandhal, a tech YouTuber, recently shared how he had an unpleasant experience with Flipkart, where he was scammed by a seller not once but twice. Revealing details of the incident, Dhandhal called out the seller, who has allegedly been scamming customers since 2023. Dhandhal said it all began when he ordered a MacBook Pro worth Rs 2.6 lakh from Flipkart. However, he reportedly received an old and used model in a sealed Apple box. He requested a replacement and unboxed the laptop at the EKart office, and was shocked to receive an old MacBook again, he said. 'I immediately requested a replacement, and this time I unboxed the product at the EKart office under CCTV, and again the MacBook had smudges and marks so basically not new (second unboxing video attached below). 2 times. 2 wrong deliveries,' he wrote on X. Dhandhal said he reached out to customer support, which initiated a return and offered him compensation of Rs 13,000 and Rs 18,000 when he rejected the offer. 'After a discussion with customer care they started a return and then after 2 days they called me and offered me a compensation of 13K which I rejected, then 18K I rejected again and finally they offered me 10% which I rejected again,' he shared. The YouTuber claimed that Flipkart rejected the return after the negotiation. 'And after all this negotiation they rejected the return. So I called them again and I asked for 10% compensation as it was a lot of hassle by talking to them. And moreover, I was able to clean the marks but the laptop was not new in the first place,' Dhandhal said. He also claimed that the seller has been scamming customers for years. 'Users on LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, and X have posted about the same seller since 2023,' he wrote. See the post here: I just got scammed on @Flipkart — not once, but TWICE. So I ordered a ₹2.6 lakh MacBook Pro and got a used, old model inside a sealed Apple box. We filmed the entire open box delivery, you can see that in first attached video. I immediately requested a replacement, and this… — Devanshu Dhandhal (@mrtechpedia) June 8, 2025 Tagging Flipkart, Dhandhal said, '…this isn't a mistake, it's negligence. You are enabling fraud through your platform.' Soon after the post came to light, Flipkart issued an apology and promised to look into the matter. 'We'd never want you to get anything but what you ordered and are extremely sorry about this instance. We want to sort this out for you. Please help us with your order details securely, so we can look into this. Awaiting your response,' the company responded.

7 unconventional ways to build a career when you don't know what you want yet
In an era where professional lives are increasingly non-linear and success no longer follows a single template, the traditional question—"What do you want to be?"—can feel more limiting than helpful. For students and early-career professionals who don't have a fixed goal in mind, the pressure to 'figure it all out' can be stifling. But not knowing your destination doesn't mean you have to stand still. In fact, some of the most rewarding careers begin not with certainty, but with experimentation. Here are seven unconventional yet effective ways to gain direction, credibility, and confidence—while the bigger picture continues to evolve. Start a Public Project Rather than waiting to secure the ideal job or internship, consider launching a public project of your own—something tangible and visible that reflects your interests and initiative. This could take the form of a blog on productivity, a podcast featuring conversations with people you admire, a YouTube series delving into your city's startup culture, or even a carefully curated Instagram page focused on a niche topic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Such projects help you develop a range of valuable, transferable skills—like writing, editing, outreach, and branding. They also create a digital footprint that potential employers or mentors can easily access, offering a clear demonstration of your abilities and interests. Most importantly, public projects don't require you to have your career path fully figured out. What they do require is the willingness to act, explore, and build something authentic on your own terms. Take a 'Portfolio Gap' Instead of a Traditional Gap Year Many take a gap year to "figure things out," but it often becomes a period of drift unless it's structured. Instead, treat it like a portfolio year—a time to work on short-term freelance gigs, open-source contributions, creative writing, or research. Document these projects as you go. Over time, this collection becomes a living, breathing testament to your curiosity and growth. It demonstrates productivity and adaptability—qualities employers are increasingly prioritizing over fixed qualifications. Shadow, Don't Just Intern Internships are valuable, but they're not always easy to land—especially when you're uncertain of your path. An often overlooked alternative is job shadowing. Spend a few days or weeks observing a professional in a field you're curious about. This requires less bureaucracy, less time, and often reveals more than a structured internship. Through shadowing, you gain direct exposure to the day-to-day reality of a profession—something that job descriptions and brochures rarely capture accurately. Observing real work environments helps you understand not just the core responsibilities, but also the soft skills required, the team dynamics, and the hidden pressures professionals face in that role. Try Reverse Mentorship Traditional mentorship assumes that the younger professional learns from the older one. But in today's digital-first world, reverse mentorship—where you share your skills (social media, no-code tools, content creation) with an experienced professional in exchange for industry insights—can be equally valuable. This kind of exchange: Builds genuine, two-way relationships Gives you real-world context for your skills Opens doors to professional networks you wouldn't access through job boards It's an organic and low-pressure way to explore industries while adding value in return. Solve a Real-World Problem One of the best ways to figure out your interests is by applying your skills to solve something real. Look around your community, college, or online circles. Is there a local NGO that needs help organizing data? A family business struggling with its website? A student group that could use better branding? These experiences test your ability to manage ambiguity and help build confidence. Even if the work is unpaid or short-term, the learning—and future recommendation—can be invaluable. Join a Startup Working in a startup environment forces you to wear multiple hats. You might find yourself writing a copy in the morning and solving customer problems in the afternoon. For someone still exploring their career fit, this kind of exposure can fast-track self-awareness. Startups tend to value: Curiosity over credentials Execution over expertise Energy over experience Alternatively, if you spot a problem worth solving, gather a small team and start something—however small. A side hustle can be the clearest mirror to your working style and interests. Design Your Own Learning Path You don't need a university syllabus to learn. Pick a topic you're drawn to—UX design, behavioral economics, climate finance—and build a self-study roadmap using free or low-cost resources (MOOCs, YouTube lectures, curated reading lists). Set weekly goals. Track your progress. Share insights publicly through blogs, LinkedIn posts, or videos. This approach helps you build credibility in a niche before formally entering it and show initiative to future employers. Over time, you'll gain both a skill set and a voice—two things employers care deeply about. In a world shaped by rapid change and evolving industries, not knowing what you want yet isn't a weakness—it's a transitional state with its own possibilities. Careers today are not ladders but lattices; what matters most is momentum, visibility, and growth. By experimenting, creating, and connecting, you can build a meaningful foundation—one that allows your career to take shape not through rigid planning, but through informed evolution.
