Image credit: LinkedIn/Canva Venture capitalist and former chairman of Sequoia Capital , Mike Moritz , has publicly defended Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan after US President Donald Trump demanded his resignation last week. Moritz urged Intel to stand by its CEO, stating there is 'no one better equipped to transform Intel's fortunes." Moritz, who has known Tan for nearly four decades from his time at Sequoia Capital, described Trump's actions as a 'vindictive political sideshow' with 'no modern precedent.' He also highlighted Tan's previous experience in turning around Cadence Design Systems as a key reason for his confidence in Tan's ability to lead the US-based chipmaker. Tan may even visit the White House to address concerns about his background and discuss how Intel can collaborate with the US government. What Mike Moritz said while defending Intel's CEO Lip Bu Tan In a piece recently published in the Financial Times, Moritz wrote: 'Now the Intel board must decide whether to march to the beat of so many other corporate leaders and capitulate to the president's artless bullying or to set an example for other companies and display some backbone. Early signs of defiance are encouraging.' Moritz, who joined Sequoia Capital in 1986 and stepped down in 2023, made notable early investments in companies such as Google and PayPal during his tenure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If Your Ears Ring, Stop Sleeping Like This Immediately Derila Ergo Undo This comes after Trump took to the social media platform Truth Social to share a post calling for Tan's resignation, describing the 65-year-old as 'highly CONFLICTED.' Soon after, Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark) also voiced concerns about Tan's connections to Chinese companies and the possible national security implications. In response, Tan addressed what he referred to as 'misinformation' in a letter to employees, stating that he has 'always operated within the highest legal and ethical standards.' Four former Intel board members - Charlene Barshefsky, Reed Hundt, James Plummer, and David Yoffie - have also supported Trump's criticism of Tan.

Flipkart Minutes adds gourmet range to attract buyers seeking premium products
Walmart-backed ecommerce platform Flipkart's quick commerce arm, Minutes, has expanded its offerings to include gourmet products in its product selection. 'With the launch of gourmet, we are not just expanding our assortment but also redefining what convenience means for India's growing modern consumers,' said Kabeer Biswas, vice president at Flipkart Minutes. 'Whether it's crafting an authentic Asian meal, baking at home, or simply discovering new tastes, our curated selection ensures they get quality products from their favourite brands, delivered in minutes at their doorstep.' Under the gourmet section, Flipkart Minutes has 650 products from 130 brands—international brands including Samyang, Nongshim, Barilla, and Abbie's, as well as Indian brands such as Habanero and WickedGud. Currently, Flipkart Minutes' gourmet offerings are live in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, with plans to expand to more cities. Interestingly, consumers in tier-2 markets are also showing a liking for these gourmet products. 'Tier 2 audiences are getting more conscious about trying global ingredients and new flavours, and are being open to non-traditional palettes. Quick commerce is leading at the moment,' said Griffith David, founder of Habanero. Need for premiumisation This development also comes at a time when the quick commerce segment is seeing increasing competition—making it more important than ever for platforms to differentiate from rivals. Another ecommerce giant, Amazon, has also joined the race of quick commerce through Now. After launching its service in Bangalore in June, Amazon expanded its quick commerce service to a few localities in Delhi in July. Besides, new players are also entering the online grocery delivery business by offering more premium and quality products. One such example is FirstClub. It is a new quick commerce platform that focuses on delivering a select range of premium products within 20-30 minutes. In September 2024, ET reported that Ayyappan R, former chief executive of Flipkart-owned Cleartrip, was set to launch FirstClub and was in talks with venture capital firms Accel and RTP Global for significant seed funding. Similarly, Mumbai-based LoveLocal is a hyperlocal delivery app for groceries, fresh vegetables, fruits, and other essentials. It connects users to their local kirana store or small supermarket to place their orders. Instead of speed, LoveLocal focuses on providing good quality and fresh products to its users.
