10 American bestsellers every booklover must read for success
Success is built with good books in hand. If you're on a journey to grow smarter, think sharper, and reach your goals, books can be your best mentor.
These days, we're surrounded by quick content.
Reels, tweets, short videos, motivational quotes that disappear after 24 hours… It's easy to forget the power of sitting down with a good book.
But if you're truly serious about leveling up in life—whether it's your mindset, your career, or just becoming a more well-rounded human—books are where the real magic happens.
Why? Because books aren't just about information. They give you depth. Unlike a social media post or a five-minute video, a well-written book pulls you into the author's world, thoughts, and experiences.
You get to walk in their shoes, learn from their failures, and soak up lessons that took them years—sometimes decades—to figure out. And that's powerful.
Books are also mentors you can carry around in your bag. Whether it's personal development, leadership, money smarts, or emotional intelligence—someone's written a book about it, and chances are, it's brilliant. Plus, reading boosts your focus, sharpens your thinking, and keeps your mind flexible.

Andhra govt, Nvidia sign MoU to launch AI university, train 10K students
The Government of Andhra Pradesh on Friday announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with American chipmaker Nvidia to set up a proposed Artificial Intelligence (AI) university in the state. The agreement focuses on skills training, research, infrastructure development, and support for start-ups. The announcement follows a meeting between Andhra Pradesh IT and Electronics Minister Nara Lokesh and Nvidia CEO Jenson Huang in Mumbai in October 2024, during which suggestions for establishing the university were discussed. Creating an AI ecosystem Under the MoU, the government and Nvidia aim to train 10,000 engineering students across Andhra Pradesh over the next two years. Nvidia will also provide curriculum support and technical training materials to assist engineering colleges in delivering AI education. To enhance research and development activities, Nvidia will help identify and establish AI research centres across the state. These centres will address key technological challenges and foster the development of practical applications. 'This partnership with Nvidia marks a decisive step in our vision to position Andhra Pradesh as a national leader in artificial intelligence. By equipping 10,000 students with cutting-edge AI skills and supporting our startup ecosystem, we are laying the foundation for a future-ready economy driven by innovation, research, and entrepreneurship,' said Lokesh. Vishal Dhupar, managing director for Asia South at Nvidia, said, 'We are proud to collaborate with the Government of Andhra Pradesh in building a strong and inclusive AI ecosystem. This initiative reflects our commitment to democratising access to AI education, accelerating research, and enabling startups to innovate at scale. Together, we aim to create a model that can inspire similar efforts across the country.' AI factories to be established Nvidia will also advise on establishing AI factories — hubs focused on innovation and talent development. The state government, in turn, plans to support up to 500 AI-focused start-ups in applying to Nvidia's Inception Programme.

Starlink gets licence to start India services
Starlink is the third company after Eutelsat OneWeb and Jio Satellite Communications to get a licence from the Department of Telecommunications to provide satellite internet services in the country. New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI) Elon Musk's Starlink has received a licence from the telecom department for providing satellite internet services in India, a key milestone that will take it closer towards launching commercial operations in the country. DoT sources confirmed on Friday that Starlink has indeed received the licence, and said the company will be granted trial spectrum in 15-20 days of applying for it. Starlink will now have to comply with the security norms such as providing access for lawful interception, before starting services. The licence came hours after a huge public spat between Musk and US President Donald Trump. The falling-out between the world's richest man and the world's most powerful person began when Musk, who left his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency a week ago, denounced Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill. On Thursday, it erupted in the verbal duel after Trump criticised Musk in the Oval Office. Musk responded saying 'Trump would have lost' without his help, prompting the US President to end US contracts. The licence from DoT came nearly a month after the Starlink was issued a letter of intent (LoI) by the telecom department. The companies that have received the licence would, however, have to a wait a tad longer for commercial satcom spectrum as the Trai just recently sent its recommendations on pricing, and terms and conditions, to the government for its consideration. The players will be able to start their services after the allocation of radio wave frequencies. Typically, even before the commercial spectrum, the trial spectrum is required to test, and verify the systems and processes on security parameters to demonstrate that all norms and requirements, are being complied with. The status of the Starlink's final nod from the Indian space regulator, In-SPACe could not be immediately ascertained. Starlink is a satellite internet service developed by SpaceX — the American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company founded in 2002 by the world's richest man Musk. It provides high-speed, low-latency broadband internet worldwide using satellite technology and is aptly described by some as broadband beamed from the skies. Unlike conventional satellite services that rely on distant geostationary satellites, Starlink utilises the world's largest low Earth orbit or LEO constellation (550 km above Earth). This constellation of LEO satellites (7,000 now but eventually set to grow to over 40,000) and its mesh delivers broadband internet capable of supporting streaming, online gaming, and video calls. Starlink, which had been vying for an India licence for some time now, recently signed pacts with Ambani's Reliance Jio and Mittal's Bharti Airtel, which together control more than 70 per cent of the country's telecom market, to bring the US satellite internet giant's services to India. The nod for the satcom offering — known for its resilience in harsh conditions and conflict zones — coincides with escalation of Donald Trump-Elon Musk feud in the US. Early last month, the government had issued stringent security norms mandating legal interception of satellite communication services and barred companies from linking connection of users in any form with any terminal or facility located outside the country's border as well as processing of their data overseas. The tighter security rules also mandate service providers to indigenise at least 20 per cent of their ground segment of the satellite network within years of their establishment in the country. The satcom service licence holders will require security clearances for specific gateway and hub locations in India and compliance to monitoring, interception facilities and equipment requirements. India's rules mandate satcom firms to demonstrate system capabilities with respect to security aspects, including monitoring, to the Department of Telecom (DoT) or its authorised representatives before starting operations in India. It is pertinent to mention that Telecom regulator TRAI last month recommended that satellite communication companies like Starlink pay 4 per cent of their adjusted gross revenue (AGR) as spectrum charges to the government — a rate steeper than what these firms had been lobbying for. Operators offering satellite-based broadband internet services in urban areas would have to shell out an additional Rs 500 per subscribers annually, TRAI recommended. No additional levy would be applicable for services in rural areas. COAI, whose members include Reliance Jio and Airtel, recently approached the telecom department to raise concerns over TRAI recommendations on the satcom spectrum. The industry body argued that 'incorrect assumptions' have led to unjustifiably low spectrum charges for satellite services relative to terrestrial networks — a claim strongly rejected by Trai, which has ruled out any review of recommendations at this stage, based on industry body COAI's charges.
