State Bank of India Employees look for work-life balance and more than just a good salary
Employees in India highly value their companies' reputation, financial strength, and fair treatment. However, when asked what they look for in an ideal workplace, most people said that work-life balance and good salary with benefits are still lacking and need more attention from employers.
Randstad has been studying what job seekers and employees want for the past 25 years globally, and 15 years in India. This year, the report gathered opinions from over 3,500 people in India and more than 1.7 lakh people in 34 countries.
The study shows that today's workforce wants more than just a good salary. People are now looking for inclusive, future-ready workplaces that support both their personal and career growth.
According to the report, 47 per cent of Indian employees are planning to change jobs in the first half of 2025. This trend is even stronger among Gen Z (51 per cent) and Millennials (50 per cent), who are more eager to explore new opportunities.
While 86 per cent of workers in India feel highly motivated, only 5 per cent say they are not engaged at work. Interestingly, even among those who feel disconnected, 67 per cent still plan to switch jobs, showing a strong desire for better work experiences.
The study also found that 61 per cent of Indian employees now use AI tools regularly, with Millennials leading the way. Their usage increased by 13 per cent compared to last year. 38 per cent of employees believe that AI is already making a big impact on their work.
Reskilling and upskilling have become a top priority, especially for those with higher education. In fact, 9 out of 10 employees say they value employers who offer training and learning opportunities to help them grow.

7 big infra projects India has built for Maldives

India continues to play a key development role in the Maldives through major infrastructure projects, even as political ties recalibrate under President Muizzu. From bridges to renewable energy, these initiatives highlight India's lasting impact on the island nation's growth and connectivity. read more As India and the Maldives undergo a period of political recalibration under President Mohamed Muizzu, the long-standing development partnership between the two nations remains defined by key infrastructure projects that have transformed the archipelago's urban connectivity. Over the past decade, India has funded and implemented a string of high-impact projects, ranging from bridges and roads to ports and renewable energy systems under its broader 'Neighbourhood First' policy. Here are seven of the biggest infrastructure projects India has built or is building in the Maldives: STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Greater Male connectivity project India's largest development project in the Maldives, the $500 million Greater Male Connectivity Project is a game-changer for the island nation. Funded through a $100 million grant and $400 million line of credit from India, the 6.74 km bridge and causeway network will connect the capital Male with three neighbouring islands—Villingili, Gulhifalhu, and Thilafushi, enhancing connectivity for nearly half of the Maldivian population. The project is being executed by India's Afcons Infrastructure Ltd. Hanimaadhoo international airport expansion With a financial package of $136 million under India's Line of Credit, the expansion of Hanimaadhoo International Airport in northern Maldives is aimed at boosting regional tourism and trade. The project includes a new 2.46 km runway and passenger terminal capable of handling 1.3 million passengers annually. Addu roads and reclamation project India has committed $200 million to revamp infrastructure in Addu City, the second-largest urban centre in the Maldives. The project includes road development and land reclamation works which are vital for economic development and climate resilience in the southernmost atoll. Gulhifalhu port development India is supporting the first phase of the Gulhifalhu Port project, designed to become a key transhipment and commercial hub for the Maldives. It aims to decongest Male's existing port and strengthen the logistics infrastructure of the capital region. Water and sanitation projects across 34 islands With a $100 million Indian grant, water and sanitation infrastructure is being developed on 34 remote islands across the Maldives. These projects are essential for public health and sustainable living in one of the world's most climate-vulnerable nations. Social housing units in Hulhumale India has funded the construction of 2,000 affordable housing units in Hulhumale under an $80 million Line of Credit. Executed by NBCC (India) Ltd, the project aims to ease housing shortages and improve urban living conditions in the rapidly expanding capital region. Renewable energy projects across the Maldives In line with the Maldives' climate goals, India has helped install rooftop solar panels in government buildings, street lighting systems and hybrid renewable energy projects across various islands. India also assisted with a project to set up solar-battery-diesel hybrid systems on 11 islands. India's enduring development role Despite recent diplomatic friction over the withdrawal of Indian military personnel and a tilt towards China by the current Maldivian administration, these projects stand as a testament to India's long-term developmental footprint in the Maldives. Indian-funded infrastructure not only supports the Maldivian economy but also reinforces regional stability and shared prosperity.

RBI Bulletin article: Indian economy remains largely resilient despite global uncertainties, high tariff risk

Amid geopolitical tensions and tariff policy uncertainties, the Indian economy has remained resilient, aided by strong macroeconomic fundamentals, according to an article in the Reserve Bank of India's July monthly bulletin. 'Domestic economic activity held up in June, with high-frequency indicators pointing to improving prospects of the kharif agricultural season and continuation of strong momentum in the services sector,' according to the 'State of the Economy' article in RBI's July bulletin. The article has been prepared by central bank officials. The RBI said views published in the article are of the authors and not of the institution. It said that the growth in rural demand remained resilient and was accompanied by a recovery in urban economic activity. The all-India unemployment rate remained unchanged from the previous month at 5.6 per cent with rural areas faring better as compared to their urban counterparts. During April-May 2025, total expenditure grew by 19.7 per cent on a year-on-year (y-o-y) basis, accounting for 14.7 per cent of the Budget Estimates for FY26. Capital expenditure recorded robust growth during the first two months of the current fiscal and was at 19.7 per cent of the budgeted capital expenditure vis-à-vis 12.9 per cent during the same period a year ago, indicative of front-loading of capital spending by the Central government. India's merchandise trade deficit narrowed in June 2025, due to contraction in both oil and non-oil trade deficit. De-escalating geo-political tensions in the Middle East, optimism on trade deals and the easing of norms for infrastructure financing by the Reserve Bank buoyed up domestic financial market sentiments in the second half of June, the article said. In the first half of July, however, domestic markets traded with a negative bias as investor sentiment remained cautious amidst ongoing uncertainty over the potential India-US trade agreement and mixed corporate earnings results by companies in the first quarter of FY25. The article said that easing inflation, front-loading of government expenditure, targeted fiscal measures and congenial financial conditions for faster transmission of rate reductions should support aggregate demand in the economy, going forward. Headline inflation, as measured by y-o-y changes in the all-India consumer price index (CPI), declined to 2.1 per cent in June 2025 — the lowest since January 2019 — from 2.8 per cent in May. The retail inflation remained below the 4 per cent target for the fifth consecutive month in June. On the trade front, the article stated that as intense negotiations are underway for closing trade deals before the new import tariff rates kick in from August 1, 2025, the focus is back on US trade policies and their spillover effects globally. Financial markets, however, seem to have taken trade policy uncertainties in their stride, possibly reflecting optimism on reaching trade deals that are less disruptive to the global economy. Even so, underpricing of macroeconomic risk by financial markets remains a concern. According to the article, the average trade tariff rates are set to touch levels unseen since the 1930s. Moreover, the risk of imposition of new high tariffs looms large for additional sectors. The evolving pattern of global trade flows and supply chains are far from settled, the article highlighted, adding that these uncertainties pose considerable headwinds to global economic prospects. 'Amidst rising trade uncertainties and geo economic fragmentation, building more resilient trade partnerships presents a strategic opportunity for India to deepen its integration with global value chains,' it said. In addition, measures to accelerate domestic investment in infrastructure and structural reforms aimed at improving competitiveness and productivity would build resilience while supporting the growth momentum.

Dr Reddy's to launch obesity drug in 87 nations starting next year: CEO

Dr Reddy's Laboratories plans to launch a cheaper copycat version of Novo Nordisk's blockbuster weight-loss drug Wegovy in 87 countries next year, the Indian drugmaker's CEO, Erez Israeli, said on Wednesday. The plan for launch of generic semaglutide, active ingredient of Novo's Wegovy and Ozempic, comes as drugmakers race to grab a share of the global obesity drug market which is expected to generate around $150 billion in sales by the early 2030s. The company initially plans to launch the generic version in Canada, India, Brazil, Turkey and other emerging markets, subject to patent expiry, Israeli said at a press conference. "U.S. and Europe will open later," he added. Dr Reddy's has filed relevant regulatory applications in all the countries it is planning to launch the generic version in, Israeli said. Semaglutide will go off patent in India in March next year.
