										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2></h2>
<p>Campbell Wilson has resigned as CEO and Managing Director of Air India, a decision that comes amid ongoing challenges for the airline, including significant losses and regulatory scrutiny. Wilson informed N. Chandrasekaran of his decision to step down in 2024, stating that it was the right time to hand over the reins for Air India&#8217;s next phase of growth.</p>
<p>Wilson, who was appointed as CEO and MD in July 2022, will remain in his role until a successor is appointed. His tenure follows the Tata Group&#8217;s acquisition of Air India from the government in January 2022, a move that aimed to revitalize the airline.</p>
<p>Under Wilson&#8217;s leadership, Air India has seen the complete modernization of its systems and the addition of 100 aircraft to its fleet. The airline currently has a substantial order book of 600 aircraft, indicating a commitment to expanding its operations.</p>
<p>However, Air India has faced significant challenges, including a tragic crash that resulted in the deaths of 241 of the 242 persons on board. This incident has contributed to the ongoing scrutiny the airline is experiencing.</p>
<p>In his resignation announcement, Wilson expressed pride in the achievements made during his tenure, particularly in the face of unprecedented headwinds. He emphasized that the time is right for a leadership transition as the airline prepares for its next phase of growth.</p>
<p>The resignation marks a pivotal moment for Air India, as it seeks to navigate its ongoing difficulties while aiming for a brighter future. Details remain unconfirmed regarding potential candidates for Wilson&#8217;s successor and the strategic direction the airline will take moving forward.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Recent developments in the boardroom of TVS Holdings highlight governance issues raised by Lakshmi Venu, impacting company operations.</p>
<p>The post <a href="https://newscricket.org/2026/04/03/lakshmi-venu-tvs/">Lakshmi venu tvs: Lakshmi Venu and TVS Holdings: Boardroom Dynamics</a> appeared first on <a href="https://newscricket.org">newscri</a>.</p>
]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The recent boardroom dynamics at TVS Holdings have brought significant governance concerns to the forefront, particularly following the intervention of Lakshmi Venu. Her actions have led to the reinstatement of the company secretary as a full-time employee, a decision that underscores the ongoing governance challenges within the organization.</p>
<p>On April 2, 2026, the board of TVS Holdings convened twice within three days to address the resignation and subsequent reinstatement of the company secretary. This rapid succession of meetings reflects the urgency of the situation and the potential implications for the company&#8217;s governance structure. An unnamed source noted, &#8220;Lakshmi had raised the issue. She’s very process-oriented and governance-oriented, hence she raised it.&#8221; This statement highlights her commitment to ensuring that governance protocols are adhered to within the organization.</p>
<p>The backdrop to these developments includes a notable shift in leadership at Sundaram Clayton, a key subsidiary of TVS Holdings. Venu Srinivasan, who has been a prominent figure in the company, was appointed executive chairman of Sundaram Clayton on March 30, 2026, following the resignation of R Gopalan as chairman. This change has placed Gopalan, an independent director, in a sensitive position, as the board navigates the complexities of governance and leadership.</p>
<p>Under a family arrangement established in 2022, Lakshmi Venu was tasked with leading Sundaram Clayton, while Sudarshan Venu took charge of TVS Holdings, the group&#8217;s key investment arm. This family-driven leadership structure has raised questions about the dynamics between family members and their influence on corporate governance. As Lakshmi Venu continues to lead operations at Sundaram Clayton without any role change, the implications of these leadership shifts are yet to be fully understood.</p>
<p>TVS Holdings, which has a market capitalization of ₹19,500.45 crore, reported revenues of ₹2,109.14 crore for FY25, with a Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 75.40. These financial metrics indicate the company&#8217;s robust performance, yet the ongoing governance issues could pose risks to its stability and growth. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is reportedly monitoring these governance concerns closely, which adds another layer of scrutiny to the situation.</p>
<p>As the boardroom dynamics continue to evolve, the long-term impact on TVS Holdings&#8217; governance and operations remains unclear. Details remain unconfirmed regarding how these changes will affect the company&#8217;s strategic direction and stakeholder confidence. The developments have sparked discussions among industry observers about the importance of governance in maintaining corporate integrity and performance.</p>
<p>In summary, the interplay between Lakshmi Venu and the leadership at TVS Holdings highlights critical governance issues that could shape the company&#8217;s future. As stakeholders await further developments, the focus remains on how these dynamics will influence the overall governance landscape within the organization.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2></h2>
<p>Nandita Sinha is expected to step down as CEO of Myntra in the coming weeks, marking a significant leadership change for the e-commerce platform. Sinha, who has been with the Flipkart group since 2013 and took on the role of Myntra&#8217;s CEO in 2022, is anticipated to be succeeded by Sharon Pais, who is currently viewed as the frontrunner for the position.</p>
<p>Under Sinha&#8217;s leadership, Myntra reported a revenue of ₹6,043 crore for FY25, reflecting an 18% rise compared to the previous year. The company also achieved a net profit of ₹548 crore during the same period, showcasing its growth trajectory in the competitive online fashion market.</p>
<p>In addition to her role at Myntra, Sinha assumed responsibility for leading Flipkart Fashion in August 2024, further expanding her influence within the Flipkart group. However, her departure from Myntra raises questions about her future with the Flipkart group as a whole.</p>
<p>The leadership transition comes on the heels of other significant changes within Myntra, including the departure of Abhishek Gupta, the former CFO, earlier this year. Kannan Ganesan was subsequently appointed as the new CFO, indicating a broader restructuring within the company.</p>
<p>As Myntra prepares for a potential public listing within the next 12 to 15 months, the stability of its leadership team will be crucial. Flipkart is aiming for an ambitious IPO valuation of $70 billion, making the upcoming months critical for the company.</p>
<p>Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact date of Sinha&#8217;s departure and whether she will exit the Flipkart group entirely. Observers are closely watching the situation as Myntra navigates this pivotal moment in its corporate history.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Oracle has announced substantial layoffs, impacting around 12,000 employees in India as part of a global reduction expected to reach 30,000.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2></h2>
<p>Oracle has made significant job cuts across markets, with global layoffs expected to touch <strong>30,000</strong> employees. In India alone, around <strong>12,000</strong> employees are believed to have been laid off, marking a nearly <strong>50 percent</strong> reduction in the company&#8217;s workforce in the region.</p>
<p>The layoffs span a wide range of roles, including engineers, architects, program managers, and operations leaders. According to senior manager Michael Shepherd, &#8220;The layoffs were not performance based,&#8221; indicating that the cuts are part of a broader restructuring strategy.</p>
<p>Oracle&#8217;s job cuts reflect a wider pattern across the technology sector amid rising AI adoption. Mike Sicilia, a senior executive, noted that &#8220;AI tools are enabling smaller teams to deliver more output, reducing the need for large engineering groups.&#8221; This shift is influencing workforce requirements across the industry.</p>
<p>The severance package for affected employees in India includes 15 days’ salary for each year of service, notice pay, leave encashment, gratuity where applicable, and an additional two-month salary top-up. This package aims to provide some financial support to those impacted by the layoffs.</p>
<p>Despite the job cuts, Oracle is planning to invest at least <strong>$50 billion</strong> in infrastructure this year and has raised an additional <strong>$50 billion</strong> in debt to meet growing demand. The company&#8217;s total debt has now crossed <strong>$100 billion</strong>, following <strong>$58 billion</strong> in new issuances tied to data center investments.</p>
<p>Oracle is also part of the $500 billion Stargate initiative, aimed at building data center capacity to support future AI workloads. Additionally, the company has committed <strong>$2 billion</strong> in Germany and <strong>$8 billion</strong> in Japan toward AI and cloud expansion, indicating a continued focus on growth despite the layoffs.</p>
<p>Details remain unconfirmed regarding further layoffs in India, which are expected within weeks. The exact impact on Indian workers in overseas roles is also unclear, leaving many employees anxious about their job security.</p>
<p>As Oracle navigates this challenging landscape, observers will be watching closely to see how these changes affect the company&#8217;s operations and its workforce in the coming months.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>ITC Limited, a major Indian conglomerate, has decided to dissolve its US-based subsidiary Blazeclan Americas Inc. as part of its strategic restructuring.</p>
<p>The post <a href="https://newscricket.org/2026/03/31/itc-limited-announces-dissolution-of-blazeclan-americas-inc/">ITC Limited Announces Dissolution of Blazeclan Americas Inc.</a> appeared first on <a href="https://newscricket.org">newscri</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The wider picture</h2>
<p>ITC Limited, headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, is a diversified Indian conglomerate operating across various sectors, including fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), hotels, paperboards and packaging, agribusiness, and information technology. The company has been a significant player in the Indian market, with a market capitalization of approximately Rs. 360,472.80 crore.</p>
<p>Recently, ITC Limited announced the dissolution of its US-based step-down subsidiary, Blazeclan Americas Inc., effective March 24, 2026. This decision comes less than two years after Blazeclan Americas became a step-down subsidiary of ITC in October 2024. The dissolution reflects ITC&#8217;s ongoing strategic restructuring efforts, focusing on core business areas.</p>
<p>Blazeclan Americas reported a total income of Rs. 4.38 crore for the fiscal year 2024-25, which accounted for only 0.006% of ITC’s consolidated income. This minimal contribution likely influenced the decision to dissolve the subsidiary, as ITC aims to streamline its operations and enhance overall profitability.</p>
<p>In its latest financial results, ITC Limited reported a flat net profit of Rs. 4,931 crore for the third quarter of FY2026. The company’s revenue from operations grew by 7.1% year-on-year, reaching Rs. 21,577.58 crore in Q3 FY26. Despite the growth in revenue, the flat net profit may have prompted a reevaluation of its subsidiaries and investments.</p>
<p>Market analysts have taken note of ITC&#8217;s recent performance, with MarketsMOJO rating ITC Ltd. as &#8216;Sell&#8217; as of March 26, 2026. This rating indicates a cautious outlook on the company&#8217;s stock, suggesting that investors may be wary of its future performance amid ongoing restructuring.</p>
<p>Observers in the financial sector anticipate that the dissolution of Blazeclan Americas will allow ITC to reallocate resources more effectively and focus on its more profitable segments. The move is seen as a necessary step in adapting to the evolving market landscape and enhancing shareholder value.</p>
<p>As ITC Limited continues to navigate its strategic direction, the implications of this dissolution will likely unfold in the coming months. Stakeholders will be closely monitoring the company&#8217;s performance and any further adjustments to its business strategy.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>KPMG UK is proposing layoffs that could affect nearly 600 audit staff, with up to 440 employees expected to leave following consultation.</p>
<p>The post <a href="https://newscricket.org/2026/03/29/kpmg-uk-layoffs/">KPMG UK layoffs</a> appeared first on <a href="https://newscricket.org">newscri</a>.</p>
]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2></h2>
<p><strong>&#8220;Current market conditions mean our attrition rates are very low within certain parts of our audit population, which is why we are proposing to right-size those areas,&#8221;</strong> said a spokesperson for KPMG UK.</p>
<p>The firm has warned nearly 600 audit staff that their roles are at risk, with up to 440 employees potentially leaving the company after a consultation period. This move is part of a broader trend affecting the auditing industry, which has seen significant cuts in recent months.</p>
<p>The layoffs would impact approximately 6 percent of the audit division&#8217;s workforce, which totals around 7,100 employees. The cuts are primarily focused on assistant managers who are qualified accountants.</p>
<p>In addition to the audit staff reductions, KPMG is also set to eliminate 120 roles across its advisory arm, further indicating the firm&#8217;s efforts to streamline operations amid changing market dynamics.</p>
<p>KPMG&#8217;s decision comes as the consulting industry has been quietly retracting after years of rapid hiring. The firm has already made the steepest cuts in 2023 compared to its competitors, including Deloitte, EY, and PwC.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;This isn’t a decision we take lightly, and we will support our people throughout this consultation,&#8221;</strong> the spokesperson added, emphasizing the firm&#8217;s commitment to its employees during this challenging time.</p>
<p>Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact timeline for the consultation process. As KPMG navigates these changes, the impact on its workforce and the broader implications for the auditing sector remain to be seen.</p>
<p>The layoffs reflect a significant shift in the industry, as firms adjust to new economic realities and changing client demands. KPMG&#8217;s actions may set a precedent for other companies in the sector as they evaluate their staffing needs moving forward.</p>
<p>As the situation develops, stakeholders will be closely monitoring KPMG&#8217;s next steps and the outcomes of the consultation process.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Reaction from the field</h2>
<p>Thomas Cook (India) Limited has taken a decisive step to bolster its financial commitment to its joint venture, Indian Horizon Marketing Services Limited (IHMSL), by authorizing an investment of INR 2.50 Crore. This move is particularly significant given that the turnover for IHMSL has been reported as NIL for the past three financial years, raising questions about the viability of the joint venture.</p>
<p>The investment is structured as a subscription to 25,00,000 Class A Equity Shares at a face value of Rs. 10/- each. Following this preferential allotment, Thomas Cook will retain 100% shareholding in the Class A Equity segment of the joint venture, indicating a strong belief in the potential future of IHMSL.</p>
<p>The total consideration for this preferential allotment amounts to INR 2,50,00,000 (Two Crore Fifty Lakhs Only), which underscores Thomas Cook&#8217;s ongoing commitment to the joint venture despite its lack of revenue generation in recent years. This investment solidifies the company’s financial commitment to the entity, suggesting a long-term strategy to revitalize IHMSL&#8217;s operations.</p>
<p>IHMSL has been a joint venture between Thomas Cook (India) Limited and Atirath Technologies Private Limited since its incorporation on December 26, 1989. The long-standing partnership reflects a shared vision, although the financial performance has not met expectations in recent times.</p>
<p>The formal allotment of the new shares is expected to be completed by April 8, 2026. This timeline provides a clear indication of the company&#8217;s intent to move forward with its investment plans promptly. Stakeholders will be watching closely to see how this infusion of capital will be utilized to enhance the operational capabilities of IHMSL.</p>
<p>As Thomas Cook (India) Limited continues to navigate the complexities of the travel and tourism industry, this investment could represent a pivotal moment for IHMSL, provided that strategic measures are implemented to generate revenue. The company’s commitment to maintaining full control over the Class A equity shares may also indicate a desire to steer the joint venture in a new direction.</p>
<p>Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific strategies that will be employed to turn around the fortunes of IHMSL. However, the investment signifies a willingness to invest in the future, which could potentially lead to new opportunities in the market.</p>

<p>OnePlus has aligned more closely with its parent company Oppo, with leadership changes and restructuring occurring. Recently, Robin Liu, the CEO of OnePlus India, announced his resignation effective March 31, 2026, after seven years in the role. This development has raised concerns about the company&#8217;s future, particularly regarding its operations in global markets.</p>
<p>Following Liu&#8217;s resignation, OnePlus India is pivoting to an online-dominant sales model, which suggests a significant shift in its business strategy. Reports indicate that OnePlus may exit several global markets by 2026 to focus more on China and India, with a possible shutdown of its smartphone operations in these regions as early as April 2026.</p>
<p>Selected employees have been informed in advance of the anticipated shutdown, with some receiving severance packages. This move has sparked a surge in searches for &#8220;OnePlus shutdown&#8221; on Google Trends, reflecting public concern over the company&#8217;s stability.</p>
<p>In a previous statement, Liu dismissed claims of OnePlus exiting the Indian market as false, asserting, &#8220;Recent unverified reports claiming OnePlus is shutting down are false.&#8221; He emphasized the company&#8217;s commitment to continuing operations, stating, &#8220;I wanted to address some misinformation that has been circulating about OnePlus India and its operations. We&#8217;re operating as usual and will continue to do so. Never Settle.&#8221; Liu also urged stakeholders to verify information from official sources before sharing unsubstantiated claims.</p>
<p>OnePlus has operated as a sub-brand of Oppo since 2021, and broader market conditions are influencing its decision to restructure. The partnership with Hasselblad on recent OnePlus devices has ended, although it continues on Oppo flagship smartphones.</p>
<p>Despite the restructuring, OnePlus has assured customers that it will continue to guarantee after-sales support, software updates, and user rights commitments. However, the exact timeline for the potential shutdown of operations in global markets is unclear. Details remain unconfirmed.</p>
<p>The impact on existing users, including software update commitments and access to community forums, remains uncertain as the company navigates these changes.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2></h2>
<p>What does the recent decline in Jagran Prakashan Ltd&#8217;s stock signify for the company and its investors? The stock has fallen to a 52-week low of Rs 59.72, indicating significant challenges in the current market environment.</p>
<p>Today, the stock declined by 2.06%, reflecting a broader downturn in the Printing &#038; Publishing sector, which fell by 2.36%. The Sensex also experienced a decline of 2.52%, closing at 72,653.51.</p>
<p>Jagran Prakashan Ltd has reported a one-year return of -15.80%, which raises questions about its financial health. The stock is currently trading below all key moving averages, further complicating its outlook.</p>
<p>Historically, the company reached a 52-week high of Rs 83.99, but recent performance has led to concerns about its profitability. The dividend yield stands at 9.8%, and the debt to equity ratio is 0.0, indicating a stable financial structure but potentially limited growth prospects.</p>
<p>In its latest financial results, Jagran Prakashan Ltd reported a 7.7% year-on-year decline in net sales, totaling Rs 476.71 crores. Additionally, net profit after tax (PAT) contracted by 13.5% to Rs 54.12 crores, highlighting ongoing profitability issues.</p>
<p>Jagran Prakashan Ltd is navigating a difficult period marked by declining sales and profits. Investors are left to ponder whether the decline in core profitability is a one-quarter anomaly or indicative of a more significant structural revenue problem.</p>
<p>Details remain unconfirmed regarding whether the technical picture suggests any near-term relief or further downside risk. Furthermore, how the quality metrics reconcile with the ongoing price weakness remains uncertain.</p>
<p>As the company continues to face these challenges, stakeholders are keenly watching for any signs of recovery or further decline in performance.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>How it unfolded</h2>
<p>In recent months, OnePlus has faced significant challenges in the competitive smartphone market, leading to a series of strategic decisions that have culminated in the announcement of its shutdown in key global markets. The company has reportedly been losing market share to competitors, with a notable decline in shipments. In 2025, OnePlus recorded a 32% decline in shipments according to Cybermedia Research, while IDC estimated a 38.8% decline on a year-over-year basis.</p>
<p>As the situation unfolded, it became clear that OnePlus was reevaluating its business strategy. The company had previously scaled back its European operations in 2020 following the exit of co-founder Carl Pei. This decision was part of a broader trend of the company struggling to maintain its foothold in the market. In light of these challenges, OnePlus has decided to focus its efforts on the entry- and mid-range market in India.</p>
<p>On March 31, 2026, Robin Liu, the CEO of OnePlus India, stepped down from his position, marking a significant leadership change within the company. Liu&#8217;s departure was confirmed by OnePlus, which expressed gratitude for his contributions and wished him well in his future endeavors. His exit comes just ahead of the planned shutdown, which is expected to commence on April 1, 2026.</p>
<p>Selected staff members have already been informed about the shutdown decision, with some receiving severance packages as the company prepares for the transition. While the shutdown will affect operations in various global markets, OnePlus&#8217;s business in China will remain unaffected, allowing the company to continue its operations in one of its most significant markets.</p>
<p>In a statement, industry analyst Yogesh Brar noted, &#8220;OnePlus is shutting down in select global markets. China business will stay unaffected. India market will mostly get budget &#038; mid-range products.&#8221; This shift indicates a strategic pivot towards markets where OnePlus believes it can be more competitive.</p>
<p>In addition to the operational shutdown, OnePlus has also cancelled plans for upcoming products, including the OnePlus Open 2 and OnePlus 15s. This decision reflects the company&#8217;s need to streamline its offerings and focus on its core markets amid declining sales and increased competition.</p>
<p>As the company navigates this transition, uncertainties remain regarding the exact timeline for the shutdown and the impact on existing hardware support and software updates. Details remain unconfirmed, leaving customers and stakeholders awaiting further information on how these changes will affect their products and services.</p>
<p>The sequence of events surrounding OnePlus&#8217;s decision to shut down operations in key global markets is significant for the company and its stakeholders. It highlights the challenges faced by brands in the competitive smartphone landscape and underscores the importance of strategic adaptability in response to market dynamics.</p>
