In a post shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) Goenka highlighted a career move mentioned in Huang's LinkedIn profile.

Before starting Nvidia in 1993, Huang worked as a dishwasher, busboy, and waiter at Denny's, a popular American diner chain.

'She is 28, earns ₹1.2 lakh per month': Influencer underscores rising trend of 'sunset chai experience', sparks debate
She doesn't have an MBA. There are no investors or delivery apps. Just a 4x9 ft balcony, a few cups of tea, and a unique idea that's quietly brewing across India. In a world increasingly dominated by startups, side hustles, and screens, one woman in Pune is showing that simple, offline experiences still have the power to win hearts-- and generate income. According to a now-viral LinkedIn post by Nitin Attri, the 28-year-old earns Rs1.2 lakh a month by hosting sunset chai experiences from the balcony of her 2BHK apartment in Pune. There's no fancy cafe, no cloud kitchen, and no elaborate logistics behind her venture. Instead, guests are invited into her home for an intimate gathering over regional teas, snacks, and local stories, with the backdrop of a Pune sunset. Mr Attri shared how she does it. The woman hosts 6–8 guests per session, serves traditional teas and homemade snacks, and shares personal or local stories as part of the experience. She charges between ₹ 1,400 and ₹ 2,000 per person and conducts 3–4 sessions every week. With minimal overhead and no digital marketing budget, her guests find her through Google Maps, Instagram reels, and word-of-mouth. 'People come for chai, but stay for the stories, the city view, and the break from their screens,' writes Attri in his post. What started as a one-woman initiative is now sparking a larger trend. From Kochi to Rishikesh, more Indians are exploring the idea of offering hyper-local, homegrown experiences from their living spaces. Some include live music, poetry, art workshops, or even cooking demos—turning a humble balcony into a cultural micro-hub. 'The balcony becomes the product. The host becomes the brand,' Attri notes. It's part of a broader shift in how people spend their weekends. With increasing screen fatigue and a desire for authentic, meaningful interactions, more urban dwellers are seeking offline, low-stimulation social experiences—and are willing to pay for them. While chai remains the centrepiece, it's clear that this model is about more than a hot beverage. It's about creating community in a fast-paced city, offering exclusivity in small, curated groups and turning everyday spaces into places of warmth and connection. The post caught the attention of internet users. A user commented, 'Love this !! Are we getting back to the good old days, spending time with friends and colleagues... If we are creating this culture, it is a great way of spending good time with like-minded people, discussing books n movies!' Another user wrote, 'People pay for experiences, which might be priceless or people whom they can meet, interact and learn. I remember many were ready to pay a million USD to have dinner with Warren Buffet.' 'Some of the best conversations I've had were whispered into the night air from a quiet balcony. I just love the concept….. a balcony with a view can turn out to be a great place to share your story,' the third user wrote. A section of the internet had a different view on this startup idea. A user wrote, 'Wow now people are making money based on this things but my question if someone has family and has own balcony why he would pay 1500 and go for some other ..May be in teenagers this can be a good idea but there is no scaleablity and longevity in this business model and the group of customers is so limited.' 'To me it appears hyped story,' another user wrote.

New red lines in trade talks
Reacting to the US tariffs for the first time, Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi has reiterated his resolve to protect the interests of India's farm, dairy and fisheries sectors even in the face of adversity. Modi's statement, delivered at a programme marking MS Swaminathan's birth centenary, gives the first official hint that India's refusal to succumb to US demands for opening up these critical sectors was a key factor in Trump's 25% tariffs, on which he added another 25% on Wednesday. Given the fact that trade negotiations between India and US are far from over, the PM's assertion draws an important red line for the terms of the talks. The government of India is absolutely justified in sticking to its position in protecting India's farm, dairy and fisheries sectors which would suffer heavy losses if faced with a deluge of heavily subsidised exports from the agro-industrial complex of countries such as the US. Conceding ground to the US on this could have raised similar demands from other players too. India, the US should be reminded, has been consistent about its position on these issues throughout the long arc of the making and unmaking of the now moribund multilateral trade regime. While the government's position deserves bipartisan support within the country and also from the entire Global South — India played a vanguard role in clinching the Doha agreement in World Trade Organization, which forced the advanced countries to acknowledge the concerns of the poor in the Global South — this is only a necessary and not a sufficient condition for the well-being of the Indian economy and its non-rich stakeholders. Thanks to the Green Revolution and its iterative versions in dairy and fisheries, India is now self-sufficient in food production and even a major exporter of many products. While this has done away with crippling supply-side constraints that the Indian economy used to face until the 1960s, India's current day economic challenge requires solving a second order problem of pushing the envelope on demand to boost mass income levels. It is here that export earnings and tariff-driven disruptions to them can hurt the Indian economy. The government should try and find as good a short-term solution to the American escalation on the tariff front without succumbing to Trump's blatantly unreasonable demand of opening up critical sectors such as farming. But it should also work with the understanding that long-term solutions for the Indian economy have to be outside the farm sector.

Trump tariff hike to 50% on Indian goods sparks calls for self-reliance
US President Donald Trump's executive order imposing an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods—bringing the effective rate to 50 per cent on key exports—has prompted Indian entrepreneurs and startup leaders to call for greater economic independence and reduced reliance on US markets. The tariff escalation, which doubles existing trade barriers, threatens to disrupt India's $80 billion annual exports to the United States and could particularly impact the country's burgeoning technology and e-commerce sectors. Analysts warn that Indian startups with significant US exposure may face immediate headwinds, while companies dependent on American components or customers could see margins compressed. The move has galvanised prominent Indian business leaders to advocate for a more self-reliant economic strategy. Zomato Chief Executive Deepinder Goyal said the tariffs represent a broader pattern of global powers attempting to constrain India's growth ambitions. 'Global powers will always bully us, unless we take our destiny in our own hands,' Goyal wrote in a LinkedIn post, calling for India to "become the world's largest, most unapologetic superpower" in economy and technology. Ronnie Screwvala, founder of education technology company upGrad, characterised the US as a 'fair-weather country' and urged Indian entrepreneurs to view the trade tensions as an opportunity to strengthen domestic markets and reduce foreign dependence. He called for unleashing entrepreneurship to build India's consumption story, particularly by targeting the country's 600 million rural population. The tariff increase comes as India's startup ecosystem has grown increasingly integrated with global supply chains and US investment flows, raising questions about how quickly companies can pivot toward domestic and alternative international markets. Indian exporters are possibly set to face a setback from the US's latest tariff hikes, which will be implemented in two phases—an additional 25 per cent from 8 August and increased to 50 per cent by 27 August, according to consulting firm EY. 'These sharp increases in import duties are expected to affect not only traditional sectors but also India's growing startup ecosystem, with startups in skincare, wellness, personal care and FMCG among those particularly impacted,' said Vimal Pruthi, partner, international trade, EY India. Pruthi said Indian textiles may lose price competitiveness, as Bangladesh and Vietnam face only 20 per cent tariffs—far lower than India's revised 59 per cent. Similarly, Indian marine exports risk losing US market share with tariffs rising to 58.26 per cent, while countries like Ecuador face just 15 per cent. A jump to 52 per cent duty on gems and jewellery could shift US sourcing to China and the UAE, which face much lower tariffs. He added that the recent tariffs pose challenges for Indian electronics and IT hardware exports by potentially increasing costs and affecting competitiveness. While IT services aren't directly impacted, Pruthi said the measures may discourage foreign investment in Indian tech manufacturing. 'The long-term effects will largely depend on trade negotiations and India's success in diversifying its export markets,' he said. Jaideep Kewalramani, head of the employability business and chief operating officer at TeamLease EdTech, said the new tariffs threaten to erode profit margins and competitiveness for startups in technology, food and beverage, textiles and jewellery. 'With this change, margin absorption becomes an impossibility, and the bulk of the load will move to the consumer, pushing them toward alternate providers,' said Kewalramani. 'Most players will lose out right out of the gate when marketplace algorithms downgrade their products due to pricing. Someone who was selling, let's say, tea at $9.99, will fall off the grid.' He said startups can find alternate markets, but the next few days will require significant adjustment. 'The worry is that cash-strapped startups should not go under before they can pivot. The entire ecosystem—venture capitalists, bankers, advisors, supply chain providers, platforms et al—must come together to ensure startups can weather this storm,' Kewalramani added. Vijay Kumar, CEO of the Express Industry Council of India, said once the tariffs kick in, sectors like garments, auto components, leather and handicrafts—served by the express industry—could be impacted. 'There is no doubt that the impact would be substantial if and when the additional 25 per cent becomes effective,' Kumar said. India has been focused on the China+1 strategy for the past two to three years, with several startups engaging in contract manufacturing across sectors to serve export markets. Several marketplaces have also emerged targeting this corridor. 'Some of these will need to recalibrate their business models to align with the new world view—more focus on domestic consumption, more streamlined supply chains, and diversification of target markets to navigate the recent turbulence,' said Pearl Agarwal, founder and managing partner at Eximius Ventures. However, she added that enterprise SaaS and tech companies remain relatively insulated. 'As a VC, we are diligently watching the foreign exchange rate as well, given that the capital supply for this sector has historically been global.'
