From a Tamil Nadu Farm to the Boardroom Battle: The N. Chandrasekaran Story TATA GROUP · GOVERNANCE & MARKETS September 25, 2026 From a Tamil Nadu Farm to the Boardroom Battle: The N. Chandrasekaran Story A farmer's son who quietly rebuilt TCS is now at the center of the loudest succession fight in Indian corporate history — and it's been shaking Tata stock for a week. Reading time · 6 min If you follow Indian business news even casually, you've probably seen the name "N. Chandrasekaran" trending lately — usually next to words like "Tata," "stock crash," or "boardroom feud." But behind the headlines is one of India's most remarkable corporate journeys: a farmer's son from a small Tamil Nadu village who became the most powerful executive in India's biggest business empire.

Nepal's Prime Minister Delivers a Stark Climate Warning to the World Global Affairs · Climate Nepal's Prime Minister Delivers a Stark Climate Warning to the World When a Himalayan nation speaks at the UN, the world should listen. At the United Nations General Assembly this year, Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra "Balen" Shah did something few world leaders manage to do at that podium: he made the abstract concrete. Instead of reciting diplomatic talking points about sustainable development goals and multilateral cooperation, he opened with an admission that stopped the room — he wished he could talk about progress, democracy, and peace, but instead he had come to talk about death and destruction on an epic scale. It was not rhetorical flourish. Four weeks before he stepped up to that podium, flash floods tore through Nepal's mountain communities in an event many Nepalis have started calling the "Himalayan tsunami." Families a...

The Bhagavad Gita: Ancient Words That Can Heal a Modern, Anxious Mind The Bhagavad Gita: Ancient Words That Can Heal a Modern, Anxious Mind Why a 5,000-year-old conversation on a battlefield still helps people cope with today's chaos Picture this: you're standing at the edge of the biggest decision of your life. Your hands are shaking. Everything you know is on the line. And instead of running, instead of freezing, you sit down and have an honest conversation about fear, duty, purpose, and peace. That's the setting of the Bhagavad Gita — one of the most quietly powerful texts ever written. It's not a distant religious lecture. It's a real-time emotional breakdown followed by real-time healing. A warrior named Arjuna, moments before a massive battle, suddenly can't move. His body goes numb. His mind spirals. He tells his charioteer, Krishna, that he simply cannot go through with it. Sound familiar? Swap "battlefield" for "job inter...
