Shubhankar Sharma opens four-shot lead in Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship

Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Oct 8 (IANS) Shubhankar Sharma fired a seven-under 65 to establish a four-shot lead after the second round of the INR 2 crore Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship at the Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort in Greater Noida on Thursday. The 30-year-old Chandigarh golfer (68-65), who began the day two strokes behind overnight leader Shaurya Bhattacharya, made an eagle, seven birdies and two bogeys to reach 11-under 133. A two-time winner on the DP World Tour, Shubhankar returned to the winners circle at the Boulders Classic on the PGTI in April, ending an eight-year wait for a professional title. Chandigarhs Brashwarpal Singh (72-65) matched Shubhankar for the lowest score of the day. His seven-under 65 featured eight birdies and a solitary bogey as he surged from tied 11th overnight to second place at seven-under 137. Overnight leader Shaurya Bhattacharya (66-72) of Delhi slipped to third at six-under 138 after an even-par 72 containing three birdies and three bogeys. Bengalurus Khalin Joshi (72-67), a four-time winner on the DP World PGTI this season, climbed from tied 11th to fourth at five-under 139. His 67 featured an eagle on the par-five fourth, five birdies and two bogeys. Joshi entered the week second in the Race to DP World India Championship. Shubhankar was particularly encouraged by the control he displayed with his ball-striking after struggling to bring the different parts of his game together in recent weeks. I played really well and felt very solid throughout the round, he said. My ball-striking had not been at its best over the past few weeks, even though there was not much wrong with my game. Today, everything came together. I hit the ball exactly where I wanted, shaped shots both ways and felt in complete control. I could have holed a few more putts, but Im very pleased with the day, he said. The highlight of Shubhankars round came on the par-five fourth. After finding the left half of the fairway with his drive, he struck a six-iron from approximately 212 yards to 18 feet and converted the eagle putt. The putt just caught the left edge, he said. Most of my shots came off exactly as I had visualised them, and that was the most encouraging part. Shubhankar continued creating opportunities throughout the round, including on the final hole, where he struck his approach to about five feet but missed the birdie putt. There were several shots like that today, he said. Those are positive signs for this tournament and also for my preparations for next week. Shubhankar also praised DP World PGTI President Kapil Dev for his contribution to the growth of the DP World PGTI. Since Kapil Dev became President, more sponsors have come on board, while the organisation, social media and player facilities have continued to improve, Shubhankar said. The introduction of a players lounge is one example of the many positive changes on tour. Shubhankar, who played alongside Kapil in a Pro-Am in Hyderabad recently, said their shared Chandigarh connection made their interactions particularly easy. Despite being one of Indias biggest sporting icons, he constantly looks for ways to promote golf and move the sport forward, he said. Everyone in Chandigarh calls him Paaji, so speaking with him feels very easy. I have tremendous respect for everything he is doing for the game. Last seasons PGTI Order of Merit winner Yuvraj Sandhu (71-69) occupied fifth place at four-under 140. Current Race to DP World India Championship leader Saptak Talwar (75-72) climbed from tied 36th to tied 31st at three-over 147. The Pro-Am on Thursday was won by the team consisting of professional Shubhankar Sharma and amateur Rajeev Gupta. Their score was 48 stableford points.

The Gateway Paradox

TECHNOLOGY & NATIONAL SECURITY Kashmir knows what it is to lose a connection by order. India recorded 65 internet shutdowns in 2025, according to Access Now, and in Jammu and Kashmir the authorities went after VPN users under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, penalising roughly 800 people. Satellite broadband looks like the answer. A dish on a rooftop in a high-altitude village needs no local tower and no fibre run. In early September, the Digital Communications Commission approved a spectrum framework that moves Starlink, Eutelsat OneWeb and Jios satellite venture closer to commercial launch. But a network with no towers still has a throat. Every one of these services must land its traffic at a gateway on Indian soil, and whoever controls the gateway controls the switch. What the framework approves, and what it does not According to MediaNama, the commission cleared TRAIs recommendations on 3 September. Spectrum would be assigned for five years, with a possible two-year extension, at 5 per cent of adjusted gross revenue. Operators serving rural and remote areas may get a 4 per cent rate. The Department of Telecommunications rejected a proposed Rs 500 annual levy on urban subscribers. Three steps remain: Union Cabinet approval, formal spectrum assignment, and security clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs. The draft spectrum rules reported in June go further. They require government approval before consumer services launch, and they require authorisation to connect a satellite network to public telecom infrastructure. Starlinks own plans show where the weight sits. MediaNama reports about 20 earth stations across Noida, Chennai and Navi Mumbai, a capacity of up to 2 million users, and a terminal costing around Rs 33,000. Two million connections would run through a few facilities in three cities. A shutdown that moves from the tower to the gateway Today, a suspension order in Kashmir lands on telecom operators and their local infrastructure, district by district. It is blunt, and it is visible. Satellite links change the mechanics. If traffic for a whole footprint passes through a handful of gateways, one lawful order to one facility could darken a large area at once. The dish on the roof is hard to cut. The gateway in Noida is easy to switch off. That is my inference, and it has limits. The licence conditions that would govern gateway shutdowns are not public, and I could not verify whether they allow targeted, area-by-area suspension. What is public is the direction. MediaNama reported in June that security agencies under the Home Ministry had frozen Starlinks final clearances and wanted monitoring systems inside India and regular reporting to law enforcement. Starlink disputed the freeze and called its talks with the government active and productive. The design has a security logic. A gateway on Indian soil is the only place where Delhi can enforce anything against a foreign operator. It is also the place where a promise of shutdown-proof connectivity gets tested. The beam does not read maps MediaNama also reports that agencies are examining signal spillover near the borders. A satellite footprint over the Valley does not stop at the Line of Control. The same constellation that serves Gurez serves territory on the other side. Terminals add a second worry. The Indian Army recovered what it described as a Starlink device with weapons in Manipur in December 2024, per MediaNama, and terminals worked in Iran during that countrys conflict without proper licensing. A Rs 33,000 terminal fits in a rucksack. The states likely response is tighter control at the two points it can reach: the gateway and the terminal registry. Both are felt first by the legitimate user in a remote district. The smuggler who skips the registry still depends on a gateway that will carry the traffic, which is why the location of that gateway matters so much to security agencies. The steelman Keeping gateways in India is better than the alternative. A foreign operator running a network over Indian territory with no domestic control point would be a sovereignty problem of a different kind, and the Iran episode shows why agencies worry. Satellite links also survive physical damage that would take a tower or a cable offline, and that has real value in a region of floods and snowfall. So the argument is narrower. Resilience and control are being sold as one product, and they are two. The first protects users from accidents. The second protects the state from users, and the licence conditions will decide which one dominates. Bottom Line Satellite broadband will make Indias border regions harder to cut off by accident. It will also make them easier to switch off on purpose, from a few buildings in Noida, Chennai and Navi Mumbai. Before the Cabinet signs off, Delhi should publish the conditions under which a gateway can be ordered dark, and say who reviews that order. Kashmir has lived with the unpublished version for long enough. (The Author studies Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA.

Shaurya Bhattacharya opens with a two-shot lead in Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship

Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Oct 7 (IANS) Shaurya Bhattacharya opened with a six-under-66 to establish a two-shot lead after the first round of the Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship at the Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort in Greater Noida on Wednesday. The 23-year-old Bhattacharya, a three-time winner on the DP World PGTI, made seven birdies and dropped his only shot of the day on the par-four eighth. Bhattacharya began the week ranked 14th in the Race to DP World India Championship. He has come close to adding another title this season, recording joint runner-up finishes at the Players Championship 2026 in February and the Kolar Open 2026 in August. Chandigarhs Shubhankar Sharma, a two-time PGTI Tour winner, occupied second place at four-under 68. His round featured an eagle on the par-five 12th, three birdies and one bogey. Shubhankar won the Boulders Classic on the PGTI in April, ending an eight-year wait for a professional title. Bangladeshs Jamal Hossain, Gurugrams Dhruv Sheoran and Bengalurus Manoj S returned matching two-under 70s to share third place. Jamal made three birdies against a solitary bogey, while Sheoran mixed six birdies with four bogeys. Manoj registered five birdies and three bogeys. Shaurya settled quickly with birdies on his opening two holes before relying on accurate approach play and patient course management to maintain his momentum. I got off to a strong start with birdies on the first two holes, which helped me settle into the round, Shaurya said. From there, I continued finding greens and stayed patient. The lone bogey was disappointing, but I holed some important putts. A long birdie putt on the final hole provided the finishing touch to his 66 and extended his advantage to two strokes. The putt on the last felt like a bonus, he said. I knew it would be a long day, so the key was to remain calm, keep my thoughts together and focus on one shot at a time. The tournament features a distinctive Pro-Am format, with amateurs competing alongside professionals in all four rounds. The extended playing schedule also took part of the field into floodlit conditions. The format is quite interesting because we are playing alongside amateurs, and the number of groups makes it a long day, Shaurya said. Playing under floodlights also requires some adjustment, but I competed in an event here in similar conditions a few weeks ago, so that experience helped me adapt quickly. The conditions were the same for everyone. I concentrated on hitting greens, creating opportunities and maintaining a steady rhythm throughout the round. Current Race to India Championship leader Saptak Talwar opened with a three-over 75 to share 36th place. The Pro-Am on Wednesday was won by the team consisting of professional Shaurya Bhattacharya and amateur Dr. Hamidi. Their score was 44 stableford points, and they won on a countback.

EQT, Emami, Balaji Wafers join a 5500 cr war

New Delhi | Mumbai: Swedish private equity firm EQT Partners, Emami Ltd and Balaji Wafers have joined the fray to acquire Crax snacks owner DFM Foods, competing alongside other strategic and private equity suitors such as ITC, ChrysCapital and TPG, according to people with direct knowledge of the development.Talks are in early stages and non-binding bids for the deal are expected by the end of October. Advent International, which started the process to sell its entire 96.63% holding in Noida-based DFM Foods in July, seven years after acquiring the stake, expects to close the sale process by December. The potential deal is likely at a valuation of 5,000-5,500 crore, said one of the persons, who did not wish to be identified.134749429The development comes at a time when hyper-local and online-only rivals are chipping away at the market share of large snack makers such as PepsiCo, Parle and ITC Foods.We are exploring the possibility of buying into DFM Foods, Balaji Wafers' founder and managing director Chandu Virani said, confirming the negotiations.If finalised, the deal will come months after US private equity firm General Atlantic acquired a 7% stake in Balaji Wafers for 2,500 crore in January at a valuation of 35,000 crore.Queries emailed to Emami, ITC, Advent International, TPG and ChrysCapital remained unanswered until press time. EQT's spokesperson declined to comment.Advent International-which acquired a majority stake in DFM Foods from WestBridge Capital in 2019 for $118.8 million and later delisted it in January 2023-has mandated Avendus Capital and EY for the deal.DFM Foods reported net sales of 916 crore for 2025-26, regulatory filings showed up from 705.8 crore in the previous year.Both Emami and ITC are present in packaged snacks. Their interest in DFM Foods stems from their aim of capturing the youth segment for snacking, as well as deepening penetration in regional markets, said an industry executive.Kolkata-headquartered Emami expanded into packaged snacks-stepping beyond its mainstay edible oils, staples and personal care businesses-for the first time in August under its group entity, Emami Agrotech Ltd, with the launch of its WeMe snacking brand. Meanwhile, ITC operates multiple snack brands, including Yoga Bar protein bars, Bingo chips and Right Shift multigrain snacks and breakfast mixes.DFM Foods, established in 1984, manufactures potato chips, namkeens and millet snacks under brands such as Crax, Curls, Fritts and Natkhat.India's consumer sector witnessed a decline in deal-making activity during the April-June quarter, with deal volume falling sharply amid a more selective investment environment, according to Grant Thornton Bharat's latest Consumer Dealtracker released in July. However, total deal value remained resilient at $981 million, underscoring continued investor confidence in long-term, consumption-led growth, according to the tracker. It added that investors remained selective, focusing on wellness, personal care, food processing and digital-first consumer brands.The consumer sector saw 97 deals worth $981 million in the June quarter, a decline of 34% quarter-on-quarter in terms of deal volume and 33% in deal value, as per the tracker.
