International Friendship Day 2025: 100 Best images, wishes, quotes and WhatsApp statuses, Instagram captions to celebrate your friends

Internationally, the United Nations has set 30 July as International Friendship Day to highlight how friendships across cultures can foster peace and understanding. The concept was first proposed in the 1930s by Joyce Hall, founder of Hallmark Cards, as a day to send greeting cards to friends. It never quite stuck in the U.S., but gathered momentum in countries such as India, Bangladesh and parts of South America. The UN officially recognised the date in 2011, giving it global resonance.

Trusted credit information: Enabler to inclusive growth
India's digital public infrastructure (DPI) has become a global benchmark for how open, interoperable systems can drive inclusive growth. Aadhaar has transformed identity access; UPI has revolutionised digital payments; DigiLocker and eKYC have simplified consent. These together form the foundational layers of DPI and have enabled individuals to participate in the digital economy with ease. A critical facet of our country's digital-first growth has been the enablement of digital credit, that is backed by a robust credit information system. DPI (Getty Images) Access to affordable, timely credit remains one of the most powerful levers for upward mobility. In the past, millions of Indians remained outside the reach of formal lending institutions, leading to a situation where informal lending systems had taken over the ecosystem thereby exposing the common people to unregulated interest rates and extortion. The government duly recognised this challenge, and an imminent need to bring more people within the formal credit system to steer growth. As a result of concerted efforts, the number of consumers monitoring their credit profile grew by 51% year-over-year in 2024. However, larger challenge was that millions of people were invisible to traditional credit scoring systems because they rely heavily on past borrowing history, which excludes those who primarily transacted in cash or used bank accounts only for basic services. As a result, financial institutions struggled to assess risks. This was promptly addressed through the digital revolution, particularly the growth of digital payments. A broader set of data was now made available for a fuller, real-time view of the borrower's financial behaviour. With consent through Aadhar or eKYC, data has been used to make lending decisions that are faster, fairer, and more inclusive. The traditional credit information ecosystem, particularly credit bureaus, has played a central role in helping lenders assess borrower risk through credit scores and repayment history. These institutions provide structured, regulated, and widely accepted data that underpin a large share of formal credit decisions today. As the financial ecosystem evolves, efforts such as the proposed Public Credit Registry (PCR) and the Account Aggregator (AA) framework aim to complement existing systems by enabling broader, consent-based access to verified financial information. It has been emphasized that building an integrated infrastructure that include alternate data like utility payments and trade credit will enhance risk management and improve inclusion for borrowers with limited credit histories. This is relevant as accurate picture of an individual's or business's financial behaviour enables more responsive and reliable lending decisions. Credit scores remain a core input for most lenders, offering a trusted snapshot of repayment discipline and financial stability. For digital lenders offering products such as Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) or working capital loans, this foundational data helps determine eligibility and pricing. Increasingly, lenders are combining bureau data with other verifiable financial information, such as bank transactions, GST filings, and digitally shared cash flow patterns, to enhance underwriting models and reduce approval times. For instance, a pilot by Capital Float demonstrated how integrating Aadhaar-based eKYC, UPI for payments, and Account Aggregator-enabled data sharing with traditional risk frameworks enabled microloan approvals in as little as 45 seconds. Globally, the case for strong credit information systems is well established. Research indicates that countries with complete credit data coverage see a 47.5% higher private credit-to-GDP ratio than those without. That means more capital flows to small businesses, more households able to invest in education or housing, and greater resilience in the financial system. India's opportunity lies not just in building new systems, but in strengthening and extending the trusted infrastructure already in place. Credit information has played a critical role in enhancing formal lending in our country. To scale trusted and safe credit, a four-pronged strategy is required. First, real-time reporting must become standard across all lenders to match the pace of digital decision-making. Second, interoperability is vital where data should flow seamlessly between banks, NBFCs, fintechs, and platforms, with credit bureaus continuing to play a stabilising role. Third, privacy and consent must remain foundational. And fourth, the system must be accessible to all, with multilingual tools, clear credit report access, and easy dispute resolution. As new credit products have gained ground, the need for a shared, trustworthy credit information backbone becomes even more urgent. This will enable a trust first ecosystem, where borrowers, lenders and regulators can operate with transparency. Access to credit will be the fuel for the next wave of entrepreneurs and industrial growth.

Move over China: iPhones for America now mostly assembled in India, confirms Apple CEO Tim Cook
Getty Images Apple CEO Tim Cook Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed on Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the United States in the past quarter were manufactured in India, signaling a major shift in the company's global supply chain, reported TOI. China, once Apple's dominant manufacturing hub, is now producing primarily for non-US to the TOI report, Cook told analysts after Apple's quarterly earnings call, 'There hasn't been a change to that, which is the vast majority of the iPhone sold in the US or the majority, I should say have a country of origin of India.'The Apple chief added that while India leads iPhone production for the US, Vietnam is the primary source for other Apple products such as MacBooks, iPads, and Apple he said, continues to manufacture most Apple products destined for other international markets. '...the products for other international countries, the vast majority of them are coming from China,' Cook said. This disclosure comes amid criticism from former US President Donald Trump, who earlier this year expressed dissatisfaction over Apple's shift toward Indian manufacturing. 'I had a little problem with Tim Cook... I said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good... but now I hear you are building all over India. I don't want you building in India,' Trump had remarked during his May visit to Doha. Smartphones and electronics, however, remain exempt from the new 25% US tariffs on Indian goods announced earlier this focus on India also extends to its domestic market. Cook said the company continues to see strong revenue growth in India, driven by iPhone sales. 'We saw an acceleration of growth around the world in the vast majority of markets we track... and we had June quarter revenue records in more than two dozen countries and regions, including the US, Canada, Latin America, Western Europe, the Middle East, India, and South Asia," TOI quoted him as saying. India is among Apple's fastest-growing markets, and the company plans to expand its retail footprint in the said iPhone sales grew in every region, with double-digit growth in emerging markets including India, Brazil, South Asia, and the Middle East. Addressing concerns around tariffs, Cook said, 'For the June quarter, we incurred approximately $800 million of tariff-related costs. For the September quarter... we estimate the impact to add about $1.1 billion to our costs.' However, he added that these numbers could vary depending on future tariff policy changes.
