Pakistan, China shaking with fear as India to get this new missile soon, its name is..., capable of...
QRSAM Missile System: In view of the recent escalation of conflict between India and Pakistan and the ongoing tensions with China, the Indian government is focusing on strengthening the country's air defence system. The Defence Ministry, in the coming months, will present a crucial proposal to the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), in which there is a plan to include the Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) system. This missile system will play a significant role in strengthening the security of the country's borders. The recent conflict with Pakistan has shown the importance of a powerful air defence system, where India's S-400 detected and destroyed Pakistan's suicide drones and missiles. Let's know more.
As per reports, the Indian Defence Ministry is planning to purchase as many as three regiments of QRSAM missiles with an estimated cost of Rs 30,000 crore. These missiles will be deployed in the western and northern borders. The proposal will be placed for approval in the DAC meeting to be held in the last week of June 2025. QRSAM Missile
Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile is capable of detecting and destroying enemy's aircraft, drones and missiles, specially those flying at high speeds. Developed by DRDO in collaboration with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), this missile system will be a game changer in safeguarding India's borders from air strikes. QRSAM Missile Features
The missile's speed is up to 6000 km per hour. Apart from this, its range is from 3 to 30 kms. Also, its height ranges from 98 feet to 33,000 feet.
This missile system will work with India's existing MRSAM and Akash systems, further strengthening security against enemy's aerial threats. Deployment Of QRSAM
India's air defence capabilities will be significantly enhanced by the QRSAM system, improving its alertness, accuracy, and overall effectiveness. This system is expected to be crucial in deterring future air attacks and intrusions.

Ajay Devgn applauds Prismix Studios for pioneering generative AI in ‘Maa'
Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn has praised Prismix Studios for taking a groundbreaking leap in Indian cinema with their innovative use of Generative AI in the upcoming film Maa. Calling it a 'bold new voice for the future of filmmaking,' Devgn lauded the team for merging cutting-edge technology with emotionally rich storytelling. The film, helmed by Danish Devgn and Vatsal Sheth, incorporates a pivotal three-minute sequence where 90 seconds of visuals are generated entirely through Prismix Studios' custom in-house AI pipeline. Rather than being a visual gimmick, these AI-crafted scenes are seamlessly integrated into the narrative, enhancing emotional impact while preserving artistic integrity. 'With Maa, Prismix Studios is setting the foundation for how AI can responsibly and meaningfully contribute to the art of cinema,' Devgn said. He emphasized that the film demonstrates AI's potential as a collaborative tool, opening new visual languages and encouraging creative risk-taking without replacing human artistry. The project marks a milestone for Indian filmmaking, which has long balanced storytelling excellence with technical innovation. Maa showcases how AI can expand creative boundaries, offering filmmakers limitless possibilities for crafting immersive cinematic experiences. Industry observers see the film's achievement as a turning point, likely to inspire other directors to explore similar technological integrations. The seamless blending of advanced AI visuals with heartfelt narrative in Maa reflects a growing global trend—where technology serves as a partner in creativity rather than a disruptor. As anticipation builds for its release, Maa stands poised to spark conversations about the future of filmmaking in India. Ajay Devgn's public endorsement signals both the film's artistic ambition and the country's readiness to embrace next-generation storytelling tools.

Traders are fleeing stocks feared to be under threat from Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence's imprint on US financial markets is unmistakable. Nvidia Corp. is the most valuable company in the world at nearly $4.5 trillion. Startups from OpenAI to Anthropic have raised tens of billions of dollars. But there's a downside to the new technology that investors are increasingly taking note of: It threatens to upend industries much like the internet did before it. And investors have started placing bets on just where that disruption will occur next, ditching shares in companies some strategists expect will see falloffs in demand as AI applications become more widely adopted. Among them are web-development firms like Ltd., digital-image company Shutterstock Inc. and software maker Adobe Inc. The trio are part of a basket of 26 companies Bank of America strategists identified as most at risk from AI. The group has underperformed the S&P 500 Index by about 22 percentage points since mid-May after more or less keeping pace with the market since ChatGPT's debut in late 2022. 'The disruption is real,' said Daniel Newman, chief executive officer of the Futurum Group. 'We thought it would happen over five years. It seems like it is going to happen over two. Service-based businesses with a high headcount, those are going to be really vulnerable, even if they have robust businesses from the last era of tech.' So far, few companies have failed as a result of the proliferation of chatbots and so-called agents that can write software code, answer complex questions and produce photos and videos. But with tech giants like Microsoft Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. pouring hundreds of billions into AI, investors have started to get more defensive. and Shutterstock are down at least 33% in 2025, compared with a 8.6% advance for the broad benchmark. Adobe has fallen 23% amid concerns clients will look to AI platforms that can generate images and videos, as Coca-Cola has already done with an AI-generated ad. ManpowerGroup Inc., whose staffing services could be hurt by rising automation, is down 30% this year, while peer Robert Half Inc. has shed more than half its value, dropping to its lowest in more than five years. The souring sentiment among investors comes as AI is changing everything from the way people get information from the internet to how colleges function. Even companies at the vanguard of the technology's development like Microsoft have been slashing jobs as productivity improves and to make way for more AI investments. To many tech-industry watchers, the time is nearing when AI becomes so pervasive that companies start going out of business. Anxiety about AI's impact on existing companies was on display last week when Gartner Inc. shares were routed after the market-research company cut its revenue forecast for the year. The stock fell 30% in the five days, its biggest one-week drop on record. While the company blamed US government policies including spending cuts and tariffs, analysts were quick to point the finger at AI, which investors fear could provide cheaper alternatives to Gartner's research and analysis even though the company is deploying its own AI-powered tools. Morgan Stanley said the results 'added fuel to the AI disruption case,' while Baird was left 'incrementally concerned AI risks are having an impact.' Gartner representatives didn't respond to a request for comment. Historical precedents abound for new technology wiping out industries. The telegraph gave way to telephones, horsewhips and buggies were toppled by the automobile, and Blockbuster's eradication by Netflix Inc. exemplified the internet's disruption. 'There are a lot of pockets of the market that could be basically annihilated by AI, or at least the industry will see extreme disruption, and companies will be rendered irrelevant,' said Adam Sarhan, chief executive officer at 50 Park Investments. 'Any company where you're paying someone to do something that AI can do faster and cheaper will be wiped out. Think graphic design, administrative work, data-analysis.' Of course, plenty of companies that were expected to be hammered by AI are thriving. Even though many AI companies offer instant translation services, Duolingo Inc., the owner of a language-learning app, soared after raising its outlook for 2025 sales, in part because of how it has implemented AI into its own strategy. The stock has roughly doubled over the past year — but concerns linger that the next generation of AI will be a threat. The defensive moves from investors come as AI has re-emerged as the dominant theme between winners and losers in the stock market this year. It's been a stark reversal from earlier in 2025 when AI models developed on the cheap in China called into question US dominance in the field and raised concerns that spending on computing gear was set to slow. Instead, Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet Inc. and Inc. have doubled down on spending. The four companies are expected to pour roughly $350 billion into combined capital expenditures in their current fiscal years, up nearly 50% from the previous year, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Much of that is funding the build out of AI infrastructure, which is benefiting companies like Nvidia, whose chips dominate the market for AI computing. Figuring out which companies are vulnerable to the technology takes a bit more nuance. Alphabet is widely seen as one of the best-positioned companies, with cutting edge features and top-tier talent and data. However, it is a component of Bank of America's AI risk basket, and the sense that it is playing defense — protecting its huge share of the lucrative internet search market — has long dogged the stock. For other companies, the risk seems more clear. Advertising agency Omnicom Group Inc. has dropped 15% this year, as it faces a future where Meta is reportedly looking to fully automate ad creation through AI. Peer WPP Plc is down more than 50%. 'The traditional advertising agency model is under intense pressure and that is before GenAI starts to really scale,' Michael Nathanson, senior analyst at MoffettNathanson, wrote in a research note. With so many companies facing AI risks, it's an investment theme that is poised to intensify, according to Phil Fersht, chief executive officer of HFS Research. 'Wall Street clearly has the jitters,' Fersht said. 'This is going to be a tough, unforgiving market.'

Indian stock market data on Perplexity Comet? Aravind Srinivas, Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath tease collaboration
A quick exchange between Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath and Perplexity founder Aravind Srinivas turned out to be an impending collaboration between the finance and AI companies, with Indian stock markets potentially featuring on Perplexity comment. Taking note of a suggestion on X, Aravind Srinivas tagged Nikhil Kamath and wrote, 'Should we? @nikhilkamathcio'. He received a prompt reply from the Zerodha boss, showing his eagerness. 'Absolutely, setting up a call for Monday...' he replied. The suggestion came from an X account Prudent AI. 'Why don't @perplexity_ai team up with @zerodhaonline and add Indian stock markets to the Comet finance page,' the user suggested, turning heads of both the executives of the companies. While nothing has been finalised yet, the conversation between Nikhil Kamath and Aravind Srinivas does instill hopes of a Zerodha Perplexity collaboration soon. The chances of the two platforms joining hands will depend on if the two executives actually go on with the call and discuss the potential of a deal between their companies. The collaboration can integrate Indian stock market data into Comet, Perplexity's new AI-native browser. Launched in July by Perplexity, Comet blends web browsing with real-time AI assistance, which can read, summarise and act on live data, making it perfect for stock market tracking. 'Comet transforms entire browsing sessions into single, seamless interactions, collapsing complex workflows into fluid conversations,' its website mentions. The facility is available for Perplexity Max customers. 'Invite-only access will roll out slowly to our waitlist over the summer. New users will also receive a limited number of invites to share,' Perplexity said in July. Meanwhile, Zerodha is India's largest stock broking platform with more than 12 million active clients. A potential collaboration of the two companies could be beneficial for Zerodha, which could gain more users by embedding live market data into Comet's interface. Perplexity, on the other hand, could be closer to its goal of transforming traditional browser search into an 'answer engine' experience.
