Kushal Kolthe, a senior revenue manager at holiday home rental company Vista Rooms, was put on leave without pay in late March. “Initially some of us were asked to take a sabbatical but as the Covid situation worsened, we were told to go on LWP. They were very upfront and transparent about it,” says the Mumbai resident. “Of course I wasn’t really happy about it but I understood it’s a difficult decision.” In the intervening months, Kolthe tried to start a brand with his friends which kept him occupied for a while. Then, in August he got a new job… his old one.Rehiring has become a bit of a trend of late, says Munira Loliwala, Business Head, Permanent and Specialised staffing, Team-Lease, a staffing company. “Across industries, 40% of our client base is considering or looking at rehiring laid off workers.

New Delhi: The trading of renewable energy certificates (RECs) is likely to be resumed after a gap of four months on November 25 as electricity tribunal APTEL has completed all hearings and may issue the final judgement soon on the REC pricing issue. Trading of RECs or green certificates is done on the last Wednesday of every month on the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) and the Power Exchange India (PXIL). The green certificates trading was suspended in July this year after the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) decided to postpone the trading by four weeks, while hearing three separate petitions related to an issue of fixing floor and forbearance prices of RECs by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC). Talking to on the issue, PXIL Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Prabhajit Kumar Sarkar said, "The APTEL has completed all hearings and kept the order reserved on the issue (of REC pricing). We expect the final order to be released soon, which would p...

Mumbai: This unproven Wall Street legend has endured nine long decades. It purportedly concerns a precocious shoe-shine boy, the father of JFK, and the catastrophic 1929 October crash that heralded the arrival of the Great Depression. The story is rather simple: When a shoe-shine boy gave stock tips to Joseph Patrick ‘Joe’ Kennedy in the summer of 1929, the wise investor equated his unsolicited advice to a grave warning sign. He cashed out – just days before the fatal crash.Nine decades later, in another October rendered more dreary and dull than usual by the protracted lockdowns, the initial share sale of a fintech company is reminding the faint hearted of the 1929 frenzy. Retail bidding for the Ant Group in mainland China and Hong Kong has lined up confirmed offers amounting to $3 trillion at last count – roughly equivalent to 80% of the 2020 nominal GDP of Germany, the world’s fourth-biggest economy.Of course, such staggering demand for the biggest IPO on record has meant unpreceden...

MUMBAI: Broadcaster Zee Entertainment Enterprises may post around 50 per cent decline in net profit in the quarter ended September, while net revenues may have dropped up to 28 per cent as advertising rates continue to reel under pressure due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, and subscriptions revenues may be flat on a high base.While industry-wide advertising revenues have been improving gradually, they still remain under pressure as corporate spending has not yet picked up fully amid the current economic slowdown.Analysts also hope for better cash generation, sustained balance sheet improvement and update on funds recovery on sale of overseas investments earlier this year.Kotak Institutional Equities expects Zee Entertainment to report a decline of 53.3 per cent in the net profit from a year ago, while it believes net sales may have shrunk 17.4 per cent.Kotak analysts expect 25 per cent decline in ad revenues (down 65 per cent YoY in 1Q) and modest 2 per cent YoY growth in domestic s...

Nachiket Shetye and Bansi Kotecha have a lot on their plate since the pandemic began. Six months ago, they co-founded Kytchens, a “kitchen as a service” tech platform, out of Mumbai. Almost instantly, restaurants from across the country inundated them with requests to create models to take food to clients’ doorsteps, while retaining the packaging, presentation and taste patrons would have experienced if they had come in to eat. Many of these requests that turned into business for Shetye and Kotecha — who get into strategic partnerships with food and beverage brands to help them grow and expand — were from restaurants that seldom or never delivered before. It showed how even the fanciest of restaurants were adapting to the new reality. In a pandemic-struck world, where going to a restaurant has become anxiety-ridden or bothersome, restaurateurs have decided to take gourmet food and great experiences to the customers. Hundreds of high-end restaurants have suddenly popped up on the delive...

By Kriti GuptaJust days before the U.S. election investors are largely positioned for a surge in risk sentiment under a Blue Wave scenario. For a handful of assets, there’s a chance that they’re completely wrong.Will a Joe Biden victory trigger an equities rally if the Senate remains Republican? Can Big Tech repeat its 273% ascent under President Donald Trump? Does the Democrats’ plan to shift to renewable energy mean oil’s dead? Bloomberg’s Markets Live team debated these topics and more in a live discussion and came up with alternative views beyond the consensus.Senate RiskConsensus view: A Biden victory helps risk assetsNon-consensus view: A Trump win helps risk assets -- but only with a Democratic SenateThe Senate race is key for fiscal stimulus. The gap between aid proposals from the Trump administration and House Democrats is narrow, so a flipped Senate could unlock more than $2 trillion of assistance. That could send the S&P 500 toward 3,650, a two standard deviation move fr...

By Sarah PonczekThere’s been a narrative in trader circles for some time now that they’re fine with, maybe even a little excited about, the prospect of a Joe Biden presidency. Many a rally has been ascribed to growing chatter about the possibility of a blue wave on Election Day.And yet, for some investing veterans, there’s a nagging concern that this view is a little optimistic, that some of the things that have made Biden an attractive candidate for voters craving change could make for a rougher ride in markets.For one thing, they note, there’s his pledge to roll back the huge tax cuts that President Donald Trump handed corporate America back in 2017, a move that, irrespective of the public-policy merits it may have, at least has the potential to create stress for equities. There’s also the fact that Biden repeatedly says he cares little about what happens to the market. Even if that’s sloganeering and not quite true, it’s hard to believe he cares about it as much as Trump, who at tim...

By DK AggrawalInvesting in dividend yield stocks is one of the ways of creating wealth and receiving a steady stream of income. Dividend-paying stocks allow investors to profit in two ways: stock price appreciation and payouts made by the company. Dividends are basically a portion of the income that a company distributes among its shareholders.Some established companies have the practice of disbursing the majority of their annual profits annually among investors in order to establish goodwill in the market.A company's dividend policy is often seen as a testament to its confidence in future earnings growth and sustainability of the business. In another words, a good track record of dividend payments is a strong sign of reliability and an indication that the stock would give good returns in future.Such companies already tend to have strong market presence, which justifies the risk factor to some extent. Holding stakes in the companies that distribute regular dividends can lead to hig...
