"New York Living In India": Internet Reacts To Viral Video Of India Square In Jersey City
Not far away from New York City, there lies a place where every Indian will feel at home. It's India Square in Jersey City, situated in the northeastern part of the United States. Here, every other person you meet is likely to be Indian. But that's just the beginning. When you walk through the bustling lanes of India Square, a commercial and restaurant district, don't be surprised by the myriad Indian shops and outlets on either side of the street. Recently, a travel vlogger from South Delhi shared his experience of visiting India Square, also known as Little India, by posting a video on Instagram.
The video begins with the vlogger explaining how India Square feels like a mini India. Some of the shops can remind you of Delhi's iconic market street, Chandni Chowk. One restaurant is named Vatan Hot Bread, another is called Rasoi Indian. We also spotted Biryani Pot, an outlet serving delicious and aromatic biryani, a staple comfort food for many Indians. But it was Bikanervala - India's famous sweets and snack chain - that came as a "cultural shock" to the vlogger. A few other stores were Atul Bakery, Ganpathi Jewellers, and Laxmi Pan Center. On his casual stroll through the busy lanes, the vlogger also stumbled across a West Delhi man and instantly became friends with him.

The internet had a lot to say about the video. A Jersey City resident wrote, "I go here every week; the food is top-tier." "New York living in India," commented another humorously. "Bhai, paan kaise aur kahaan se laate hain udhar? Supplier to hum hain India mein paan ke (Brother, how and from where do they get paan here? I am the paan supplier here in India)," joked a user. "UNO reverse ho gaya (This is UNO reverse)," read a remark. "This is the best place in Jersey for Indians," pointed out one person.
So far, the video has received more than 3.4 million views.

‘Investors from US, Middle East interested…': Adani Airport Holdings may raise $1 billion in equity; first time from external investor
The airport division, which is entirely owned by Adani Enterprises Ltd, has an estimated value of $20 billion. Adani Airport Holdings Ltd (AAHL) is considering raising approximately $1 billion in equity from international investors whilst assessing expansion strategies and possible acquisitions, Adani Group CFO Jugeshinder Singh has said. The airport venture will be seeking external investor equity funding for the first time. The airport division, which is entirely owned by Adani Enterprises Ltd, has an estimated value of $20 billion, according to sources quoted in an ET report. This valuation surpasses GMR Airport's market capitalisation of $10.4 billion. GMR operates airports across various locations including New Delhi, Hyderabad, Goa and Nagpur. AAHL, which holds the position of India's largest private airport operator, currently manages seven airports - Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur, Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram. The company is completing its eighth airport in Navi Mumbai, scheduled to commence operations in August. Adani Airport Holdings Seeks International Investors "Everyone wants to do airports with us - investors from the US, Middle East and Australia have evinced interest in investing in the business," said Sagar Adani, nephew of group chairman Gautam Adani. Sagar Adani is also executive director, Adani Green Energy. CareEdge Ratings estimates that India's air passenger traffic will grow at 9% CAGR between FY25 and FY27, reaching a volume of 485 million. Adani Airports Across India According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, India's domestic air passenger traffic showed a 10.35% yearly increase in FY25. Airlines transported 14.54 million passengers across their routes. AAHL plans to capitalise on this growth by expanding its infrastructure, particularly with airports in Mumbai-Navi Mumbai and other strategic locations, aiming to triple its capacity over the next 15 years.

Adani CFO Singh indicated uncertainty about their immediate plans, saying, "We also have not decided whether we want to do it or not yet. So what we are thinking about is — is it a good idea for us to do it right now or should we wait two-three years once the build-out happens and the value is established." In January, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) provided an investment of ₹6,300 crore to GMR Enterprises (GEPL), the promoter entity of GMR Group, to decrease their debt burden. Regarding expansion plans, Singh said, "We are open to acquisitions in India and internationally. For international deals, it will have to be an international city pair which caters to an Indian diaspora. If there's a lot of Indian passengers going to a specific airport in some other city in the world, and if that opportunity comes up, we will look at that." The organisation plans to establish the airport business as an independent subsidiary within the next two-three years, before proceeding with its listing. AAHL reported a 7% increase in passenger traffic, handling 94 million passengers in FY25 compared to FY24.
