APNRTS aiming to empower Telugu diaspora, increase per capita income by 50 per cent: Ravi Vemuri
In an interview with The Hindu, Ravi Kumar Vemuri, president of the APNRT said that Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has directed the institution to work towards empowering the Telugu diaspora across the world.
Mr. Ravi said that the society will organise a recruiting agents' conclave by inviting agencies in India that provide employment opportunities abroad, and NRIs who are interested to join as recruiting agents in their respective countries. The conclave is likely to be organised within a month. With the help of the conclave, the society is aiming to provide an environment suitable for employment opportunities for the youth of the State, he said.
Stating that new employment opportunities in different sectors have opened up in North America, Europe, and Australia, he advised the youth from A.P. to make the most of what was available.
Explaining that the Chief Minister had instructed to empower the NRIs as entrepreneurs, Mr. Ravi said that the IEC will try to create a platform where the NRIs will be encouraged to start their own business, by using the resources in India, or abroad. All these ideas are at a primary stage and will be refined by taking suggestions from all stakeholders.
The society will also appoint liaison officers, apart from providing certain privileges for NRIs, such as an appreciation letter from Chief Minister for the work delivered by them, interactive session with him, and TTD darsan, among others.

Christian body seeks protection from YSRCP leaders
Chebrolu, (Guntur Dist): Chairman of the Jesus Believers Association Council Prof Joseph Mosiganti issued a statement on Wednesday here, urging the public and the current government to protect Christians from alleged manipulative tactics by YSRCP leaders. Prof Mosiganti asserted that the Christian community, feeling neglected by the previous YSRCP government, is now gravitating towards the Chandrababu Naidu-led administration. To counter this shift and retain the support of the 25 per cent Christian population, the YSRCP leaders are reportedly orchestrating complaints against churches through non-Christians. 'YSRCP leaders are having non-Christians file complaints against churches, citing reasons like lack of permission for churches or the use of loudspeakers,' Mosiganti claimed. 'They are then getting churches closed down in some places. This is being falsely propagated as an increase in attacks on churches under the new coalition government, and the public needs to understand this,' he said. Prof Mosiganti emphasised the positive role of spirituality in society, stating, 'Spirituality guides people to live with peace, contentment, balance, and happiness, without causing harm like alcohol, drugs, prostitution, or smoking.' He advocated for the presence of spiritual centres of all religions in every village, suggesting that both the public and governments should encourage this.

Qualcomm's premium smartphone chip reliance, Apple modem loss overshadow upbeat forecast
By Stephen Nellis and Akash Sriram Qualcomm 's reliance on high-end smartphone chip sales and the looming loss of Apple as a modem customer overshadowed the company's optimistic quarterly forecast on Wednesday, driving shares down more than 6%. The San Diego-based company is the world's largest supplier of modem chips that enable smartphones to connect to wireless data networks. Qualcomm reported its chip segment revenue from non-Apple customers has risen more than 15% so far this fiscal year. Its chip segment sales increase, excluding Apple, "is largely driven by ASP (average selling price) uplift from flagship Android launches rather than broad-based volume recovery," said William McGonigle, analyst at Third Bridge. Taiwan's MediaTek has surpassed Qualcomm this year to become the global leader in smartphone chipset market share, driven by its dominance in affordable and mid-range segments and strong growth in major markets like India, according to Counterpoint Research . Qualcomm reiterated its warning that Apple's shift to its own modem chips in future devices will hit its chip segment revenue. The iPhone 16e, launched earlier this year, was the first Apple smartphone to house a modem developed in-house. Qualcomm forecast September quarter revenue of $10.3 billion to $11.1 billion, compared with analysts' estimates of $10.64 billion, according to LSEG data. The company has not seen signs of customers ordering chips ahead of normal seasonal schedules to try to get ahead of possible tariffs, Chief Financial Officer Akash Palkhiwala told Reuters in an interview. U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies have so far provided exemptions for smartphones and semiconductor chips from these levies. But Trump has issued warnings about potential sector-specific tariffs targeting the industry, saying this month that he would "soon announce tariffs on semiconductors." The tariff situation remains highly fluid and complex, with existing Chinese electronics tariffs still in effect despite the exemptions granted for certain categories. Global smartphone shipments climbed 1% in the second quarter, according to research firm IDC, as Apple, a key Qualcomm customer, accelerated shipments to avoid potential tariff impacts. Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said he expects the company's business to supply chips to augmented-reality glasses such as Meta Ray-Bans to expand. "We have all the designs that matter right now - the number of designs like the Meta glasses is now up to 19, and that continues to accelerate," Amon told Reuters. Qualcomm forecast fiscal fourth-quarter chip segment sales at a midpoint of $9.3 billion, compared with analyst estimates of $9.19 billion, according to Visible Alpha data. The chipmaker reported sales of $10.37 billion for its third quarter ended June 29, beating estimates of $10.35 billion. The company's third-quarter adjusted profit of $2.77 per share topped Wall Street estimates by 6 cents. Qualcomm expects adjusted profit in the fiscal fourth quarter of about $2.85 per share, above estimates of $2.83 per share.
