The Wire08-07-2025
Designed in India. Privacy-first. Performance-driven. India's Smartphone for the World New Delhi, Delhi, India (NewsVoir) In a landmark moment for India's digital future, NxtQuantum today launched the Ai Smartphone, India's first fully authored smartphone, built entirely in India, governed on Indian infrastructure, and designed to deliver world-class performance with uncompromising data privacy. The launch was led by Madhav Sheth, CEO, Ai Smartphone and Founder, NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, alongside Shashikumar Sreedharan, Managing Director, Google Cloud India, and Smrithi Ravichandran, Vice President – Mobiles, Flipkart. More than just a product launch, Ai marks a bold new direction in mobile innovation, where performance meets purpose, and users gain true control over how their data is stored, accessed, and protected.
Built entirely in India and powered by NxtQuantum OS, India's first sovereign mobile operating system, the Ai Smartphone combines high performance, affordability, and privacy in one seamless experience. It offers Indian users an alternative to foreign-built devices and opaque software ecosystems, giving them full visibility and control over their data. With this launch, NxtQuantum aims to redefine what ownership, transparency, and digital trust should look like in the smartphone era.
Unveiled by Madhav Sheth and built by his team at NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, the Ai Smartphone lineup features two smartphones, Pulse and Nova 5G, each available in five bold colours, all running on NxtQuantum OS, India's first sovereign mobile operating system. With Ai Smartphone, India isn't just assembling phones anymore. It's building its own digital foundation. 'Ai Smartphone is about putting control back in the hands of Indian users,' said Madhav Sheth, CEO, Ai Smartphone and Founder, NxtQuantum Shift Technologies. 'For years, we've relied on phones and platforms that were never made with India in mind. Ai Smartphone changes that. These phones are fast, beautifully designed, and most importantly, they keep your data safe,' he added.
Designed in India. Ready for the World.
Ai smartphones are manufactured in India by United Telelinks (Bangalore) Limited at their Noida Factory, reinforcing NxtQuantum's long-term commitment to building sovereign digital infrastructure, starting from the factory floor. Everything from software to supply chain has been aligned to India's priorities. But what makes Ai Smartphone truly different isn't just where it's made, but what it's made for. From long battery life and high-definition displays to dual SIM flexibility and enhanced camera performance, the Ai Smartphone is designed with the needs of people in India in mind, focusing on how they live, work, learn, and connect. The phones support regional languages, local content, and a customisable experience through NxtQuantum's Theme Designer Tool.
Why India Needs Ai Smartphones Now India is the world's second-largest smartphone market, with more than 800 million users. Yet most smartphones today still run on foreign software and route user data through third-party systems outside the country. That means little visibility and even less control.
Ai Smartphone is designed to fix that. Every Ai Smartphone runs on NxtQuantum OS, a built-in India operating system with a zero-trust security architecture. All personal data, from app preferences to backups, is stored securely in India, utilising MeitY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India)-empanelled Google Cloud Regions.
Now Available on Flipkart The full Ai Smartphone lineup is now live on Flipkart and other channels, starting at just Rs 4499*. Phones are available in a variety of bold colours and storage options. 'At Flipkart, we've seen growing demand for smartphones that are not just affordable but trustworthy,' said Smrithi Ravichandran, Vice President – Mobiles, Flipkart. 'We're proud to bring Ai Smartphone to our customers, a product that blends performance, privacy, and purpose.' Ai Smartphone isn't just a new smartphone line. It's a new way forward. For the first time, Indian users can choose a phone that's built in India, governed in India, keeps their data safe, and puts them fully in control. With Ai Smartphone, NxtQuantum isn't just launching devices it is building digital confidence.

"I don't know anything about it": Trump on US imports of Russian chemicals and fertilizers

Donald Trump claimed ignorance about US imports of Russian chemicals and fertilizers. This followed India's assertion that the US continues to import these items. Trump also threatened to raise tariffs on India for buying Russian oil. India strongly rejected this, citing its energy security needs. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (local time) stated that he had no knowlegde that the United States imports Russian Chemicals and fertilizers. The rebutall came after India claimed that US continues to import from Russia uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry,fertilisers, as well as asked by the about US Imports of Russian chemicals and fertilizers during a press conference at the White House, Trump said, "I don't know anything about it. We will have to check."ANI has reached out to the presidents press team and awaits for a comment came a day after the US President announced that the United States would "substantially raise" tariffs on India over its purchase of Russian oil."India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!" Trump had said in a post on Truth Social on US President's statement was strongly rejected by India, with the Ministry of External Affairs calling the targeting of India "unjustified and unreasonable."In a detailed response, India said its imports from Russia were based on market needs and energy security, especially after Western nations diverted traditional supplies to Europe following the Ukraine conflict."In fact, India began importing from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the conflict. The United States at that time actively encouraged such imports by India for strengthening global energy markets stability. India's imports are meant to ensure predictable and affordable energy costs to the Indian consumer. They are a necessity compelled by global market situation. However, it is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia. Unlike our case, such trade is not even a vital national compulsion," the statement government also pointed to continued trade between Russia and both the United States and the European Union."Where the United States is concerned, it continues to import from Russia uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium for its EV industry, fertilisers, as well as chemicals. In this background, the targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security," the statement said," the MEA statement's also noted that the EU's bilateral trade with Russia in 2024 reached Euro 67.5 billion in goods, along with 16.5 million tonnes of LNG, more than its own trade volume with said it will take all necessary steps to safeguard its national interests and economic security.

Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend three shares to buy today — 6 August 2025

Stocks to buy under ₹ 100: Following the renewed fear of Trump's tariffs, the Indian stock market underperformed global markets on Tuesday. The Nifty 50 index ended 73 points lower at 24,649, the BSE Sensex finished 308 points down at 80,710, while the Bank Nifty index corrected 259 points and closed at 55,360. Titan, IndusInd Bank and SBI Life led the charge among the Nifty's top performers. Conversely, it was a particularly tough session for heavyweights like Adani Ports, Reliance Industries, and Infosys, which ended as the major losers within the Nifty pack. Trading volumes on the NSE cash market were higher by 6% compared to the previous session. Nifty OIL & GAS, pharma, and FMCG were major losers among the sectoral indices. In contrast, auto, consumer durables, and metals ended in the green, indicating pockets of buying interest despite the cautious sentiment. Both the Midcap and smallcap Indices witnessed profit booking, along with the Benchmark Index. The Nifty Midcap 100 fell 0.39%, while the Nifty Smallcap Index lost 0.16%. Market breadth turned negative, with advancing shares outnumbering declining ones, as indicated by an advanced-decline ratio on the BSE, which was 0.77. Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 indices, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The near-term down trend of the Nifty 50 index remains intact and the market is expected to slide down towards the 24,500 to 24,400 levels in the next few sessions. However, today's RBI's mid-quarter policy outcome is expected to show clear directions for the market. Immediate resistance for Nifty today is placed at 24,800." On the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "The Bank Nifty index is slipping down slowly towards the 55000 zone with bias weakening and would need a revival in the coming sessions to expect some decent pullback. The index has the important 100-period MA at the 56700 level, which would be the next support zone and needs to be sustained. On the upside, a decisive breach above the 50-DEMA zone at the 56000 level is much needed to improve the bias, and thereafter, expect a further rise." Regarding stocks to buy today, market experts — Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher; Sugandha Sachdeva, Founder of SS WealthStreet; and Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment, recommended these three intraday stocks for today under ₹ 100: GMR Airports, MSP Steel & Power, and DCW. 1] GMR Airports: Buy at ₹ 92, Target ₹ 96, Stop Loss ₹ 89. 2] MSP Steel & Power: Buy at ₹ 30.30, Targets ₹ 31.50, ₹ 33.30, Stop Loss ₹ 29.40. 3] DCW: Buy at ₹ 75.50, Target ₹ 80, Stop Loss ₹ 72.

Indian shares set to open flat ahead of RBI policy decision

Aug 6 (Reuters) - Indian shares are set to open little changed on Wednesday ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) policy announcement, with investors anticipating a rate pause and dovish signals to offset rising external risks, particularly the proposed U.S. tariffs. Gift Nifty futures were trading at 24,670 points as of 7:04 a.m. IST, indicating that the Nifty 50 will open near Tuesday's close of 24,649.55. The RBI is widely expected to hold rates steady at its policy decision scheduled at 10:00 a.m. IST, following its surprise 50-basis-point cut in June, which was accompanied by a shift to a "neutral" stance. While the central bank had previously signalled limited room for further easing, expectations for the reassurance of growth and dovish commentary have intensified following the U.S.'s 25% tariffs on Indian goods. "In light of the proposed U.S. tariffs, markets will be looking for a dovish tone and clear reassurance on growth support," said Gaurav Garg, analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk. "The Governor's guidance on balancing domestic demand with external headwinds will be key." Since the June 6 policy, the Nifty 50 has slipped 1.41%, weighed down by muted earnings and global uncertainty. Foreign portfolio investors were net sellers for 12 straight sessions till Tuesday, reacting to trade concerns and earnings disappointment. Meanwhile, domestic institutional investors sold stocks in 22 sessions, providing some cushion to FPI outflows. "The sustained FPI selling was largely driven by a combination of subdued Q1 earnings, a strong U.S. dollar and uncertainty surrounding the U.S-India trade negotiations," said Manish Goel, founder and managing director at Equentis Wealth Advisory Services. FPI outflows may continue till there is greater clarity on trade policy and an improvement in corporate earnings, Goel added. Broader Asian markets opened lower, while Wall Street declined overnight as investors weighed tariff concerns and weaker than expected U.S. economic data.
