A six-month-old government ban on real-money gaming and online betting has failed to curb access, as offshore platforms remain easily accessible to Indian users without VPNs. These sites accept deposits via UPI, bank transfers, and cryptocurrencies, and aggressively market through digital ads and influencers on major social media platforms.
Advertising for these banned betting sites has continued at a high volume, with thousands of violations flagged by industry regulators. Payments are often processed through networks of individual "mule accounts" to obscure the money trail, presenting significant money laundering risks.
The main topics covered are the ineffectiveness of the online betting ban, the continued operation and marketing of offshore platforms, and the payment mechanisms and associated financial risks.
Infosys has extended its mandatory four-day office work week to employees at job level 6 and above in specific units, expanding it from previously higher levels. This is part of a broader push to increase office attendance, with HR reviewing monthly data and enforcing a requirement of 10 office days per month.
The move aligns with similar policy tightenings by peers like Wipro and TCS, as companies seek greater operational efficiency and collaboration. While Infosys maintains it follows a hybrid model, the stricter mandate has created some internal challenges, with managers noting difficulty enforcing the rules.
The main topics covered are Infosys's new return-to-office policy, the expansion to more employee levels, the company's justification for the hybrid model, and the industry-wide trend of enforcing stricter in-office work requirements.

A dedicated team in India is identifying, training, and qualifying these domestic suppliers to bridge remaining technical gaps. Additionally, Lam Research will soon open a new systems engineering lab in Bengaluru to support these efforts.
Main topics: Lam Research's supply chain diversification, development of Indian suppliers, and the establishment of a new engineering lab in Bengaluru.
Active tech job openings in India rose 9% month-on-month in March 2026, reaching a high not seen in over three quarters. However, demand remains 19% lower year-on-year, continuing a broader sector decline.
The short-term increase is attributed to companies deploying unspent hiring budgets from a slow fiscal year, rather than robust future growth forecasts. Hiring is being driven by non-tech functions like consulting, sales, and project management as AI disruption creates uncertainty for core tech roles.
A significant shift shows non-technology sectors now account for 53% of the demand for tech and engineering talent, overtaking the traditional tech sector.
Main Topics: Indian tech job market trends, AI impact on hiring, sectoral shift in employment demand.
