**Claude’s Technical Usage in India Significantly Higher Than Rest of the World**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | October 11, 2025, 05:29 PM*
Guillaume Princen, Global Head of Start-ups and Head of Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) at Anthropic, has revealed that half of the usage of their AI tool, Claude, in India is dedicated to technical purposes. These tasks include user interface (UI) design, code debugging, and software development. This is notably higher than the global average, where only 30% of Claude’s usage involves such technical applications.
**India: Anthropic’s Second Largest Market**
India, home to the world’s fourth-largest developer community, is Anthropic’s second largest market after the United States. Princen shared that around 33% of all Claude conversations globally take place in India, underscoring the scale and reach of Anthropic’s services in the country.
**Expansion Plans: New Office in Bengaluru**
To further strengthen its presence in India, Anthropic plans to open an office in Bengaluru by the first quarter of 2026. The new office will enable the company to launch key offerings more quickly and effectively in one of its largest markets.
Princen emphasized the importance of a local footprint, stating, “You’ll see more of us because we really want to have a local presence.” He added that Anthropic aims to be closer to its users and will build teams across the board to provide enhanced community support.
With these strategic moves, Anthropic is positioning itself to better serve the rapidly growing Indian tech ecosystem and capitalize on the high demand for AI-driven technical solutions.

**Why EVs and Semiconductor Components Are About to Become Costlier**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 11, 2025*
The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) has issued a warning that the ongoing trade conflict between the United States and China is poised to drive up prices for electric vehicles (EVs), wind turbines, and semiconductor components. This caution comes in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a new 100% tariff on Chinese imports, set to take effect on November 1, 2025. The move is a response to China’s recent export controls on rare earth minerals—critical to the US defense, EV, and clean energy sectors.
### Trade Implications: Tariffs to Reach 130%
With the introduction of this new tariff, the total tariff rate on Chinese goods will soar to approximately 130%. This marks the most significant escalation in US-China trade tensions since the initial tariff war began. According to the GTRI report, “The impact will be felt quickly. Prices of EVs, wind turbines, and semiconductor parts are expected to rise.”
Furthermore, the report highlights that China may pivot its supply chains to favor its non-Western partners, thereby strengthening alternative industrial networks outside of Western influence.
### Strategic Negotiations: US Reliance on China
The GTRI report draws attention to the strategic importance of rare earth minerals to US industries. It suggests that Washington may soon have little choice but to engage in fresh negotiations with Beijing. Unlike the often impulsive US approach, China appears more deliberate and better prepared in its trade strategy.
The report underscores America’s heavy dependence on China not only for critical electronics but also for textiles, footwear, white goods, and solar panels. This dependency leaves the US vulnerable to retaliatory measures from China.
### Economic Impact: Potential Backfire of Tariff Strategy
As tariffs push prices higher, President Trump may face challenges in controlling inflation and managing production costs domestically. The GTRI warns that his tough stance on China risks backfiring, potentially harming US consumers and undermining his broader economic agenda.
### Trade Advice: India’s Strategic Approach
The GTRI report also offers guidance for India, urging the country to negotiate with the US carefully and on equal terms to ensure reciprocity while preserving its strategic autonomy. Rather than depending on uncertain US promises, New Delhi is advised to prioritize building self-reliance in critical technologies and minerals.
This strategy could insulate India’s economy from future trade shocks and leverage its neutral position to strengthen relationships with both Western nations and BRICS economies.

**Mutual Funds Pump ₹6,420 Crore into IPOs During September Quarter**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 11, 2025, 05:29 PM*
Indian mutual funds invested ₹6,420 crore in initial public offerings (IPOs) during the July-September quarter of 2025, marking a 13% increase from the previous quarter. This notable surge in investment is attributed to steady inflows into equity schemes via systematic investment plans (SIPs) and lump-sum investments.
According to data from the PRIME Database, mutual funds have played a crucial role in anchoring IPOs, with their participation as anchor investors rising by 32% to ₹5,129 crore last quarter.
### Surge in Large Issuances
Mutual funds’ investment in IPOs through qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) increased significantly, rising 13% from ₹5,689 crore in the June quarter to ₹6,420 crore in the September quarter. This growth is largely driven by a surge in large issuances over recent months.
The number of fresh issuances also jumped sharply to 46 from just 15 in the previous quarter, reflecting a more vibrant IPO market.
### Mutual Funds as Key Anchor Investors
Mutual funds play a vital role as anchor investors in IPOs. They commit to holding 50% of their shares for 30 days and the remaining shares for 90 days. This lock-in period requirement distinguishes them from non-anchor QIBs, which do not have any mandatory lock-in.
Despite market volatility and subdued benchmark index returns this year, investors continue to place strong confidence in mutual funds. Many see them as a strategic way to tap into India’s long-term growth story.

**Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff Now a Supporter of Donald Trump**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 11, 2025, 2:26 PM*
Marc Benioff, the billionaire CEO of Salesforce, has surprised many with a dramatic shift in his political stance. In a recent interview with *The New York Times*, Benioff expressed his full support for President Donald Trump and suggested that National Guard troops should patrol the streets of San Francisco. This new position marks a sharp departure from his previous liberal-leaning views and philanthropic efforts in the city.
**Unexpected Support**
During the interview, Benioff openly praised Elon Musk for his efforts to enhance government efficiency. He also recounted a moment from a Windsor Castle state dinner where he told President Trump, “how grateful I am for everything he’s doing.” Interestingly, Benioff admitted that he had not been closely following news about immigration raids or Trump’s media controversies.
**A Reflection of a Broader Trend**
Benioff’s political transformation aligns with a growing trend in Silicon Valley toward accepting Trump. However, the interview also highlighted potential tensions within his inner circle. When his public relations executive reacted to the political questions, Benioff noticed and asked, “What about the political questions? Too spicy?” This exchange suggests that not everyone around him shares his new political views.
Marc Benioff’s shift marks a significant moment in tech and political circles, signaling evolving attitudes that could have broader implications for the industry and its relationship with government policies.

**Why Reliance Power’s CFO Has Been Arrested by the ED**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 11, 2025, 11:08 AM*
**Overview**
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Ashok Pal, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Reliance Power, in connection with a money laundering case. The arrest took place on Friday night following questioning related to an alleged fake bank guarantee worth ₹68 crore. Pal is scheduled to be produced before a special court, where the ED will seek his remand for custodial interrogation.
**Details of the Case**
According to the ED, Ashok Pal played a key role in the financial activities of the company and was instrumental in submitting a bogus bank guarantee on behalf of Reliance NU BESS Limited, a subsidiary of Reliance Power. The fake bank guarantee, valued at ₹68.2 crore, was submitted to the Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) with the intent to defraud.
**Exposure of a Larger Racket**
The ED’s investigation has uncovered a broader racket involving the provision of fake bank guarantees to various business groups. An Odisha-based company, Biswal Tradelink, has been identified as a primary player in this fraudulent scheme. In August, the agency conducted searches on the firm and its promoters and arrested its Managing Director, Partha Sarathi Biswal.
Earlier, the Reliance Group had stated that Reliance Power was a victim of fraud in this matter.
**How the Scheme Operated**
Preliminary investigations revealed that Biswal Tradelink used an email domain strikingly similar to that of the State Bank of India (SBI) to create a false impression of authenticity. This fake email domain was used to send forged communications to SECI.
Additionally, the company facilitated fake billing for commission purposes and operated multiple undisclosed bank accounts used for suspicious transactions amounting to crores of rupees.
