Workplace bullying harms creativity, innovation in employees, says IIM study
Workplace bullying and subtle forms of negative behaviour, such as exclusion, humiliation, or unfair treatment, are silently eroding employees' creativity, according to a new study by the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) research has found that such behaviour not only reduces creative thinking but also lowers the chances of employees pursuing innovative side projects, which are often self-initiated and later presented to management when they yield significant side projects, when supported, can become engines of business growth. However, the study highlights how bullying suppresses such RESEARCH DESIGN According to officials, the researchers employed a mixed-method approach to examine the issue.

Organisations must create an environment where support, respect, and open dialogue are the norm to unlock true innovation."HOW NEGATIVE BEHAVIOUR DRAINS ENERGYThe study found that workplace bullying reduces employees' likelihood of engaging in innovative side projects.

Will GST reform, S&P Global upgrade bring FIIs back to Indian stock market?
The recent developments – proposed changes to the goods and services tax (GST) rates and S&P Global Ratings' upgrade of India's long-term sovereign credit rating to BBB from the lowest investment grade of BBB-, with a stable outlook, - may not be enough to bring back foreign investors back to Indian equity markets in a rush, feel analysts. For a meaningful return to Indian shores, an improvement in corporate earnings along with a stable policy framework – both back home and globally (in the form of tariffs) – is a must, they suggest. 'Policy initiatives from the Government on the GST front with indications of next generation reforms have improved market sentiments significantly. However, the fundamentals (earnings growth) will take time to respond. A sustained market rally will happen only when we have indications of earnings revival,' said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments. Thus far in calendar year 2025 (CY25), foreign institutional investors have dumped Indian equities worth Rs 1.17 trillion, shows NSDL data, with January seeing the highest sell-off totaling nearly Rs 78,000 crore. In August, they had already sold stocks worth Rs 22,200 crore, according to NSDL. Foreign investors, said Jitendra Gohil, chief investment strategist at Kotak Alternate Asset Managers, are looking to invest more in emerging markets (EMs) now as the artificial intelligence (AI)-led rally in the United States has made the related stocks overheated. FII flows 'India has been an underperformer due to a soft economic patch and corporate earnings. The second half of the fiscal 2025-26 (FY26) could see more policy initiatives by the government. Corporate earnings, too, are likely to pick up in the quarters ahead driven by the festival season and rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The rating upgrade will be seen as a long-term positive by FIIs. The only surprise element amid all these positives is how the tariffs play out, which could keep investors at bay,' he said. Corporate earnings As regards corporate earnings, the Nifty, according to analysts at Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL), delivered an 8 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth in profit after tax (PAT) versus their estimates of a 5 per cent uptick. 'Bharti Airtel, Reliance Industries (RIL), State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank contributed 77 per cent of the incremental YoY accretion in earnings. Conversely, Coal India, Tata Motors, IndusInd Bank, ONGC, HCL Technologies, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Axis Bank, Eternal, Hindustan Unilever (HUL), and Nestle contributed adversely to the earnings,' MOFSL said. "Net income and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of the Nifty-50 Index is likely to grow 9.6 per cent and 13 per cent in FY26 versus 6.5 per cent and 4.5 per cent in FY25," wrote Sanjeev Prasad, managing director and co-head of Kotak Institutional Equities (KIE) in a recent coauthored note with Anindya Bhowmik and Sunita Baldawa. Buy the dip That said, any tariff-related development that triggers a correction in Indian equities, analysts advise, should be used to buy from a long-term perspective. 'The 50 per cent tariff should not be seen as a reason to sell Indian equities. Rather it is probably a reason to buy them. It is only a matter of time before Trump backs off the stance (on tariffs on India). For investors, it is now too late to cut India exposure with valuations now back near the 10-year average,' Wood said.

One of every 10 Punjabi, Malayalam, Tamil speakers lives out of states: Study
Ahmedabad: The share of total estimated Punjabi diaspora as a percentage of total Punjabi speakers in its core region (Punjab) along with total diaspora is 12.4%, the highest among linguistic diasporas of India. It was followed by 12.2% for Malayalis and 11.5% for Tamils. These three language diasporas have more than 10% of the total speaking population outside of the core region, indicate a study by IIM Ahmedabad (IIM-A) professor Chinmay Tumbe in his latest work. Prof Tumbe took the estimates from multiple sources to derive the figures for 2010 for the comparison with India's language census and highlighted the fact that while the majority of the focus of several studies is on international diaspora, the estimation of internal diaspora is equally important, as they roughly consist of about three times larger population. The findings are part of the recently published study 'The Internal and International Diasporas of India' in the Sage journal 'Sociological Bulletin. ' Prof Tumbe's earlier work includes India Migration Bibliography that covers over 1,000 studies on internal and over 1,500 studies on international migration. He highlights the concept of 'Videsh' (abroad) for the workers – which is not only for those from Uttar Pradesh going to West Indies, but also for the Odia workers making Surat their temporary home with food, language, and custom different from their native places. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo You Can Also Check: Ahmedabad AQI | Weather in Ahmedabad | Bank Holidays in Ahmedabad | Public Holidays in Ahmedabad | Gold Rates Today in Ahmedabad | Silver Rates Today in Ahmedabad Prof Tumbe told TOI that internationally one can find patterns such as Punjabi concentration in Canada or early Gujarati migration to East Africa. "For Bhojpuri speakers, the old colonial migrations took them around the world to the islands and plantation economies in Asia, Africa and South America," he said. Out of nine linguistic groups chosen for the study, Hindi/ Bhojpuri was the biggest segment in international diaspora at 6.4 million, followed by 4.5 million for Tamil, 3 million for Malayalam, 1.9 million for Punjabi, 1.3 million for Gujarati, 1 million for Telugu, 0.5 million for Bengali, and 0.4 million for Kannada and Marathi each. The study highlights concepts such as non-resident Gujaratis to signify sub-groups of Indian diasporas abroad through language, customs, and culture. It adds that the concept does not necessarily include Gujarati community in Madurai district of Tamil Nadu. 'Understanding both the diasporas as an outcome of linguistic dispersion also acknowledges their intimate interlinkages. West Asian oil firms' labour linkages with Kerala and Antwerp's diamond connection with Surat were both facilitated by a sizeable Malayalam and Gujarati diaspora in Mumbai. Internal migration is often the trigger behind international migration for communities and in some cases, even vice-versa,' read the study.
