Olympic medalists Neeraj, Nadeem feature on Aaghaz-e-Dosti's 13th Indo-Pak peace calendar
CHANDIGARH: This year, the 13th Indo-Pak peace calendar by Aaghaz-e-Dosti features a painting of Indias Javelin star Neeraj Chopra's mother with her hands draped across the shoulders of Neeraj and Pakistans Arshad Nadeem; the men had claimed the silver and gold medals respectively at the Paris Olympics 2024. A letter exchange program took place between students of school at Phaltan in Maharashtra and Lahore. More schools from either country will get connected to each other via video conferencing and encourage students to share their experiences and aspirations. The peace calendar, launched on Sunday in Gurugram included six paintings by Indian and six more by Pakistani students. The calendar is to be released in Pakistan soon. This Indo-Pak Peace calendar is an initiative by the civil society to cultivate a culture of peace and includes messages from eminent persons who support peace-building and co-existence. Talking to TNIE , Ravi Nitesh founder of Aaghaz-e-Dosti said, We observed a few unique things this year: Students were painting even on contemporary issues. For example, Sirjan Kaur, a student from Swami Sant Das Public School in Jalandhar, Punjab, has made a painting of Neeraj Chopra's mother showing her hands upon the shoulders of Neeraj and Nadeem, saying 'both are my sons. This is a beautiful thing that young students are aware about these issues and linking such chains where they see peace and bonding. This year, we also brought Nest Man of India Rakesh Khatri and people from the International Watercolor Society to open new avenues of linking both sides which young citizens need to know, he said. Nitesh said, The events create a culture of peace, as schools follow up with Aaghaz-e-Dosti for more activities. Recently, we facilitated a letter exchange program between Sajnjan Nagar Public School in Lahore and Kamla Nimbkar Balbhavan at Phaltan of Maharashtra where students wrote letters to each other, as ten students from each school wrote to each other telling about their culture, school, library and each others likes and dislikes. We are planning that, in the coming days, more schools from each country get connected to each other via video conferencing and thus students will share their experiences and aspirations in order to overcome misunderstandings, he says. At a time when the world is surrounded by things of war and conflicts, such actions by young people in India and Pakistan actually reflects how beautiful and strong our cultural bond is and how our future generations are willing to be connected and look for a future which is more peaceful, safer, violence free, hatred free, arms free, he added. Dr Devika Mittal, convener of Aaghaz-e-Dosti said, The calendar with paintings by innocent and apolitical minds remind us that mindsets have been constructed. Together with the beautiful dreams of the young and innocent, the calendar also carries messages from people who have been actively working to nurture these dreams. This calendar is a collection of shared dreams of peace and friendship. It serves as a hope shared by people who are just like us, in habit and struggle. With the turn of the pages to start a new month, the hope shall be renewed, he added. Working since 2012, Aaghaz-e-Dosti has already released thirteen such calendars. Our aim is to work with school students because they are responsible citizens of the future and their future should be hatred-free free-violence free and war free. When students create art, it brings their emotions, their thoughts and their dreams, said Nitin Mittoo, Coordinator of Aaghaz-e-Dosti. Besides the launch, a discussion 'Sharing of Hopes for a Peaceful Co-existence' and a poetry session were organised.

NEW DELHI: In an important move towards strengthening bilateral ties, India and France have agreed to a joint assessment of maritime security threats in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). In a joint declaration, the two said, India and France agreed to develop a joint assessment of the threats to maritime security in the region; to counter illicit maritime activities, including piracy and armed robbery, maritime terrorism, contraband smuggling, Illegal Unreported and Unregulated fishing, hybrid as well as cyber security threats, and marine pollution. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Monday said that the decision was taken during the 7th India-France Maritime Cooperation Dialogue, which was held in New Delhi on 14 January 2025. It was co-chaired by Pavan Kapoor, Deputy National Security Advisor, National Security Council Secretariat, India, and Ms. Alice Rufo, Director General for International Relations and Strategy, Ministry for the Armed Forces, France, the MEA said. During the dialogue, both sides discussed enhancing their cooperation in the Indian Ocean Region and reaffirmed their shared vision for maritime security, a key element of the India-France Strategic Partnership. India and France reiterated their strong commitment to upholding international law, supporting multilateralism, including through regional organisations, respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity, and protecting freedom of navigation. Both sides agreed to strengthen existing mechanisms of cooperation, such as the implementation of the agreed framework for the exchange of information through enhanced information exchange between the Information Fusion Centre-Indian Ocean Region, Gurugram, the Regional Coordination Operations Centre, Seychelles, and the Regional Maritime Information Fusion Centre, Madagascar, in the Indian Ocean Region. They also agreed to explore opportunities for coordinated surveillance whilst deployed to counter threats to maritime security in the region.

France welcomed the participation of the Indian Navy in the Combined Maritime Forces and looks forward to India's leadership of the appropriate Combined Task Forces, added the MEA. As part of their joint commitment towards the conservation of biodiversity and the protection of oceans, India and France also agreed to preserve marine resources in the Indian Ocean Region through the United Nations Ocean Conference. Both countries welcomed the progress made on biodiversity and the blue economy during the last bilateral dialogue on blue economy and ocean governance, and agreed to pursue cooperation at the regional level, as members of the Indian Ocean Rim Association.

Loan app fraud: ED files chargesheet against seven Chinese nationals, 4 firms
CHENNAI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a charge sheet against seven Chinese nationals, three mobile loan app firms and one Chinese owned payments aggregator under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) at a special court in Chennai last month, sources said. According to investigation by EDs Special Task Force (STF) in New Delhi, the Chinese nationals hatched a criminal conspiracy to exploit thousands of vulnerable Indians by providing them short-term loans through mobile apps at a high rate of interest and processing fee in the year 2020. The cash were later recovered in an illegal manner by threatening and extortion by these companies and then siphoned off outside India through cryptocurrencies. ED has identified at least Rs 141 crore of such proceeds of crime recovered from loan beneficiaries which were handled by these individuals and companies. The PMLA investigation was initiated based on multiple FIRs filed by Greater Chennai Police, Tamil Nadu polices CB-CID, and police units of Bengaluru and Telangana based on complaints by loan beneficiaries alleging harassment and extortion by the Fintech companies for repayment. The accused have been identified as Xiao Ya Mao, Wu Yuanlun, Hong Gaosheng, Peng Liu, Jianxing Zhang, Jianming Zhu and Yan Yan. The companies arraigned as accused are the Fintech firms Truekindle Technology of Gurugram, Toucolour Tech and Shinebay tech of Bengaluru and payment aggregator Mpurse services Private Ltd. Xiao Ya Mao and Wu Yuanlun were arrested by ED from Tiruchirapalli on November 13. The Chinese individuals had forcibly made their Indian employees dummy directors of the Fintech firms and retain control with them, ED said. The firms would strike a deal with Indian NBFCs by claiming to provide technological services. However, the firms themselves ran the operations of the app, injecting seed money using cryptocurrency, disbursing loans through the app, recovering it and then siphoning the proceeds outside India through cryptocurrency, ED said. The loans were disbursed through payment aggregators to beneficiaries wherein ED has found evidence of deceptive and manipulative tactics. ED has also alleged that the Fintech companies connived with Chinese owned payment aggregator Mpurse to manipulate the software and enable illicit financial transactions without the knowledge of the NBFCs, ED said. For instance, while loans were disbursed from a particular merchant id of the payment aggregator linked to the NBFC, the payments were collected from a different id. The aggregator did this to obscure the origin and destination of the illicit funds, ED said.

Rastogi also asked them to take strict action in the matter and report back to the government within fifteen days. Sources revealed that, in an unprecedented crackdown on corruption within the revenue department, the Haryana government has released a list of 370 patwaris.

Sonepat, Palwal, and Rewari each have 15 middlemen, while Yamunanagar has 14. Sources revealed that the confidential report was compiled by the state revenue department with inputs from the state intelligence wing of the Haryana Police. The report details the modus operandi of the alleged corrupt patwaris and their duration of posting. According to the report, patwaris in Gurugram allegedly take the highest bribes in the state, charging between Rs 4,000 and Rs 5,000 for land mutations. For issuing fards, they reportedly demand between Rs 200 and Rs 500. Many of these officials are said to rely on middlemen to collect the bribes on their behalf. The report further states that Patwaris some Pawaris posted in Chakhi Dadri takes around Rs 1000 to Rs 2000 for doing land mutation. And others in the district take between Rs 1,500 to Rs 2000. While Faridaba they take between Rs 500 to 700 to locate old revenue files. The letter added that a Patwari posted in Ambala from last 18 months has kept a middle men and for doing land mutation and land measurement and rectifying the record he harasses the public and another Patwari in Amabla Cantonment who has been posted the last two years and Patwari posted in Ambala city for last one year they also do the same. It is learnt that there are 1,378 patwaris in the across the state and 1,313 posts are lying vacant. As recently 2600 patwaris were recruited and they will complete their training thus now there will be no shortage of these revenue officials. The report further mentions that patwaris in Charkhi Dadri charge between Rs 1,000 and Rs 2,000 for land mutations, with others in the district demanding Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000. In Faridabad, patwaris allegedly charge Rs 500 to Rs 700 for locating old revenue files. The report also mentions a patwari in Ambala, posted for the last 18 months, who employs a middleman and harasses the public while handling tasks such as land mutations, land measurements, and record corrections. Similarly, a patwari in Ambala Cantonment, posted for two years, and another in Ambala city, posted for one year, are accused of similar practices. The state has 1,378 sanctioned patwari posts, with 1,313 currently vacant. However, the recent recruitment of 2,600 patwaris, who are undergoing training, is expected to address this shortage soon.

ED attaches Rs 200-cr worth assets in Sri Lanka in probe against Gurgram-based realty company
NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday said it has attached an under-construction luxury hotel in Colombo's prime area and some other assets worth more than Rs 200 crore as part of a money laundering probe linked to a Gurugram-based realty company which is alleged to have duped homebuyers. The company named Krrish Realtech Private Limited is promoted by businessman Amit Katyal, who is believed to be a close associate of the family of RJD chief Lalu Prasad. Katyal was arrested by the central agency in 2023 in a separate money laundering case related to the railways alleged land-for-jobs scam involving Prasad and his family. The ED said in a statement that it has issued an order to provisionally attach an under-construction luxury hotel and leasehold rights over 4 acres of land in the Colombo 1 area of Sri Lanka apart from land rights for about 2.82 acres of Vicinity Hotels Pvt.Ltd., in the name of Good Earth Business Park Pvt.Ltd. located at Sector-66 in Gurugram. The money laundering case of the ED stems from FIRs filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police and Gurugram police against Katyal and his associates. It was alleged in these police complaints that Krrish Realtech Pvt.Ltd. defrauded numerous investors and illicitly transferred hundreds of crores of rupees abroad hrough a coordinated scheme involving cheating, deception and fraud. The company, the agency alleged, duped and defrauded numerous plot buyers by resorting to cheating and misrepresentation of facts relating to the project. The agency said the company floated a project to provide residential plots in the centre of Gurugram. However, the ED said, despite the lapse of more than 13 years no plots were provided to the buyers. The company had collected hard earned money of Rs 503 crore belonging to innocent plot buyers, it said. Amit Katyal willingly siphoned off funds collected from various plot buyers and investors to a Sri Lankan company named The One Transworks Square (Pvt) Ltd. (formerly Krrish Transworks Colombo Pvt Ltd) which was developing a luxury real estate project in Sri Lanka. For the said purpose, the promoter has resorted to diversion layering and concealment of funds and projected the funds as legitimate income, the ED statement said. The assets attached abroad (Colombo) are worth Rs 205 crore and this includes about 4 acres of land and leasehold rights of some buildings. In order to freeze these assets against sale and use, the ED sends a formal legal request to their foreign counterparts requesting them to help in executing the order issued as part of a criminal investigation. The ED also said that some of the funds were siphoned off to a company named NCR Business Park Pvt.Ltd., which is now known as Good Earth Business Park Pvt.Ltd. About 2.82 acres of land worth Rs 19.08 crore in Badshahpur and Ghasola villages in Sector 66 of Gurugram (in the name of the Good Earth Business Park Pvt.Ltd.) have also been attached.
BHOPAL: Considered as the hub of cement industries in the country, Satna district in the Vindhya region of Madhya Pradesh is turning out to be a fertile base for mule accounts --which are being used not just to park and move money earned by cyber fraudsters, but also serving as route for transfer of funds of suspected terror financing. Mule account refers to a bank account that is used to facilitate illegal activities such as money laundering and fraudulent transactions. Focused investigations by cyber cell of the MP police based on specific inputs provided by the anti-terror squad (ATS) have led to a massive inter-state racket, which has been opening bank accounts in the name of downtrodden people after promising to credit benefits of various government schemes in those accounts. The same mule accounts whose net banking control particularly is in the hands of the fraudsters (who got the accounts opened by posing as representatives of banks) are then being sold to cyber fraudsters across the country to park and route the proceeds of cyber-crime. Detailed investigations have also brought to the fore a strong possibility of the same mule accounts also being used for suspected terror financing through overseas connections. Around 400-500 such mule accounts have so far been traced, majority of which were opened by fraudsters in the name of low-income people residing in Satna district and neighbouring Jabalpur district. Ongoing probe suggests that a monstrous sum of more than Rs 1500 crores has been routed by cyber fraudsters as well as suspected terror financers (having overseas connections) through the mule accounts opened in the name of people of Satna district of Vindhya region and Jabalpur district of adjoining Mahakoshal region of MP. The 16 security guards of one prominent cement factory: In December 2024, the MP ATS got the whiff of the mule accounts-aided cyber fraud and suspected terror funding racket, when 16 private security personnel (all from economically weak families) working at a prominent cement factory in Satna district, approached the local police. The MP ATS shared with the cyber cell, inputs about possible presence of a massive racket, engaged in opening mule accounts in the name of people from lower socio-economic strata in Satna, Jabalpur and adjoining districts with the promise of crediting in those accounts, the monetary benefits under various government schemes, like Kisan Samman Nidhi, Old Age Pension Scheme, Sambal Scheme and Unemployment Allowance scheme. One of the security guards, whose bank account was opened by the fraudsters checked with the concerned banks kiosk about his newly opened bank accounts details. He remained shocked to find that transactions worth lakhs of rupees had been done through the account opened in his name. Similar money trail was detected in the accounts opened in the name of the other security guards of the same cement unit in Satna district. Investigations brought to the fore that some local men from Satna district as well as some youngsters from Jabalpur district met the 16 security guards of the cement unit, while posing as representatives of banks. Subsequently, those men convinced the guards to open bank accounts which would enable the guards in getting benefits under various government schemes. Probe also revealed that while the accounts were opened in the banks using details of the security guards, the fraudsters who posed as bank employees/representatives got their own phone numbers entered in KYC documents to ensure that net banking access of those accounts (mule accounts) stayed with them only. Subsequently, those accounts were sold to cyber fraudsters in various states of India to park and rotate money earned through various modes of cyber frauds, a cyber cell officer forming part of the ongoing probe told this newspaper. Acting in the matter, the state police have arrested at least 23 men forming part of the mule account racket, which has its key players operating from MP, Delhi, Haryana and Telangana. Most of the arrested men, including prime players Mohd Mashooq, Sajid Khan and Chanchal Vishwakarma hail from Satna district only. Ongoing probe after the early morning MP police raid at a flat in a multi-storied building in Gurugram on January 7, had helped the unearthing of fake call center. As many as 14 laptops, 85 debit cards, five QR codes and one tablet were seized, which suggested that the mastermind Mohd Mashooq was running a call center there to dupe people. A simultaneous probe by the MP ATS has thrown up strong possibility of the same mule accounts (which are being used by cyber fraud rackets to park and rotate the proceeds of their fraud) being used to route huge sums for terror financing. While investigations suggest that over Rs 1500 crore have been parked and routed through the mule accounts opened in the name of poor and low economic strata people, well worked inputs with the state police strongly points that major part of that sum could be actually destined for suspected terror funding with overseas connections, a highly placed MP police officer told this newspaper on Wednesday. MPs Satna districts bond with mule accounts-cyber fraud and suspected terror financing dates back to 2017. In February 2017, the MP ATS busted a Chinese SIMBOX enabled illegal phone exchange-aided ISI spying ring. Probe revealed that Pakistans ISI handlers were using Chinese SIMBOX enabled parallel phone exchanges at multiple dozen locations spread across India, including Bhopal, Jabalpur, Gwalior and Satna districts of MP to dupe people via online and lottery fraud. The money earned by the callers operating from Pakistan (whose identities were masked as calls converted into local GSM cell-phone calls by parallel exchanges) by duping people particularly in South and East India was parked in 200-odd accounts in 25-plus nationalised and private banks in Satna and Rewa districts of MPs Vindhya region. All these bank accounts were managed by Satna-based Balram Singh (an ex-Bajrang Dal man) using the ATM cards of actual account holders. Pakistani handlers parked whopping sums in 2015 and 2016 in those mule accounts via Balram in return for commissions to the account holder. The money parked in these accounts of banks in the two MP was later withdrawn by Balram and then transferred to the bank accounts managed by an old Delhi based terror financer, who subsequently routed that money to ISI spies (via a clutch of traders on both sides of the LoC) operating in bordering areas of Jammu and Kashmir, including Satwindar and Dadu, who were arrested in RS Pura sector of Jammu in 2016. Two and half years later in 2019, the MP ATS was again in action in a similar case, by busting another suspected spying funding ring which was being guided by Pakistan-based ISI handlers. Three men, including Balram Singh (who was out on bail in the 2017 case), Sunil Singh and Shubham Mishra were arrested from their native Satna district for allegedly parking phone lottery and other telephonic fraud money in multiple bank accounts before transferring the money to bank accounts in other states at the behest of ISI handlers in Pakistan. The phone fraud money which were being parked in multiple bank accounts in Madhya Pradesh and other states, including West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Bihar, was possibly being used by the Pakistan-based handlers to fund spying on Indias strategic interests which in the long run could have been used to wage war and terror activities against India. The cell-phones seized from the arrested trio by the Satna district police contained at least 17 Pakistani phone numbers on which the trio was regularly making WhatsApp calls, Net calls, besides sending audio and video messages. They sent video messages to Pakistani handlers to greet the handlers of Pak Independence Day. In a departure from the 2017 case, when Balram and his aides hired bank accounts of others (particularly poor people in return for monthly rent) to park and transfer the fraud money, the trio arrested in 2019 and their aides spread across the country, particularly in Satna and adjoining districts of MP and UP used their own multiple bank accounts to park and transfer money possibly to fund spying and also terror. Knowing well that parking major money volumes in accounts would bring them under IT Department radar, Balram and aides didnt park more than Rs 50,000 in their accounts in Satna district, but instead regularly transferred money into bank accounts of other operatives of the funding racket operating in Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand, which was then possibly routed to those spying in India at behest of Pak handlers. Balram and aides got 8%-10% commission from Pak handlers on each money transaction.

2025 Property Market Outlook: Key Trends Shaping Home Buying Decisions
Moreover, the sector is also anticipated to see a shift in affordability in 2025, driven by a projected cumulative 50-basis-point cut in interest rates over the next few months, which is anticipated to make homeownership more accessible for buyers as per JLL's study. With lower home loan EMIs, housing becomes more affordable for middle-income groups and first-time buyers, potentially unlocking a new wave of demand in the residential real estate market. Beyond affordability, reduced interest rates are expected to stimulate the overall economy by encouraging spending and investment. As borrowing costs decrease, developers may also find it easier to secure financing for new projects, fostering growth across the housing market. Manoj Gaur, President, CREDAI-NCR and CMD, Gaurs Group , says, While the sector is seeing an increased demand for luxury homes driven by HNIs seeking premium offerings, affordability remains a crucial factor for a large segment of homebuyers. The anticipated interest rate cuts in 2025 are expected to strike a balance, enhancing affordability and stimulating demand across a range of market segments. This growing demand for both affordable and luxury housing highlights the resilience of the sector, with buyers gravitating toward properties that align with their financial capacities and aspirations. We foresee sustained growth in both segments, creating a dynamic market environment this year . Amit Modi, Director, County Group , says, Within the real sector Luxury and Ultra Luxury sectors are evolving rapidly, and we see immense potential for growth in both established and emerging markets as discerning buyers continue to invest in properties that align with their aspirations and values. Luxury housing is not just about high-end amenities; it's about creating a lifestyle experience. High-end housing buyers today are global citizen and seek homes that offer exclusivity, superior design, and comfort at par with global best practices. The year 2025 will be very much an year of premium housing and we look forward to delivering projects that meet these expectations while setting new benchmarks in luxury living . Mohit Kalia, VP Sales and Marketing, Raheja Developers , says, Peripheral areas around metro cities are gaining traction due to improved infrastructure and connectivity. The year 2025 is expected to see a significant rise in demand for properties in these locations, further diversifying the real estate landscape. These markets present excellent opportunities for high returns and are becoming increasingly popular among modern homebuyers. Dwarka Expressway, in particular, becomes a key growth driver in Gurugram, enhancing the region's real estate appeal. By developing projects in the region, we aim to cater to evolving buyer preferences while capitalizing on their potential for price appreciation . Therefore, 2025 is shaping up as another landmark year for Indian real estate. The sector's growth trajectory is supported by robust demand, strategic policy interventions, and an expanding market for luxury homes. Developers and investors are poised to benefit from the opportunities presented by this dynamic landscape.

Delhi man cons 700 woman on dating apps using pics of Brazilian model
New Delhi: Delhi police has arrested a 23-year-old man who allegedly scammed over 700 women after befriending them on dating applications by posing as a US-based model, officials said on Saturday. The cyber police station of West district arrested Tushar Bisht on charges of exploiting online platforms such as Bumble and Snapchat to lure his victims, blackmail them using private photos and videos, and extort money, a statement issued by Delhi Police said. Posing as a US-based freelance model, the accused created fake identities using a virtual international mobile number and photographs of a Brazilian model, Deputy Commissioner of Police (West), Vichitra Veer, said in the statement. Bisht used the fake profiles to connect with women aged between 18 and 30 years on various onlione dating platforms. His primary targets were users of Bumble, Snapchat and WhatsApp, the statement said. The DCP said Bisht gained his victims' trust by engaging in conversations, and convinced them to share private and intimate images and videos. Once he obtained the content, he resorted to blackmail, threatening to leak the sensitive material online, or sell them to dark web unless the victims paid him, the DCP said. Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused interacted with over 500 women on Bumble and 200 others on Snapchat and WhatsApp, police said. The accused's mobile phone contained incriminating evidence, including objectionable data of victims, a virtual mobile number, and details of financial transactions involving extortion. The police also seized 13 credit cards linked to various banks, the statement said. The matter came to light on December 13, last year, when a Delhi University student filed a complaint with the cyber police station claiming that she had connected with the accused on Bumble earlier in the year. Posing as a US-based model visiting India for work, he gained her trust through consistent chats. As their interactions deepened, the accused persuaded her to share private photos and videos on Snapchat and WhatsApp. Despite repeated requests to meet in person, he always evaded with excuses, the DCP said. The situation escalated when the accused sent her a private video she had shared, and demanded money. Pressured, the victim made small payments, citing her financial constraints. However, the relentless demands drove her to inform her family and lodge a complaint, the DCP said. After registering an FIR, a special team was formed which identified Bisht as the perpetrator and tracked him to Shakarpur in east Delhi. A raid was conducted, leading to his arrest, the statement said. Revealing the modus operandi, the DCP said during interrogation, Bisht admitted to using a virtual international mobile number for over two years, which he obtained through an app. Using this number, he registered on dating and chatting platforms, projecting himself as a glamorous model. His fake profiles included fabricated stories and photographs to make them appear authentic. Once he established connection with his victims, he persuaded them to share intimate content. Initially, he did this for amusement but later he turned it into a calculated scheme to extort money. He confessed to possessing private content of numerous women and blackmailing several of them for financial gains, Vichitra Veer said in the statement. Bisht hails from a middle-class family based out of Shakarpur. His father works as a private driver, his mother is a homemaker, while his sister is employed in Gurugram. A graduate with a BBA degree, Bisht was working as a technical recruiter at a Noida-based private firm for the past three years. Police said the investigation has uncovered chats with more than 60 women from Delhi and nearby areas. Two bank accounts linked to the accused have also been identified, one of which showed multiple transactions from victims, while details of the second account are awaited.

Zomato first startup in Sensex 30
Chennai: Food tech giant Zomato has made history as the first Indian startup to join the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex 30, replacing JSW Steel in the benchmark index of Indias top 30 companies. However, Zomato stock saw a drop in prices on Monday after becoming part of the elite club. Zomato's inclusion in the SENSEX follows its strong performance over the past year. The stock has gained 38 per cent in the past six months, 124.79 per cent year-to-date, and 114.29 per cent over the last year. With this, Zomato joined the list of companies, including ITC, Tech Mahindra, HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries among others featured in the benchmark index. Zomatos total market capitalization of Rs 2.7 lakh crore surpassed JSW Steel's Rs 2.24 lakh crore. Zomatos stock had surged 3.6 times since its Rs 9,375-crore IPO in July 2021, when shares were sold at Rs 76 apiece. However, on Monday, following its inclusion in the Sensex 30, Zomato's stock declined by 3.15 per cent to Rs 273.90 on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The addition to Sensex may bring a funds inflow of $513 million into the stock as passive funds, according to brokerage Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research. In November, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) had added Zomato to the futures and options (F&O) stocks list. During the second quarter of the ongoing fiscal year, Zomato achieved a remarkable 68.5 per cent quarter-on-quarter growth in operating revenue, reaching Rs 4,799 crore from Rs 2,848 crore in Q2 FY24. The Gurugram-based company also recorded a 4.8X increase in net profit to Rs 176 crore in the quarter ending September. The entry of Zomato, which was founded in 2008, into the Sensex 30 is a significant milestone not only for the company but for the entire Indian startup ecosystem. It dismisses a lot of apprehension about the ecosystem in the minds of global investors. Zomato's elevation to the top club in the market is a demonstration of the potential of startups and it will pave the way for many others to follow suit. Its arch-rival Swiggy posted Rs 3,601 crore of revenue and a net loss of Rs 625 crore during the second quarter of the current fiscal year. The recently listed firm is currently traded at Rs 592.8 per share and has a total market capitalization of Rs 1,32,695 crore. Zomato also secured $1 billion from qualified institutional investors (QIIs) last month. According to Entrackr, the investment has provided enough powder for future investments, even as the stock will benefit from index investing now, even though the BSE Sensex remains a smaller representation of Indias investment opportunities than say, the 50 share NSE Nifty.
