In a landmark move aimed at strengthening financial literacy and fostering women-led entrepreneurship, the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and the WE HUB Foundation, a Government of Telangana initiative, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch multiple impactful programs across the state.
This strategic collaboration will focus on enhancing financial awareness through investor awareness programs (IAPs), guiding women-led micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in accessing capital via NSE's EMERGE platform, and implementing a comprehensive Student Skilling Program in the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector.
The MoU was exchanged in the presence of Telangana's Hon'ble Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, D Shridhar Babu, and Danasari Anasuya Seethakka, among other dignitaries. It was formally signed by Sriram Krishnan, Chief Business Development Officer, NSE, and Sita Pallacholla, CEO, WE HUB Foundation.
Sanjay Kumar, IAS, Special Chief Secretary, ITE&C and I&C Departments, and Sita Pallacholla jointly commented: "We are pleased to collaborate with NSE on this initiative. Empowering women entrepreneurs and creating meaningful skilling opportunities are vital steps toward a resilient economy."
The MoU outlines a roadmap that includes seminars, workshops, roadshows, and mentorship to help MSMEs scale through IPO fundraising. It also promotes financial education for students, enhancing their employability in Telangana's evolving economy.
Shri Sriram Krishnan added, "This collaboration is a critical step in our mission to build a financially informed and inclusive ecosystem. With WE HUB's reach and our expertise, we aim to create real, scalable impact."
NSE has already conducted over 14,600 IAPs and trained 7,500+ students under its skilling program. With 615 companies listed on NSE EMERGE having raised over INR 17,083 crore, this initiative promises to unlock new capital and growth avenues for Telangana's businesses and youth alike.

Navarro Reminds Modi of America's Exorbitant Privilege
Without saying anything really new, Peter Navarro has revealed something important. If India wants to keep earning dollars by selling goods and services to America, it has to recycle them as per Washington's diktats. The White House trade adviser's op-ed in the Financial Times is aimed at critics who have been shocked by the summary disdain with which President Donald Trump has alienated an ally that past administrations have spent a quarter-century cultivating. Navarro's main message: 'If India wants to be treated as a strategic partner of the US, it needs to start acting like one.'

Soccer players' union wants quick resolution of India's domestic league stalemate
Global soccer players' union FIFPRO has called for a swift resolution to the crisis that has gripped the domestic game in India. The 2025-26 India Super League (ISL) season was due to start in September, but the 14-team competition has been suspended due to uncertainty over the renewal of its organizing agreement between the Indian federation and its commercial partner, the Football Sports Development Ltd., pending a Supreme Court ruling. In early August, three ISL clubs, Bengaluru FC, Odisha FC and Chennaiyin FC, either suspended salaries or ceased soccer operations until a solution is found. 'The lack of clarity for players over the 2025-26 Indian Super League (ISL) season, arising from a dispute over the league's organization and governance that has led to its indefinite suspension, is having a significant impact on their livelihoods, careers, and well-being,' FIFPRO Asia/Oceania said in a statement released Tuesday. 'Players have been subjected to unilateral and unlawful suspensions of their employment contracts until further notice,' the statement added. 'These actions represent a direct breach of the players' labor rights and are causing significant distress.' Media reports in India said the Supreme Court's ruling was expected to be delivered on Friday. In early July, Manolo Márquez left his position by mutual consent as head coach of India's national team after just one win in eight games and less than a year in the job. On Aug. 1, after discarding hoax applications from Xavi and Pep Guardiola, the All India Football Federation hired Khalid Jamil as the new head coach. ___ AP soccer:
