Stepping up oil exploration for energy security
The West Asia crisis has been a reality check for India’s oil exploration scene. With its heavy dependence on imported crude oil and natural gas, the country has been at the receiving end of the global supply shocks during the war. As geopolitics turns increasingly volatile, the need to intensify exploration of domestic oil reserves is a priority for India, more than ever before.
What is India’s goal on oil exploration? What needs to be fixed? What are the challenges on the way? To discuss these issues and more, we have a powerful panel of experts.

The webinar on July 9 will take you to the scene of action, Goa, to capture the transformation that this global destination is witnessing. During the Monsoon and beyond.

Mission Sudarshan Chakra: One Year On
We are approaching the first anniversary of the Prime Minister announcing the launch of Mission Sudarshan Chakra in his Independence Day address. The initiative aims to establish an expansive missile and air defence shield by 2035.
What are the technological challenges involved, and can India overcome them with homegrown solutions? How has Operation Sindoor informed the mission? More than a year after the operation, how is India placed in defending its airspace?
This webinar examines these questions and attempts to take stock of where we stand, and how far we still have to go, in pursuit of this mission.

How will India gain as a data centre hub?
Global tech majors are increasingly looking at Indian cities to set up their data centres. Already, India figures in the top 10 international list, coinciding with the exponential rise in demand for processing artificial intelligence (AI) datasets. With ambitious growth projections and tax sops by the government, India could well become the data centre capital of the world in the coming years.
Is India going to be a data centre destination because of its real estate prowess? How will we meet the huge demand for power and water at these data centres? Will India have a tech and R&D advantage in all this? What is India’s gain, and what are the challenges it might face in a journey that has just begun? Experts will share their views on this very pertinent subject at the Business Standard webinar this week.

Return of the net neutrality debate
Years after net neutrality occupied centre stage, as against the ‘walled garden’ or closed digital ecosystem, the debate has made a comeback. A telecom company recently launched a value-added service for its post-paid customers through slicing of spectrum, triggering an outcry that the principle of net neutrality had been breached.
During this webinar, experts will discuss the various aspects of net neutrality, which implies that all internet traffic must be treated equally without any discrimination by network providers.

Breaking boundaries in nuclear power
Nuclear power, which was a no-go area for the private sector for decades, now offers significant opportunities to the industry.

What will make the new era in the power sector work? How will the citizens benefit? What are the implications for the stakeholders, including the incumbents?

Cybersecurity in the time of Mythos
Mythos has kept the world engaged ever since its announcement in April. What is it about Claude Mythos--the extremely advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Anthropic--that's making everyone sit up? Besides the threat it poses to cybersecurity, what are the other disruptions to be watchful of? What kind of regulatory landscape is required to deal with a tool that's super-efficient but has the potential to cause unimaginable harm?
This episode of Business Standard Dialogue will attempt to provide answers to all the above questions and more, while decoding the technical jargon.

Op Sindoor: 'After action report'
A year after Operation Sindoor—the most consequential India–Pakistan clash since Kargil—the subcontinent remains in a tense holding pattern. Conceived as part of New Delhi’s long-running effort to impose costs on what it alleges is state-sponsored terrorism, the operation marked a shift in the region’s deterrence equation: a move from border stability alongside sub-conventional violence to calibrated, stand-off retaliation under the nuclear umbrella.
It also introduced a new grammar of conflict. Sindoor saw the large-scale use of drones, ground-launched missiles, and air-launched cruise missiles—effectively bringing non-contact, kinetic warfare into the India–Pakistan playbook. The fighting may be “paused”, but it has not ended.
What, then, has changed in the year since May 10, 2025? Have the lessons been internalised—in doctrine, production, and operational readiness? And if a similar operation were to unfold today, would India prosecute it differently, or more effectively?
This webinar examines those questions: how Sindoor reshaped escalation dynamics, what gaps it exposed, and whether India is better prepared for the next round—whenever it comes.

With the southwest monsoon just weeks away, concerns are mounting over the possibility of below-normal rainfall and its ripple effects on agriculture, economic growth, and business activity.
