As Tesla and Waymo intensify their robotaxi rivalry, Uber teams up with Momenta for driverless car experiments in Germany.
As it steps up its aspirations in the cutthroat robotaxi industry, Uber has announced intentions to start testing driverless cars in Germany next year in collaboration with Momenta, a Chinese self-driving technology company.Level 4 autonomous cars, which can function without human supervision in specified locations and under particular circumstances, will be the program's main focus.Notably, the ride-hailing behemoth has been gradually expanding its presence in autonomous mobility by working with well-known companies like Waymo, Lucid, and WeRide, all of which are owned by Alphabet. The rivalry in the market is getting more intense as Tesla continues to move forward with its own early-stage driverless taxi option.Regulators worldwide have been closely monitoring the commercial rollout of self-driving cars in the wake of high-profile mishaps involving autonomous systems, but progress has been slow.Through current automotive collaborations, Momenta, a provider of cutting-edge driver assistance software, reported that their technology is already installed in 400,000 vehicles. In May, Uber and Momenta first announced their partnership, which aims to expand robotaxi services outside of China and the US. The first significant step in that global approach is the upcoming German trials.Recall that Waymo has already declared its intention to introduce its robotaxi service in Dallas the following year, which is a calculated step to increase its presence in the US. The business will collaborate with Avis Budget Group, which will oversee the service's fleet operations.With this collaboration, Avis is directly funding a robotaxi fleet for the first time. As per the agreement, Waymo's smartphone application will be used by clients to book trips, and Avis will be in charge of infrastructure, readiness, car maintenance, and depot operations. With plans to eventually expand the partnership to other US cities, the corporations affirmed that the Dallas project is a part of a multi-year deal.

Dealmakers Have Their Busiest August Since '21, Reaching $1 Trillion in M&A
Following an August merger and acquisition frenzy, dealmaking during the normally quiet summer months has surpassed the $1 trillion mark.According to data provided by Bloomberg, since the beginning of June, companies have reported deals totaling $1.05 trillion. According to the data, it's the greatest total for this period since the record-breaking summer of 2021, when the pandemic triggered a boom in deals, and it's up 30% from a year ago.Union Pacific Corp.'s agreement to purchase railroad operator Norfolk Southern Corp. for more than $80 billion, including debt, was the largest deal announced so far in 2025. Additionally, Palo Alto Networks Inc. plans to pay roughly $25 billion to acquire cybersecurity firm CyberArk Software Ltd.Thanks to significant acquisitions like Thoma Bravo's $12.3 billion takeover of human resources software company Dayforce Inc. and CommScope Holding Co.'s $10.5 billion sale of a portion to Amphenol Corp., nearly $300 billion worth of deals have been signed in August alone. Ben Sibbett, head of Clifford Chance's Americas corporate practice, said the US administration shift has sparked agreements, even if the impact has been delayed. "That change has undoubtedly been a catalyst for the increased activity levels we are seeing, even though it has taken longer than we anticipated for M&A markets to pick up," Sibbett stated. "This summer has undoubtedly seen a spike in so-called mega-deals."While AT&T Inc. announced a $23 billion deal to acquire spectrum licenses from EchoStar Corp., Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. agreed to buy JDE Peet's NV for €15.7 billion ($18.2 billion), even in the normally slow week leading up to the US Labor Day weekend. The summer spike demonstrates how dealmakers have recovered well from a dismal start to the year, when excitement about M&A during US President Donald Trump's second term in office was tempered by the uncertainty surrounding his trade conflicts.As buyers and sellers argue over prices and general economic uncertainty persist, many procedures continue to be difficult. That’s kept the number of takeovers essentially steady compared to last year notwithstanding a few headline mergers. Nevertheless, businesses and their advisors are occupied with planning the upcoming wave of high-profile deals.

Indian drugmaker Natco Pharma has announced plans to acquire a 35.75% stake in Adcock Ingram, one of South Africa’s largest pharmaceutical companies, for ₹1,970 crore (around $236 million).

The deal will be carried out through Natco’s subsidiary, Natco Pharma Africa (Pty) Ltd, and is still subject to regulatory approvals in South Africa and India. Once completed, this would give Natco a strong foothold in the South African market. Adcock Ingram is a well-established name in the region, producing a wide range of medicines including over-the-counter products, prescription drugs, and hospital treatments. For Natco, the partnership is expected to bring long-term growth and access to a broader market. In a statement, Natco said this investment aligns with its plan to grow internationally in a sustainable way. The deal also reflects a shift by Indian pharma companies toward building a stronger global presence, especially in emerging markets.

In a new agreement, Greenko founders plan to purchase a stake from Orix.
According to persons acquainted with the situation, the founders of Greenko Energy Holdings, an Indian clean energy producer, are still in the process of acquiring Orix Corp.'s ownership part in the business, even though the Japanese financial organization said that the deal would not proceed. According to persons who asked not to be identified in order to discuss sensitive things, Greenko co-founders Anil Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli are modifying the deal structure to clear the path for the acquisition to move forward. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, Greenko's largest owner, with a 58% ownership, is Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, GIC Pte.The founders of Greenko had originally intended to finance half of the $1.46 billion purchase of Orix's 20% stake with cash, with the remaining portion to be financed through the issuance of convertible bonds by their firm, AM Green (Luxembourg). According to the people, the conditions are still negotiating and could change under the new structure, which would allow Greenko's founders to finance the acquisition with less cash and more convertible note investment. The size of a private loan supporting the sale has decreased from an initial $800 million to about $600 million, they added, in light of the expectations for the smaller cash portion.The loan will probably still rank among the biggest private credit agreements in India this year, where direct lending has exploded due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's infrastructure push, which is driving up demand for money for everything from roads to solar power.

To view all of the global market activity, please visit https://www.moneycontrol.com/markets/global-indices.On Wednesday, markets gained almost half a percent, continuing their upward trajectory. Following a gap-up beginning, the Nifty index spent the first half of the day moving within a small range. However, volatility in the second half of the day reduced some gains, and it ultimately finished around 24,973 levels.With advances of more than 2.5 percent, the IT sector maintained its recovery, followed by the real estate, banking, and energy sectors. The auto industry, on the other hand, saw profit booking following multiple outperforming sessions, losing more than 1%. With the midcap and smallcap indices rising between 0.75% and 1%, market breadth stayed strong, supporting the bullish tone in both frontline and broader markets.Positive foreign capital market flows following a period of persistent depreciation, as well as increased confidence regarding the status of trade discussions between the US and India, helped to boost sentiment and maintain the upswing.Although the markets are slowly rising due to encouraging signals, the Nifty will need to maintain its participation from the two main industries—banking and IT—in order to progress toward the 25,250–25,400 range. Support has moved to the 24,650–24,750 level on the downside. In order to build up fundamentally sound counters across the board, we advise employing intermediate drops or consolidation phases while keeping a positive bias.

Independent, Agile, Worldwide: How Team Pumpkin is upending the traditional agency structure
With its motto of "creative first, digital always," Team Pumpkin has made a name for itself in a field where performance and creativity frequently collide. Ranjeet Kumar founded the independent agency, which has expanded from its Indian origins to a global footprint while striking a balance between quantifiable business impact and storytelling. The founder and CEO of Team Pumpkin, Ranjeet Kumar, talks with Adgully about the agency's unusual name, its growth into Canada, and how independence continues to support its culture, adaptability, and future goals.Since pumpkins are a global sign of joy, celebration, and coziness—emotions we wish to instill in the brands we represent—we chose the moniker Team Pumpkin. However, like humans, pumpkins are incredibly adaptable and may be placed anywhere. As an organization, we were aware that we needed a name that was not just emotionally charged but also strategically distinct, memorable, and full of significance. In addition to appealing to our sense of fun and being instantly identifiable, pumpkin allows us to represent our creative energy, human-first philosophy, and nimble approach to business demands. The thing that shocked us the most when we first started was that brands were either working with digital-only companies where creativity was viewed as a secondary result or with traditional agencies that were attempting to "adapt" to the shift to digital. Digital campaigns that were very creative but performed poorly were clearly separated from those that were very successful but lacked imagination.We saw a need for an agency that treats digital as the platform for big ideas, brand-building, and storytelling—one that doesn't have to choose between the two worlds. That's how we arrived at our 'creative first, digital always' concept.Being a stand-alone organization is our biggest strength. We make decisions swiftly, are nimble, and move quickly. In order to enable our talent break away from systems and produce ideas that are based on the Indian context yet implemented to international standards, we encourage them to think freely but to collaborate closely. The freedom and responsibility that follow offer the opportunity to produce work that is both globally competitive and culturally meaningful.

Why Trump's tariffs may accelerate the trend of the RBI cutting its holdings in US Treasury assets
Over the past year, India has reduced its exposure to US Treasury Bills (T-bills), indicating a cautious move in the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) foreign exchange reserve policy ahead of US President Donald Trump's decision to impose a 50% tariff on Indian imports. As the trade-off is discussed in policy circles, a number of factors may come into play, but this pattern may become more noticeable in the future.Data from the US Department of Treasury shows that by September 2024, India's holdings of US securities had reached a peak of $247.2 billion, but by December 2024, they had steadily decreased to roughly $219.1 billion. As of June 2025, India, the tenth-largest T-bill investor, has around $227 billion in US Treasury securities, up from $242 billion in June 2024. The roughly $20 billion drop since September of last year is the result of a gradual cutover that took place over a number of months. The Indian Express Your monthly allotment of free stories has been used up. Sign up to read more stories. Register Have an account already? Log inAccording to analysts, under extraordinary circumstances—usually prompted by geopolitical or national security concerns—the US may freeze or restrict access to Treasury securities. Washington and its allies prevented Moscow from accessing a sizable portion of its foreign reserves stored abroad, including assets denominated in dollars and euros, when Russia invaded Ukraine. The episode made clear that the US can, under certain conditions, effectively deny a nation access to its Treasury holdings via the US financial system. A conceivable possibility, but an uncommon occurrence with limited precedent.A certain amount of moderation is seen in the RBI's own data. Overall foreign currency assets decreased to $567.55 billion in March 2025 as a result of India's holdings of global securities and T-bills, which dropped from $515.24 billion in September 2024 to $485.35 billion in March 2025. As of August 2025, the RBI has not yet released any data.

Axar Patel leads DC to a decisive victory over Rishabh Pant's LSG on a night that contrasts for the captains.
Returning to Lucknow for the first time since his unsatisfactory dismissal from the team, KL Rahul ended the game with a spectacular six to go undefeated in a run-chase with a 42-ball 57.On a night full of stories at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium, the Delhi Capitals won by 8 wickets in a 160-run chase, solidifying their status as this season's title contenders. KL Rahul, who is making his first appearance in Lucknow after his unsatisfactory dismissal from the team, ended the game with a spectacular six to go undefeated in a run chase with a 42-ball 57. In the twelfth over of their respective innings, LSG and DC both lost their second wicket. Axar Patel entered when a composed Abishek Porel collapsed. At this point, DC was only under a little pressure to take a few wickets, but it might have grown complicated because new batters take time to get comfortable. With two sixes over the midwicket zone, his favorite hit against spin, Axar took out Ravi Bishnoi in the very next over after Avesh Khan had dismissed him after four dot balls.In the following over, facing Avesh once more after being outscored by a few deliveries, he decided to take a chance and hit a four to try to clear the fielder at mid-off. The most impressive stroke came from Shardul Thakur, who took up a not-so-short ball with the weight still on his backfoot and sent it over long on for a six.

Nitish Rana on RR not selecting him for Super Over against DC despite 51 off 28: "One person never takes the call."
Despite hitting 51 off 28 balls against the Delhi Capitals, Nitish Rana was left out of the Super Over lineup as the Rajasthan Royals entered with Hetmyer and Riyan Parag.Nitish Rana remained in the middle until the 18th over of the chase after smashing 51 off 28 balls. At the Arun Jaitely Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday, the Rajasthan Royals sent neither batsman to bat despite Yashasvi Jaiswal's 51 off 37 balls in the Super Over against the Delhi Capitals. Eyes were rolling when Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag came out to bat in the Super Over. Rana wasn't even on the list of the three batters for the Super Over, but Jaiswal was chosen to bat following a wicket fall.RR's choice proved to be a poor one as Mitchell Starc of DC cramped the Hetmyer for space with yorkers and the reverse swing, allowing him to begin the Super Over with a dot ball. The Australian bowler was hit for four after missing his mark on the next delivery, but he recovered with another low full toss in the third ball. A single was taken by Hetmyer.Starc's low full toss was hit by Riyan Parag over third man for a boundary, sometimes known as a no-ball. After it appeared that RR would easily reach 15 with three balls left, the game took yet another sharp turn. RR was bowled out for just 11 as Parag and Jaiswal were ran out in the following ball.KL Rahul and Tristian Stubbs smash two sixes in the first three balls of Sandeep Sharma's Super Over to give DC a historic victory, so the total was insufficient. Following the game, Nitish Rana stated that the decision to send Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer instead of him for the Super Over was made by the RR management. Rana said he didn't have an alternative response, adding that if Hetmyer had hit a couple of sixes in the Super Over, the questions would have been different."The call is answered by management, not a single individual. Along with two other senior players and coaches, the captain is present. You wouldn't be asking this question if Shimron Hetmyer had hit two sixes. I'll respond with the same response. I have no other response. Every choice we made was the right one. Everyone knows that Hetmyer is our finisher. During the press conference, Rana stated, "He has previously delivered."

India's bold strategy aids in a quick T20 reconstruction
The world champions are creating an environment where players perform well without worrying about keeping their spots in the squad or taking wickets.Kolkata: Although it's early, the process and outcomes give hope that India would successfully defend the T20 World Cup at home the following year. Despite the pessimism caused by the Test and ODI transition issues, India's T20 trajectory stands out thanks to series victories against South Africa, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and now England. Even more so when one considers that Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Yashasvi Jaiswal have not been parachuted in.This is most likely a greater accomplishment.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has emphasized that sanctions would only make matters worse and reiterated Beijing's commitment to advancing peace negotiations to address hot-spot concerns.According to China Daily, he made the comments at a press conference in Ljubljana on Saturday following a meeting with Tanja Fajon, Slovenia's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs."China does not participate in or plan wars, and what China does is to encourage peace talks and promote political settlement of hotspot issues through dialogue," Wang Yi stated.Additionally, he called for the strengthening of multilateral structures, the promotion of multilateralism, and the cooperative defense of the UN Charter's goals and tenets. He emphasized that the current state of international affairs is marked by ongoing wars and entangled disarray."China and Europe ought to work together rather than against one another, and they ought to be allies rather than adversaries.

India condemns Israeli action for the first time, calling on Qatar to strike for violating its sovereignty.
Delhi, New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi denounced yesterday's Israeli missile assault as an invasion of Qatar's sovereignty during a call to the Emir of Qatar. Modi did not specifically name Israel in his public statement, but it was the first time India had used the phrase "condemn" in relation to any Israeli conduct during the Gaza war.A day later, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani, the Emir of Qatar, had a conversation with the Indian leader himself. The readout from Qatar stated that Modi had made the call."India condemns the violation of the sovereignty of the brotherly State of Qatar," Modi wrote on X after voicing his concerns to the emir. Modi added that he had conveyed to the emir of Qatar his "deep concern" and emphasized that India was "firmly in support of peace and stability in the region" and that it supported settling disputes "through dialogue and diplomacy. "Modi conveyed India's "strong condemnation of a cowardly Israeli attack" that targeted home premises used by Hamas officials, while also expressing sympathy with Qatar, according to the Qatari readout. India emphasized that the strike was "a blatant violation of international law and norms and a serious threat to the security of Qatar and the region," according to the statement released by the emir's office. Modi vehemently denounced "any aggression" that jeopardized Qatar's security and stability, according to the readout.The emir thanked Modi for his words and India's backing, and he stated that Qatar would take all necessary steps to protect its security and sovereignty. Modi added in his X post that India was "against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations." This statement is thought to be an attempt to strike a balance between the infrequent censure and India's customary stance, which supports Israel's counterterrorism strategy over its operations in Gaza. The Qatari readout contained no mention of terrorism.

Poland is the first NATO member to fire during the conflict in Ukraine after taking down drones in its airspace.
According to sources, from Tuesday night until the next morning, Polish F-16 fighter jets, Dutch F-35s, Italian AWACS observation planes, and NATO mid-air refueling aircraft scurried to shoot down drones that were invading Polish airspace. At 6:30 in the morning, while pensioner Tomasz Wesolowski was downstairs watching news about the incursion, a drone crashed into his two-story brick home in the eastern Polish village of Wyryki-Wola. Debris was scattered around the bedroom, and the roof was completely ruined. Reuters was informed by Wesolowski that the house "needs to be demolished." Other drones had fallen in a field in southeast Poland, as indicated by a burnt area.According to a senior Polish ambassador, the drones originated in Ukraine, and Moscow denied any involvement in the event. Russia's defense ministry claimed that although their drones had not intended to strike any targets in Poland, they had launched a significant attack on military installations in western Ukraine. Polish President Karol Nawrocki, a hardline nationalist and political friend whom Trump received at the White House last week, spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump. In a post on X, Nawrocki stated, "This conversation is part of a series of consultations I've been conducting with our allies." "Today's talks reaffirmed our unity. "Trump said on social media prior to the call: "Why is Russia using drones to invade Poland's airspace? "Here we go!" He didn't go into detail. NATO leaders, including those from France, Britain, Germany, and Canada, denounced the alleged Russian incursion.It justifies a coordinated reaction, according to European leaders who have been attempting to convince Trump to join them in strengthening sanctions on Russia and bolstering support for Kyiv. According to diplomats, Slovenia, Denmark, Greece, France, and Britain have requested a meeting of the UN Security Council on Friday to discuss what they consider Russian violations of Polish airspace. Poland said that during a massive Russian air strike on Ukraine, 19 objects had crossed its territory and that it had shot down the dangerous ones. The incident was described as a "large-scale provocation" by Tusk, who also claimed to have used Article 4 of the NATO treaty, which allows alliance members to request talks with their partners.NATO and Poland have not yet provided a detailed explanation of what they believe the drones were doing. At least five of the drones' flight routes pointed toward Rzeszow airport, NATO's primary base for armament supply to Ukraine, according to a senior military source.
