Illustrating his point, Mr Doshi cited notable figures: Anand Mahindra, who studied film studies before leading Mahindra & Mahindra; Jack Ma, who majored in English before founding Alibaba; and Sundar Pichai, who pursued metallurgical engineering before heading Google. "Because all these three gentlemen did something which they enjoyed, they excelled," he noted. Their passion led them to top business schools and successful careers.
Mr Doshi concluded, "What you study at an undergraduate degree, where you study is honestly irrelevant. It is how well you do which is most important. And you will always do well in something that you enjoy."

Alibaba launches open-source AI coding model, touted as its most advanced to date
Alibaba Group announced on Wednesday the launch of Qwen3-Coder, an open-source artificial intelligence model for software development that the Chinese e-commerce giant described as its most advanced coding tool to date. The launch comes amid intensifying competition among Chinese technology companies in the global AI development race, with firms on both sides of the Pacific releasing increasingly sophisticated models. Qwen3-Coder is designed for software development tasks such as code generation and managing complex coding workflows, Alibaba said in a statement. The company positioned the model as particularly strong in 'agentic AI coding tasks,' automated processes where AI systems can work independently on programming challenges. According to performance data released by Alibaba, Qwen3-Coder outperformed domestic competitors, including models from DeepSeek and Moonshot AI's K2 in key coding capabilities. The company also claimed its model matched the performance of leading U.S. models, including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT-4 in certain areas.

M&M Financial share drops 3% on mixed Q1 nos; should you buy, sell or hold?
Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services share price: Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services share price was in focus on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, with the scrip dropping up to 2.93 per cent to an intraday low of 257.80 per share, nearing its 52-week low of 235.47. At 9:20 AM, Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services share was trading 1.75 per cent lower at 260.95. In comparison, BSE Sensex was up 0.30 per cent at 82,429.66 levels M&M Financial Q1 results Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services (MMFS) reported a modest 3 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) rise in net profit to ₹530 crore for the quarter ended June 2025 (Q1FY26). However, on a sequential basis, net profit declined 6 per cent. Total income for the quarter increased 18 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹4,438 crore, while total expenses rose at a faster pace of 22 per cent to ₹3,744 crore. Net interest income (NII) grew 18 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹2,285 crore. However, credit costs spiked to ₹660 crore from ₹448 crore in the same period last year. Disbursements for the quarter came in at ₹12,808 crore, registering a 1 per cent Y-o-Y rise but falling 18 per cent sequentially. The company attributed the sequential dip to a slowdown in the underlying wheels business. The gross loan book expanded 15 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹1.22 trillion and grew 2 per cent quarter-on-quarter. Its MSME asset book grew 28 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹6,523 crore as of June 30, 2025, led by secured products like Loan Against Property (LAP), which now forms 44 per cent of total SME assets, up from 33 per cent last year. Stage 3 assets in this segment stood at 1.4 per cent, reflecting strong asset quality. Collection efficiency improved slightly to 95 per cent, up from 94 per cent in Q1FY25. Brokerages' view Motilal Oswal The company reported an operationally soft quarter with tepid disbursements and loan growth, according to analysts at Motilal Oswal. Asset quality weakened seasonally due to elevated credit costs, higher slippages, and persistent write-offs. On the positive side, net interest margin (NIM) expanded about 10 bps Q-o-Q, and management remains confident that NIM has bottomed out and is poised to improve. While loan growth and credit costs remain uncertain, a projected PAT CAGR of about 21 per cent over FY25–27 and RoA/RoE of 2.2 per cent/13 per cent in FY27E support a 'Buy' rating with a target price of ₹310 (1.6x Mar'27E BV). The M&M Financial stock is currently trading at 1.3x FY27E P/BV. Nuvama Those at Nuvama said, M&M Financial beat estimates on NII and pre-provision operating profit (PPOP), but missed on credit costs, which came in at 1.9 per cent – above the guided 1.5-1.7 per cent range. Still, given a tough operating environment and stable Stage 3 ECL at 51.4 per cent, the outcome is seen as acceptable. Disbursements remained weak (up 1 per cent Y-o-Y / down 18 per cent Q-o-Q). Reported spread improved 20 bps Q-o-Q, and PPOP rose 19 per cent Y-o-Y / 11 per cent Q-o-Q. PAT grew 3 per cent Y-o-Y but declined 6 per cent sequentially. Stage 2+3 ECL remained steady at 78.8 per cent versus 78.4 per cent Q-o-Q. Thus, analysts at Nuvama maintained a 'Hold' rating with a target price of ₹280 (1.6x FY26E BV), with growth momentum and credit cost normalisation as key monitorables.
