NFO Alert: Introducing Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund
Risk is often misunderstood as something to be avoided, but in investing, it's the fuel that can power long-term returns.

Invest in Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO The key is not to avoid risk, but to understand it, manage it, and potentially use it to your advantage.

Vodafone Idea shares surge over 15% in 4 days: Here's why
Vodafone Idea shares rallied over 15% in the past four trading sessions to Rs 7.55, driven by reports of a major fund-raising effort and expectations of potential government relief on dues. ADVERTISEMENT According to a Bloomberg report earlier this week, Vodafone Idea is in talks to raise about Rs 25,000 crore ($2.9 billion) in loans to strengthen its network and compete more effectively with rivals Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel. The State Bank of India is expected to lead a consortium of lenders, with the loan likely to be a mix of domestic and foreign borrowings, and a tenure of around 10 years, the report said, citing unnamed sources. Backed by billionaire Kumar Mangalam Birla, Vodafone Idea had previously delayed fund-raising due to concerns over its financial health and large outstanding dues to the government. However, with growing subscriber losses and signs of possible government support, the company has revived its efforts. Also Read: 73% down and still no bottom!

Some media reports suggest the government is considering extending the repayment tenure from six to twenty years.

'Most of the money generated comes from India': Ravi Shastri advocates for larger share of revenue pie for BCCI
File photo of Ravi Shastri. (Reuters) Former India cricket cricketer and head coach Ravi Shastri has defended the International Cricket Council's decision to allocate 38.5 percent of its total revenue to India for the 2024-27 cycle, stating it is fair given India's contribution to cricket's global revenues. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will receive approximately Rs. 1,968 crore annually, which is six times more than England and Wales Cricket Board's 6.89 percent and Cricket Australia's 6.25 percent share. The revenue distribution model, announced in 2023, has sparked discussions in the cricket world, with some boards expressing concerns about the disproportionate allocation. The remaining 12 percent of the revenue is distributed among nine other cricket-playing nations. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Shastri has emphasised that the revenue share should be proportional to the income generated, pointing out that India contributes significantly to cricket's global earnings through television rights and series revenues. "I would want more for India because most of the money that's generated comes from India. So it's only fair that they get their share of pound of flesh. It's relative, it's economies, if tomorrow there might be another economy that's stronger. Money might come from there like it did in the 70s, 80s and the chunk of the money went to, went somewhere else. So I think it's only fair and, it just shows in the revenues when India travel, look at the television rights, look at the television income that comes for an India series. So it's only fair that they get. Whatever they're getting now, if not more," Shastri stated in an interview with Wisden . The distribution model has faced criticism from other cricket boards, particularly those outside the Big Three - India, England, and Australia. These boards argue that the current model could impede cricket's growth in other nations. India Outplayed at Headingley | England Go 1-0 Up in the Series | IND vs ENG 1st Test The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been notably vocal in its opposition to the revenue distribution model. They have demanded more transparency in how the allocation figures were determined. "We are insisting that the ICC should tell us how these figures were arrived at. We are not happy with the situation as it stands. Come June, when the board is expected to approve the financial model, unless these details are provided to us, we are not going to approve it," former PCB chairman Najam Sethi had told Reuters.
