Huge! Great for Indian manufacturing.

Open to differing views

This should help everyone understand the true picture of income brackets Indians fall in, where do viners belong?

- Apple is projected to increase its revenue by 20 percent, crossing $9.5 billion in 2024, driven by iPhone sales and other categories like MacBooks and iPads. - Apple's market share in India is expanding due to its premium positioning, brand aspiration, and increased retail presence in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, along with local manufacturing under the 'Make in India' initiative. - Non-smartphone revenue for Apple in India is expected to reach $1.3 billion in 2024, with iPhone revenues alone around $8.2 billion. - Apple achieved 10 million iPhone shipments in 2023, with an expected growth of 18-20 percent in 2024, driven by new phone launches and festive season sales. - Despite challenges like intense competition and reduced seasonal demand, Apple's non-iPhone categories, such as Mac and iPad, showed strong performance, contributing to record revenue in the June quarter.

What do you all think about the laptop import ban? Good or bad?

Had a chat with a legendary soonicorn founder yesterday evening and his take was that we are definitely not getting another bull run this decade. I obviously think more optimistically and hopefully things will look up soon. What do you all think about this tho?

This is absolutely meme material!! They declared that 75% of employees will work from home by 2025, and before even 2025, they reverted that and now claiming everyone to come to office all 5 days!! I mean not even Hybrid, but all 5 days!! News mentioning recent report of asking employees to come all 5 days- https://m.economictimes.com/tech/information-tech/tcs-asks-employees-to-return-to-office-five-days-a-week-may-end-work-from-home-from-october/articleshow/104049381.cms

I attended an interview today with the Apple IS&T team for an opening. Both the panelists didn't bother to turn on the camera the whole time. Ok top of that the questions being asked were so trivial and mediocre. I have experience in S/4 HANA and have worked in various industries and processes , rather than asking on solution design and approach the interviewer were asking stuff like what checkbox you have to check in config for this setting. Even though I answered all questions correctly I was rejected in the 1st round itself. Checked the interviewer's profile she is a long timer from Infosys who has landed in Apple somehow. Either she hasn't worked in the area she was asking questions or maybe she rejected me so that someone of her preference will get selected. Bloody sham of a process. On a second thought I see a lot of ex Infy long timers in Apple, seems very fishy, is there some internal lobbying going on there.

Basically title, globally what would be the share of Indians working in the BigTech's/MNCs' engg teams..? In MSFT I feel like I see atleast one or more Indians in every team I come across... May be it's some bias that I only remember the teams with Indians but still feels like indians form the major part of the global tech work force.. have you felt the same..?

Budget 2024 scrapped the angel tax for all investors, creating the ultimate playground for innovation and entrepreneurship in India.

Does Infosys provide used laptop even to full time employees or only to their third party employees ???
