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?

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.

Is India staring at a monsoon crisis?
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.
In the upcoming Business Standard Dialogue, we take a deep dive into the implications of a potentially weak monsoon — from crop output and rural demand to inflation and broader economic stability. The webinar will offer a timely preview of what lies ahead and how stakeholders can prepare for rainfall shortfalls.
