IIM-Mum proposes satellite campus with UG & PhD courses
The proposal, sent by IIM-Mumbai director Manoj Tiwari, said the satellite campus can offer undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD courses in economics, accounting and finance, technology and data science, with law and regulation, where each discipline can have a synergetic relationship with one or more. The campus can collaborate with other leading institutions and financial organisations in the country and abroad, it added.
The proposal listed BS and MS courses, adding that offering UG, PG and PhD courses will allow the institute to participate in global academic rankings and research networks. In line with NEP 2020, the document emphasised the need for flexible, multidisciplinary education and strong research ecosystems.
The proposal said a world-class institute with the IIM tag could draw top-tier academics, regulators, investors and entrepreneurs.

Calling the proposal unique, Tiwari said it aims to change the landscape of technology-driven management education in the domain of finance and economics.
"This will also give an opportunity to govt to build an institute to offer courses in emerging fields of fintech. Additionally, with proximity to national regulatory bodies, training manpower will be seamless. The institute will help create futuristic manpower in technology advances and meet the growing requirement of the country," he said.
The document also suggested a tentative budget for the project.
On the Viksit Maharashtra 2047 vision document, Shailendra Deolankar, director, higher education, said the higher education sector is very comprehensive and dynamic and input should, therefore, not be confined to a few state experts. "The department is, therefore, seeking recommendations from state institutions, central institutions, all stakeholders, parents and even the public."

No IIT degree. Techie shares how he went from Rs 4.4 lakh CTC to Rs 1 crore CTC in viral post
The First Job and Early Hustle (2015–2016) Entering Management and Shifting Gears (2017–2019) Moving Through Frustration to Strategic Changes (2020–2022) Taking a Leap with Remote Work (2023) The Game-Changer Offer (Mid-2025) Humility Amid Success Without the backing of an elite IIT degree , this 32-year-old engineer has climbed his way into the crore-earning bracket—a feat that many dream of but few achieve. He recently shared his professional journey on the Indian Flex subreddit, detailing a decade-long ride from earning Rs 4.4 lakh annually to securing a staggering Rs 1.03 crore compensation package. His story is a testament to perseverance, calculated risks, and an unwavering focus on out of a second-tier engineering college with a degree in Electronics and Communication, he landed a campus placement in 2015 as a software developer with a Rs 4.8 lakh annual salary, of which Rs 4.4 lakh was fixed. Coming from a lower-middle-class household, this pay felt like a major win. Living in a shared two-bedroom apartment with five others in Bengaluru, he managed to enjoy his early working years while even setting aside some savings. A modest salary hike the following year brought his earnings up to Rs 5.8 lakh per 2017, he got accepted into a top-tier IIM , marking a pivotal moment. His MBA experience included a high-paying international internship in 2018. By 2019, he graduated and secured a pre-placement offer as a Program Manager in India with an annual compensation of Rs 17 lakh. Despite earlier promises of an international role, organizational changes meant he had to settle for a domestic posting—a minor setback that didn't deter his next pay revision in 2020 increased his package to Rs 18.5 lakh, though it didn't meet his expectations. In 2021, he joined a major e-commerce firm at Rs 22 lakh per year, along with Rs 7 lakh in stock options. The following year, his salary rose to Rs 24 lakh, and he received a small promotion with a minimal hike, prompting him to begin exploring new opportunities year 2023 marked another major shift—he joined a remote SaaS company at Rs 31 lakh fixed pay with an additional Rs 12 lakh as a joining bonus. Although he accepted a lower title, the remote setup and higher income compensated for it. In 2024, a promotion followed, raising his pay to Rs 41 lakh. Another hike in 2025 brought his total to Rs 47 lakh, but he remained dissatisfied with the changed recently when he received a job offer as Principal Program Manager , reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer, with a compensation package of Rs 1.03 crore—Rs 70 lakh fixed, Rs 8 lakh variable, and Rs 25 lakh in ESOPs. His current employer attempted to counter with an Rs 65 lakh offer, but he declined, choosing the new opportunity for its potential to generate long-term wealth and career growth Despite his achievements, he remains grounded. He still rides the bike he bought in 2015, owns no property, and lives on a single income while his wife builds her own design agency. With dreams of bigger purchases and starting a family on the horizon, he knows the journey isn't over yet—it's just getting started.

What's it like to deal with brutal US tariffs? Ask Malaysia
It's become a familiar strategy in Southeast Asia. Companies from China , coveting the American market but blocked by tariffs, do an end run. They pour into a country, opening factories and filling supply chains. They invest billions of dollars and create jobs and business opportunities. The local economy prospers. President Donald Trump wants to stop that trade. On Friday he unveiled a new layer of tariffs -- set at a global rate of 40% -- on all goods that move through a third country before they get to the United States. The tariffs are aimed at stopping transshipment, a practice the administration says has allowed Chinese-made goods to skirt punitive tariffs.

A crackdown on transshipment will be an economic blow. It also complicates the supply chain in Southeast Asia, which depends heavily on Chinese raw materials and components. From Vietnam to Cambodia to Indonesia, officials and executives are rushing to assess the consequences. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Meet The Lover Of Cliff Richard - Try Not To Gag Outlier Model Undo The new tariffs raise hard questions for countries that have long used Chinese components to make the final products they ship to the United States. Does the Trump administration, which has yet to detail how it would enforce the new transshipment tariffs, want to tax it all? One country offers a case study others could follow for what to do next: Malaysia . Live Events Over the past decade, Malaysia rose to become one of the world's biggest makers of solar panels. Ten companies, most of them Chinese, shoveled $15 billion into factories around the country, creating tens of thousands of jobs. Then, under President Joe Biden, the United States put tariffs on solar equipment coming from Malaysia of as much as 250%. Today, just two solar panel makers remain and one of them has ceased much of its production. The upheaval has been a wake-up call for Malaysia, a nation of more than 35 million people that is rethinking how to power its future economic growth. "We're trying to think about ourselves not just as recipients of investment, but actually creators of technology," said Liew Chin Tong, the deputy minister of investment, trade and industry. "We want to think of ourselves not as a production site, but also as a consumer site with a sizable middle class." Officials in Malaysia, who had been trying to work out a trade deal, had said they were ready to work with the Trump administration to stop companies from passing off Chinese-made goods as their own. But they learned Friday they would be hit with a base tariff of 19%. An additional 40% would be added for any goods deemed to have originated in China. Those are set to take effect this week. The country finds itself caught squarely between the United States and China. Malaysia believes that Chinese solar companies can play an important role in its attempts to increase renewable power sources. Its goal over the next five years is for half the country's energy consumption to use clean sources like solar power. Warehouses are stuffed with solar equipment that can no longer be exported to the United States, and the government wants companies to sell it to local solar farms. One challenge for Malaysia is that it still needs China's solar industry on its side. More than 75% of the solar panels that Malaysia uses locally are imported from China, where prices are much cheaper because of Beijing's industrial policies that encourage exports. Longer term, Malaysia wants the Chinese companies to restart their mothballed factories to make solar panels for the domestic market. More than any other region, Southeast Asia has felt the brunt of the trade war between the United States and China that began in earnest during Trump's first presidency. Southeast Asian countries profited as Chinese and global multinationals relocated their factories out of China to avoid Trump's first-term tariffs. For Malaysia, the aim now is to blunt the collateral damage from the battle between the world's two largest economies. "I don't like to see us just having to choose between U.S. and China," said Liew, adding "I want to see us strengthening ourselves." Both superpowers have loomed large in Malaysia. American tech companies Nvidia, Intel and Texas Instruments built huge facilities to make semiconductors, seeing the country as a good location to hedge against the risks of doing business in China. More than 600 American companies invested in Malaysia last year, said Siobhan Das, CEO of the American Malaysian Chamber of Commerce. Chinese investment, meanwhile, has shaped Malaysia's manufacturing sector, and China has ranked as a top investor in the country for the past decade. Malaysia's imports from China have nearly doubled over the past decade, according to Lee Heng Guie, executive director of the Socio-Economic Research Center, a Malaysian think tank. It was also about a decade ago when Chinese solar companies began to invest in factories in Malaysia. The factories made everything for export to the United States and other major markets like Europe. "We knew we could not compete with the Chinese companies in the long run," said Lisa Ong, CEO at Malaysian Solar Resources , a solar company that shut its panel production facilities in 2013. After seven years, the company found it was being outperformed on price and production capacity. Today it has switched its focus to building solar farms and importing panels from China. After the Biden administration initiated an investigation into unfair practices by Chinese solar companies in Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand, Chinese companies began to slow some of their operations. The investigation led to steep tariffs on a handful of Chinese solar companies operating in these countries, and prompted most of them to abandon their factories in Malaysia. The only Chinese company still making some solar panels in Malaysia is Longi, an industry giant. When it opened its third Malaysian factory on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur in 2023, it heralded the opening as a "pivotal moment in Longi's global endeavors." Its executives boasted of creating 900 jobs and promised to increase the openings to 2,000. Instead of expanding, Longi has shut down several production lines at the facility. Today, much of the space at Longi's plant is unused. On one weekday last month, the parking lot was less than half full. Longi declined to comment for this article. Longi has met with Malaysian officials to discuss how to support more of the local supply chain, according to Justin Sim, the president of the Malaysian Photovoltaic and Sustainable Energy Industry Association. He is pressing the government to rebuild a domestic solar panel industry by harnessing the knowledge of Chinese companies like Longi. "All the Chinese companies came here when there was not really any capacity or interest in building the local market," Sim said. "And then they all went bust or left because they were hit with tariffs from the U.S. and Europe." Ong of Malaysian Solar Resources said she would not rule out her company going back to solar panel manufacturing, especially after the Chinese government announced plans to scale back subsidies to companies. Still, she is hesitant, citing the intense competitiveness of Chinese firms. "I'm worried and a bit concerned about our future," she said. "Many Chinese nationals are migrating to Malaysia and they are a lot more industrious than many of us."

US-China talks hit energy roadblock: Beijing defies pressure to halt Russian, Iranian oil imports amid tariff threats; trade deal at a crossroads
AI-generated image In a critical juncture for US-China trade relations, officials from both nations are working to resolve their differences and potentially reach a trade agreement that could prevent the imposition of severe tariffs. However, a significant sticking point reportedly remains- the US demand for China to cease purchasing oil from Iran and Russia. China's Foreign Ministry took to X on Wednesday, following two days of trade negotiations in Stockholm, to assert its stance. "China will always ensure its energy supply in ways that serve our national interests," the ministry stated, responding to the US threat of a 100 per cent tariff. The ministry further emphasized, "Coercion and pressuring will not achieve anything. China will firmly defend its sovereignty, security and development interests." This response comes at a time when both Beijing and Washington are expressing optimism about reaching a deal to stabilize commercial ties between the world's two largest economies. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking to reporters after the talks, acknowledged China's firm stance on its sovereignty. "The Chinese take their sovereignty very seriously," Bessent said, as quoted by the Associated Press. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pirates Climb Aboard Cargo Ship - Watch What The Captain Did Next Tips and Tricks Undo He added, "We do not want to impede on their sovereignty, so they would like to pay a 100 per cent tariff." Despite the challenges, Bessent remains hopeful about the negotiations. "I believe that we have the makings of a deal," he told CNBC, describing the Chinese as "tough" negotiators. Gabriel Wildau, managing director of consultancy Teneo, expressed skepticism about the US following through with the 100 per cent tariff threat. "Realising those threats would derail all the recent progress and probably kill any chance" for a trade deal announcement between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Wildau noted. The US aims to restrict oil sales by Russia and Iran to reduce funding for their militaries, as Moscow continues its war against Ukraine and Tehran supports militant groups in the Middle East. China's firm stance is not new. When Trump announced a broad tariff plan in April, China was the only country to retaliate. "If the US is bent on imposing tariffs, China will fight to the end," said Tu Xinquan, director of the China Institute for WTO Studies in Beijing, quoted by AP. Scott Kennedy, a senior adviser at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, suggested that Beijing might use the situation as leverage to gain more concessions from Trump. Meanwhile, Danny Russel of the Asia Society Policy Institute remarked that Beijing sees itself as "the one holding the cards" in its dealings with Washington. China's continued oil purchases from Russia and Iran are crucial for its strategic energy supply. A 2024 report by the US Energy Information Administration indicates that a significant portion of Iran's oil exports go to China, which imports over one million barrels of Iranian oil daily. Additionally, China is a major customer for Russian oil, second only to India. The ongoing negotiations and China's firm stance underscore the complexities of US-China trade relations, with energy policies playing a pivotal role in the discussions.
