Indian-origin man fired by Elon Musk makes a comeback with ₹260 crore AI startup
Former Twitter chief executive Parag Agrawal, who was dismissed by Elon Musk following his $44 billion takeover of the platform in 2022, has re-emerged with a bold new venture. The Indian-origin technologist has launched Parallel Web Systems Inc., a Palo Alto-based startup building infrastructure tools for artificial intelligence companies. Agrawal, who began his career as a Twitter engineer before rising to CEO in 2021, kept a low profile after being removed when Musk.(ICPC News) A ₹ 260 crore bet on AI infrastructure Founded in 2023, Parallel has already raised $30 million (around ₹260 crore) from prominent investors, including Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, and Index Ventures, according to Bloomberg and TechCrunch. The startup's mission is to help AI systems conduct large-scale research across the web, a core challenge as demand for real-time, high-quality data accelerates. Mobile finder: Google Pixel 10 series launching later this week Agrawal, who began his career as a Twitter engineer before rising to CEO in 2021, kept a low profile after being removed when Musk restructured the company, now rebranded as X. His return with Parallel marks a significant shift, from leading a social media giant to building the digital backbone for AI research. Parallel's focus on 'web intelligence' In a recent LinkedIn post, Agrawal described Parallel's goal as enabling companies to harness 'web intelligence' for their products. He noted that the platform already powers millions of research tasks daily for startups and enterprises. One unnamed public company, he claimed, has integrated Parallel's system to automate workflows previously handled by humans, achieving results 'exceeding human-level accuracy.' The company's tools are designed to plug directly into AI platforms and agents, giving them the ability to retrieve, organise, and analyse online information at scale. This functionality is increasingly vital as chatbots, virtual assistants, and enterprise AI products rely on dynamic web data rather than static training sets. A comeback in Silicon Valley's AI race For Agrawal, Parallel is more than a business, it's a comeback. His short and turbulent tenure at Twitter ended abruptly in late 2022, when Musk dismissed top executives after completing the acquisition. With Parallel, he is repositioning himself as a founder in one of the fastest-growing segments of the AI industry. Still, competition looms large. Parallel will face rivals offering retrieval APIs, as well as AI model developers building similar capabilities in-house. Yet, with strong investor backing, early traction, and Agrawal's technical reputation, the startup has already drawn attention as one of Silicon Valley's most ambitious AI bets in 2025.

Vodafone Idea Q1 results: Analysts view Kranti Bathini, director-equity strategy, WealthMills Securities, believes that the damage level for Vi has come down in the quarter under review, but the business is yet to stabilise. Bathini suggests that Vi shares are more suitable for high-risk appetite investors and speculators. He also said that one should monitor improvement in the growth prospects. Independent market analyst Ambareesh Baliga recommended avoiding Vodafone Idea shares post its Q1. The company, according to Baliga, has a long way to catch up, as there is no clear sign as to when the company will be profitable and when the accumulated losses will be cleared.

Qantas fined $59 million for illegally sacking 1,800 staff during Covid
A judge on Monday fined Qantas Airways 90 million Australian dollars ($59 million) for illegally firing more than 1,800 ground staff at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The penalty is in addition to the AUD 120 million ($78 million) in compensation that Australia's biggest airline had already agreed to pay its former employees. Australian Federal Court Justice Michael Lee said the outsourcing of 1,820 baggage handler and cleaner jobs at Australian airports in late 2020 was the largest and most significant contravention of relevant Australian labour laws in their 120-year history. Qantas agreed in December last year to pay AUD 120 million ($78 million) in compensation to former staff after seven High Court judges unanimously rejected the Sydney-based airline's appeal against the judgment that outsourcing their jobs was illegal. The Transport Workers Union, which took the airline to court, had argued the airline should receive the largest fine available AUD 121,212,000 ($78,969,735). Lee ruled that the minimum fine to create a deterrence should be AUD 90 million ($59 million), noting that Qantas executives had expected to save AUD 125 million ($81 million) a year through outsourcing the jobs. Lee questioned the sincerity of Qantas's apology for its illegal conduct, noting that the airline later unsuccessfully argued that it owed no compensation to its former staff. If any further evidence was needed of the unrelenting and aggressive litigation strategy adopted in this case by Qantas, it is provided by this effort directed to denying any compensation whatsoever to those in respect of whom Qantas was publicly professing regret for their misfortune, Lee said. "I do think that the people in charge of Qantas now have some genuine regret, but this more likely reflects the damage that this case has done to the company rather than remorse for the damage done to the affected workers, Lee added. Qantas chief executive Vanessa Hudson, who was the airline's chief financial officer during the layoffs, said in a statement after Monday's decision: We sincerely apologise to each and every one of the 1,820 ground handling employees and to their families who suffered as a result. The decision to outsource five years ago, particularly during such an uncertain time, caused genuine hardship for many of our former team and their families," she said. Over the past 18 months we've worked hard to change the way we operate as part of our efforts to rebuild trust with our people and our customers. This remains our highest priority as we work to earn back the trust we lost, she added. Lee ruled that AUD 50 million ($33 million) of the fine go to the union, because no Australian government agency had shown interest in investigating or prosecuting Qantas. But for the union , Qantas' contravening conduct would never have been exposed and it would never have been held to account for its unlawful conduct, Lee said. Hence the union has brought to the attention of the court a substantial and significant transgression of a public obligation by a powerful and substantial employer, Lee added. A hearing will be held at a later date to decide where the remaining AUD 40 million ($26 million) of the fine will go. Michael Kaine, national secretary of the union that represents 60,000 members, said he felt vindicated by Monday's ruling, which ends a five-year legal battle that Qantas had been widely expected to win. It is a significant the most significant industrial outcome in Australia's history and it sends a really clear message to Qantas and to every employer in Australia: Treat your work force illegally and you will be held accountable, Kaine told reporters. Against all the odds, we took on a behemoth that had shown itself to be ruthless and we won, Kaine added. Qantas has admitted illegally dealing with passengers as well as employees in its responses to pandemic economic challenges. Last year, Qantas agreed to pay AUD 120 million ($78 million) in compensation and a fine for selling tickets on thousands of cancelled flights. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, a consumer watchdog, sued the airline in the Federal Court alleging that Qantas engaged in false, misleading or deceptive conduct by advertising tickets for more than 8,000 flights from May 2021 through to July 2022 that had already been cancelled.
