India is worlds cheapest data capital as cost is down to Rs 9 per GB: Scindia

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Communications Minister Jyotiraditya M. Scindia said on Thursday that 10 years ago, only six crore people in India had access to broadband and today that number tops 102 crore while data costs have fallen from Rs 287/GB to Rs 9/GB, making the country he cheapest data capital of the world today. Addressing the Global Fintech Fest, Scindia said: We started putting the 5G network in place in 2022, and over the next 26 months we have 5G network capability across 99.9 per cent of districts of India, covering 85 per cent of our population with a capex cost of Rs 4,500 crore. As we connect each of India's villages, they become a member of this global Fintech Fest, he remarked. Highlighting the breadth of the countrys digital infrastructure, Scindia said that Aadhaar has over 144 crore identities, while the number of Jan Dhan accounts had soared to 60 crore. Besides, affordable smartphones and DigiLocker, which houses 9 billion documents, have reduced the distance between citizens and their ability to use finance, he added. Scindia underscored that 84 per cent of digital transactions now take place on UPI and 49 per cent of the world's digital transactions take place in India. This technology has gone to 9 countries, and we look at taking it to the next 20 countries, he said. A strong lesson for the globe is to learn from the success of this model: Innovation scales when infrastructure is open, inclusion scales when infrastructure is affordable, and trust scales when infrastructure is secure, Scindia said. The minister further stated that India is now the second-largest market for telecom with 133 crore mobile phones, of which almost 52 crore belong to the rural sector. These statistics portray a case of economic mobility, he remarked. Addressing the event, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said that India's fintech ecosystem anks large globally, having attracted funding of $2.4 billion. India has the opportunity of becoming a trusted partner in shaping the architecture of global finance. RBI is committed to supporting the industry in building a connected global system, he added.

RBI recognises Unified Fintech Forum as 2nd self-regulatory organisation for fintech sector

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Thursday recognised the Unified Fintech Forum (UFF) as a self-regulatory organisation for the fintech sector (SRO-FT), making it the second industry body to receive such approval from the central bank. The RBI said that it had examined UFFs application against the eligibility and other requirements prescribed under its framework for recognising self-regulatory organisations in the fintech sector. Following the assessment, the central bank decided to grant the forum SRO-FT status. The recognition comes after the RBI established its framework for recognising fintech self-regulatory organisations in May 2024. The Fintech Association for Consumer Empowerment (FACE) became the first SRO-FT recognised by the RBI in August 2024. Self-regulatory organisations are expected to play a key role in strengthening governance within the fintech ecosystem by establishing and enforcing industry standards, encouraging ethical business practices and promoting market integrity. They are also responsible for facilitating dispute resolution while improving transparency and accountability among their members. UFF, which was previously known as the Digital Lenders Association of India (DLAI), had 118 members as of the end of June, according to information on its website. Its membership spans a wide range of fintech entities, including non-banking finance companies, loan service providers, technology service providers, credit bureaus and account aggregators. The forum is headed by Manish Lunia, co-founder of FlexiLoans, as its president, while Upasana Taku, co-founder and executive director of MobiKwik, serves as vice president of UFFs executive committee. Other members of the executive committee include Shachindra Nath of UGRO Capital, Harshvardhan Lunia of Lendingkart, Sujith Narayanan Kutty of Fi Money and Nalin Negi of BharatPe. The RBIs move is part of its broader approach of encouraging industry-led mechanisms to support responsible growth and strengthen governance in the rapidly evolving fintech sector. The recognition of UFF is expected to further institutionalise self-regulation within the industry while providing a framework for fintech companies to align their practices with evolving regulatory and consumer protection expectations.

'I Played The Ball, Not The Bowler': Salil Arora Recalls No-look Six Off Bumrah In IPL 2026

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Punjab batter Salil Arora made headlines when he smashed a 10-ball 30 against Mumbai Indians in one of the matches during his debut Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season for Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he hit a spectacular no-look six off India pace icon Jasprit Bumrah. Arora played a strong hand in the death overs in SRH's clash against five-time winners MI, as he helped his team chase down 244 at the Wankhede Stadium. Heinrich Klaasen led the chase with his unbeaten 30-ball 65, but Salil also made a strong impact coming in at No.6 in the death overs with his 30-run outing, which included three sixes and two fours. He hit one of those maximums to Bumrah, a no-look hit straight down the ground to one of the best modern-day cricketers in the world. Speaking exclusively to IANS, Arora recalled his memorable knock, emphasising that his focus was not on the bowler, but on the ball rather. When I went to bat, there were a lot of big names in front of me. Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav among others. So our senior players and coaches were just telling me, 'don't think that there are big players in front of you'. So when Bumrah came to bowl to me, I didn't think he was coming in. I played the ball, not the bowler, and backed my batting, Salil told IANS. Arora, who is currently playing for Ludhiana Lions in the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League, had a stellar outing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025-26, wherein he scored 358 runs, including an unbeaten 125 off 45 balls against Jharkhand. That helped him earn an IPL deal with SRH as he was picked for Rs 1.50 crore by the 2016 champions. Arora reflected on the advice he received from the SRH leadership group and sharing the dressing room with the likes of Pat Cummins, Heinrich Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan. Arora, who is currently playing for Ludhiana Lions in the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League, had a stellar outing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025-26, wherein he scored 358 runs, including an unbeaten 125 off 45 balls against Jharkhand. That helped him earn an IPL deal with SRH as he was picked for Rs 1.50 crore by the 2016 champions. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Like, there were 1-2 matches that didn't go well. They used to back me and motivate me that I will do it. And the coaches used to tell me that I am a good player and I will do it. So they didn't let my confidence go down. So in the end, positive results came, he added. Article Source: IANS

RBI, SEBI launch Indias first tokenised corporate bond pilot at Global Fintech Fest 2026

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra and Securities and Exchange Board of India Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Thursday launched Indias first tokenised corporate bond pilot at the Global Fintech Fest 2026, marking a significant step towards the use of blockchain and central bank digital currency (CBDC) in securities and asset settlements. Under the pilot, tokenised securities and asset settlements will use CBDC and blockchain technology. The tokenisation framework, initially focused on corporate bonds, could subsequently be extended to other financial assets, including equities, mutual fund units and electronic gold receipts. Speaking at the event, Malhotra said the Global Fintech Fest had evolved beyond being an industry conference into a platform where stakeholders from across the financial ecosystem exchange ideas that can shape the future of finance. Highlighting the scale of India's digital financial transformation, Malhotra said the country now has 57 crore PM-Jan Dhan Yojana accounts, 25 crore micro-insurance policies and nine crore people covered under the Atal Pension Scheme, while UPI is recording around 80 crore transactions. He said the most remarkable aspect of this transformation was not merely the scale of these numbers, but the extent to which digital finance had become part of everyday life. Malhotra said India had witnessed massive financial inclusion over the past few years, driven by public-private partnerships. He said the next objective should be to make financial services ubiquitous and omnipresent. Traditional lenders have faced difficulties in extending small-ticket loans to women, micro, small and medium enterprises and farmers, he said, adding that fintech companies can help bridge these gaps through technology and contribute further to financial inclusion. At the same time, Malhotra stressed that trust must remain at the centre of fintech innovation. He said trust takes years to build but can be broken quickly, making it essential for fintech companies to address risks arising from opacity, exclusion and cybersecurity. A financial system which moves at the speed of light but does not command trust will not see many takers, Malhotra said, underlining the importance of building confidence alongside technological innovation.

Fatima Sana Shaikh recalls facing sexism in film industry: Learn to stand up for yourself

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Actress Fatima Sana Shaikh has opened up about facing sexism and deeply rooted patriarchal attitudes in the film industry. She asserted that women often have to fight against societal conditioning to make their voices heard. Speaking at the trailer launch of her upcoming release HunkkaarThe Roar, the 'Dangal' actress said patriarchy cannot be blamed solely on men, as women are also part of a system that has been deeply ingrained in society. Patriarchy is not only the fault of men. There are also women in it. They are also included. It internalizes. And we are all born in the same conditioning. And we have to fight it, she says and acknowledges that its deeply ingrained. Sharing an example from the film industry, Shaikh recalled being in meetings where she was presented with a female-centric story about a woman trying to find her voice. Fatima said, Even I have been in such rooms, where you go to a room, the producer tells you that this is a mind-blowing film for you. Then, the role is of a woman who is trying to find a voice, - an idea that is female-oriented, taps into women-empowerment, social politics - however, Shaikh finds no woman in the room except her, emphasizing the irony of the situation. The irony is that when you try to say something, she won't appreciate it. She can't handle it. And then, she will make weird jokes, or she will mansplain. Because she will tell us how women feel when there is a violent crime. She will tell us that actually, it's not that bad. It's like this, she explains. However, she also points out that the way to deal with all of it is to learn to stand up for yourself and fight, she added. Meanwhile, Fatima takes on the role of a no-nonsense police officer in the upcoming courtroom drama. The show is produced by Birla Studios and Applause Entertainment, in association with Priyanka Chopra's production house, Purple Pebble Pictures, and Mangata Films Production. Directed by Karan D. Kapadia and Nitya Mehra, HunkkaarThe Roar is scheduled to stream on JioHotstar from September 25.

SEBI reworking CAS expiry-day closing price methodology for derivatives, system faced liquidity issues initially: Chairman

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Thursday that the market regulator is reworking the methodology for determining the closing prices under the recently launched closing auction session (CAS) for derivatives contracts on expiry days, while acknowledging that the rollout of CAS across jurisdictions faced initial challenges, particularly around liquidity. Speaking on the second day of the Global Fintech Fest 2026 here, Pandey clarified that the CAS framework is here to stay, citing smooth implementation and positive feedback from global index provider MSCI and emphasising the need for robust guardrails as artificial intelligence becomes more deeply embedded in financial markets. Pandey said MSCI had acknowledged that recent index rebalancing exercises were carried out smoothly under the CAS framework. He acknowledged that the rollout of CAS across jurisdictions had faced initial challenges, particularly around liquidity. Initial liquidity was an issue after implementation. However, liquidity builds up over time, he said. On artificial intelligence, the SEBI chief said the emergence of agentic AI systems requires regulators and market participants to establish clear boundaries around their use. Agentic AI raises the bar, so we need to define access, autonomy, admissible action and perceptibility. Agentic AI also needs hard boundaries on what we cannot do, he said. According to Pandey, every production-level AI system should have mechanisms that allow for auditability, research validation and change logging to ensure accountability and transparency. He stressed that innovation and safety should advance together. Growing fast and growing safe are not competing ambitions, Pandey said. A market can grow sustainably when innovation is accompanied by trust, and trust is sustained by resilience. He said the regulatory challenge is to create a framework that enables technological innovation while preserving the core principles of investor protection, market integrity and financial stability.

On Thursday, Soha uploaded a clip where she was seen stepping out in order to complete her target for the day. While she leaves the house with full enthusiasm, she encounters a number of unexpected hurdles on the road, such as animal poop on the sidewalk, a broken manhole cover, waiting for someone to fall or get hurt, a man sleeping on the sidewalk, a huge crane at work, along with some other work going on the roadside. At the end, Soha finally gives up on the idea and decides to try the next day again. I really try to get in my 10k steps every day but after 2,467 obstacles, I give up (sic), read the caption on the post. This is not the first time Soha has decided to use social media to raise such a civic issue. Back in February, Soha had shed light on the horrible conditions of the Mumbai roads.

The 'Rang De Basanti' actress pointed out how dangerous this can be if someone ends up falling into this 'death trap'.

The picture had Soha's daughter, Inaaya, watching the unchecked construction of the roads while standing carefully on a muddy, broken road lined with barricades, debris, and other construction material.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Actress Sharvari has opened up about her experience working on the film Main Wapas Aaunga. She called her first collaboration with filmmaker Imtiaz Ali a huge opportunity and described the project as a memorable experience. Sharvari said she had a great time working on the film and with Imtiaz, along with the entire team. She also highlighted how the story gave her an opportunity to step into a different era and explore a character unlike those she has portrayed before. I had a lot of fun working on the film. This was my first collaboration with Imtiaz sir and with Neelam and Sanjay sir and with everyone actually. I had a lot of fun because this is such a beautiful story, Sharvari said. The Munjya actress added that playing a character set in a different era allowed her to explore a new world as a performer. She particularly enjoyed experiencing the distinct costumes and atmosphere associated with the period. I think especially because as an actor, I got a chance to go into a different era. I got a chance to play a different character. I got a chance to play a character where the way people used to dress was different, and I had a lot of fun getting lost in that world. Sharvari also expressed her admiration for Imtiazs work, saying that collaborating with the filmmaker was an opportunity she deeply valued. And of course, I have always been a fan of Imtiaz sir's work, so this was a huge opportunity for me, and I am very grateful for it. Sharvari plays Jiya opposite Vedang Raina in Imtiaz Alis period romantic drama Main Vaapas Aaunga.

The film was theatrically released on 12 June 2026.

NSE IPO: Declining options share, derivatives curbs pose growth challenges

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is heading towards its much-awaited initial public offering (IPO) at a time when the exchange is facing several challenges, including a sharp decline in its market share in equity options, tighter regulations governing derivatives trading and limited room for growth in its dominant cash market segment. According to data disclosed by NSE in its Red Herring Prospectus (RHP), the exchange's market share in the equity options segment, measured by premium value, has declined significantly over the past three financial years. NSE's share stood at 96.9 per cent in FY24, before falling to 87.4 per cent in FY25 and further to 74.71 per cent in FY26. This represents a decline of around 22.2 percentage points over the three-year period. The decline highlights the increasing competitive pressure in one of NSE's key revenue-generating segments, even as the exchange continues to maintain a strong position across other market segments. In the equity cash segment, NSE's market share has remained above 90 per cent during the same period. Its share stood at 92.7 per cent in FY24, increased to 93.6 per cent in FY25 and remained largely stable at 92.99 per cent in FY26. While the high market share reflects NSE's strong position in the cash market, it also points to limited headroom for significant expansion in the segment. At the same time, regulatory tightening around derivatives trading has emerged as another challenge for the exchange. Authorities have taken several measures in recent years to curb excessive participation in derivatives, particularly amid concerns over retail investors suffering substantial losses in futures and options (F&O) trading. These measures include an increase in the Securities Transaction Tax (STT), changes relating to margins and greater investor awareness initiatives by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Data provided by Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary in the Rajya Sabha showed that the number of unique retail investors participating in the F&O segment fell by around 20 per cent to 78.6 lakh in FY26 from 98.1 lakh in FY25. The decline in retail participation comes against the backdrop of regulatory efforts to reduce excessive speculative activity in derivatives and strengthen investor protection. NSE has itself cautioned in its RHP that a decline in trading volumes, particularly in the derivatives and F&O segments, could adversely affect its business. Lower volumes could, in turn, put pressure on the exchange's revenues and profitability.

Sensex, Nifty snap 3-day losing streak as bank shares lend support

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Indian benchmark equity indices snapped their three-day losing streak on Thursday, supported by gains in banking and financial stocks even as persistent volatility in oil prices kept investors cautious. The Sensex rose 138.36 points, or 0.19 per cent, to settle at 74,902.59, while the Nifty gained 46.30 points, or 0.20 per cent, to close at 23,477.80. Commenting on Nifty technical outlook, experts said that the on the technical front, the Nifty continues to trade below its key daily moving averages, keeping the near-term structure under pressure. Immediate support is placed at 23,400, followed by 23,300, while the 23,550-23,600 zone remains the first meaningful resistance, market watchers said. Among the Nifty constituents, HDFC Life Insurance Company, Power Grid Corporation of India and Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) emerged as the top gainers. In the broader market, however, the trend remained subdued. The Nifty MidCap index declined 0.38 per cent, while the Nifty SmallCap index ended 0.07 per cent lower. Sectorally, financial stocks led the gains, with Nifty Financial Services, Nifty PSU Bank and Nifty Private Bank emerging as the best-performing indices. On the other hand, Nifty Auto and Nifty Metal were among the key sectoral laggards. Experts said that the market's recovery came despite continued fluctuations in crude oil prices, with investors closely tracking developments in the oil market and their potential impact on domestic inflation and corporate earnings. Consequently, the domestic market endured a choppy session on expiry day amid weak Asian cues, as investor focus remained closely tethered to the volatility in crude prices, analysts stated. Although the strong August equity fund flow data and the moderation in the SIP stoppage ratio lent support to the markets, sentiment was tempered by the depreciating rupee and firming domestic bond yields, market watchers mentioned.

Divyenndu and Bhuvan Arora face off as a clever hack spirals out of control in Waiting Hai trailer

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) The makers of Waiting Hai have unveiled the trailer of the upcoming film on social media. It offers a glimpse into a high-stakes face-off between Divyenndu and Bhuvan Arora. The trailer shows how a clever hack sets off a chain of events that threatens to spiral into something much bigger than anyone could have anticipated. Set in Patna, Waiting Hai brings Divyenndu and Bhuvan Arora together in a high-stakes face-off sparked by a clever hack that soon grows into something far bigger. Divyenndu plays Sugam Mishra, a railway constable struggling to settle into a demanding new job while dealing with a difficult boss and the chaos of his personal life. Bhuvan Arora essays Afroz Hamsa, a tech whiz who discovers a way to beat the system. Speaking about the series, Amogh Dusad, Director and Head of AVOD Content, Prime Video India, said, At Prime Video, we are always looking to bring audiences stories that take familiar worlds and present them in fresh and entertaining ways. Waiting Hai does exactly that by taking the everyday struggle of securing a railway ticket and building an entire scam dramedy around it. I think what makes the series particularly special is how rooted it feels. It has humor, heart, and characters you can recognize, even as the situations around them become increasingly unpredictable. With Sameer Vidwans distinctive storytelling and a phenomenal ensemble led by Divyenndu and Bhuvan Arora, we believe Waiting Hai will strike a strong chord with audiences. Talking about playing Sugam Mishra, Divyenndu shared, What drew me to Sugam was that he is not your typical cop who has everything figured out. He is trying to find his feet professionally while also dealing with the realities of his personal and newly married life. That balance makes him very relatable, and I enjoyed exploring that side of him. Waiting Hai has this very rooted, desi humour to it, but there is also a cat-and-mouse chase at its core. I had a great time playing Sugam and I hope the audiences will have a lot of fun watching him uncover a scam that just keeps getting bigger. Sharing his experience of playing Afroz Hamsa, Bhuvan Arora added, What really drew me to Afroz was how different he felt from me as an actor and as a person. Hes someone with a good heart, but he finds himself doing things that arent necessarily right, and that contradiction is what I really enjoyed exploring. His equation with Mamaji (played by Vijay Maurya) was another aspect of the character that I really relished. The script itself immediately appealed to me because its such a fun cat-and-mouse chase, set in a world that feels very different from what audiences usually see. Knowing that the story is also loosely based on real-life events made it even more intriguing for me. And then, of course, getting to work with such talented and veteran actors was an added bonus. Afroz has so many unexpected turns to his journey, and I genuinely enjoyed every bit of playing him. Speaking about Waiting Hai, Sameer Vidwans, Series Director, said, I have always been interested in stories that are rooted in everyday life yet reveal a larger world beneath the surface. Waiting Hai offered that rare opportunity, bringing together an unusual premise and layered characters while balancing humor with tension and intrigue. Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sameer Vidwans, the MX Original stars Harshita Gaur, Kumud Mishra, Vijay Maurya, Srushti Tare and Sunita Rajwar in pivotal roles. Produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Ajay Rai, Waiting Hai will stream on Prime Video from September 16.

She added that it is only natural for someone with such vast experience to share incidents from his journey during his media interactions.
