About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the UAE's exit from OPEC, measures taken by Amazon and Flipkart during a heatwave, and corporate responses to workplace safety issues in India.

India is drafting a new urea investment policy to plug a major fertiliser supply gap and reduce costly import dependence. Meanwhile, the UAE’s exit from OPEC could loosen global oil supply, lower prices and ease India’s inflation pressures. As temperatures cross 40°C, e-commerce giants Amazon and Flipkart are expanding heat protections for delivery workers, though unions want stronger safeguards. In corporate India, firms including HCL Tech, Wipro and Tech Mahindra are tightening workplace safety and POSH measures after the TCS Nashik harassment case.
