Trump stated he had previously informed Apple CEO Tim Cook that iPhones destined for the U.S. market should be manufactured within the country, not in India or any other location. If Apple fails to comply, Trump declared, the company would be required to pay a tariff of at least 25% on its U.S. sales.</p><p class="my-0">Apple has been diversifying its manufacturing base in recent years, moving significant portions of iPhone assembly from China to India. This shift is partly a response to earlier U.S.-China trade tensions and an effort to reduce supply chain risks. However, Trump’s renewed tariff threat is seen as an attempt to force Apple and other major American corporations to “reshore” their supply chains and boost domestic employment.</p><p class="my-0">The proposed tariff could significantly raise the price of iPhones in the U.S. market, potentially impacting sales and profits for Apple, which remains one of the world’s most valuable technology companies. Apple has not issued a public response to Trump’s latest remarks.</p><p class="my-0">Industry analysts note that assembling iPhones in the United States would dramatically increase production costs due to higher wages and operational expenses. For example, the assembly cost per iPhone in India is estimated at around $30, while in the U.S. it could exceed $390, not including components and logistics. Even with a 25% tariff, overseas assembly remains considerably cheaper than domestic production, suggesting that Apple would face a difficult choice between absorbing higher costs or raising retail prices for American consumers.</p><p class="my-0">Trump’s threat comes amid broader concerns about inflation and economic uncertainty tied to rising import costs. The announcement caused turbulence in global financial markets, with Apple’s share price and major stock indices declining in response.</p><p class="my-0">Trump has indicated that his proposed tariff policy would not only apply to Apple but could also extend to other smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung. He argued that it would be unfair to single out one company and that all smartphones sold in the U.S. should be made domestically to avoid tariffs.</p><p class="my-0">The ultimatum highlights ongoing tensions between government efforts to promote domestic manufacturing and the realities of global supply chains in the technology sector. It remains unclear whether such tariffs would be legally enforceable against a specific company, and whether Apple will adjust its manufacturing strategy in response to the threat.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/trump-threatens-apple-of-steep-25-tariffs-over-overseas-iphone-production/">Trump threatens Apple of steep 25% tariffs over overseas iPhone production</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com">Business Newsmakers</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/trump-threatens-apple-of-steep-25-tariffs-over-overseas-iphone-production/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Mark Rober’s Desi Adventure: India Welcomes the King of Science Pranks and Backyard Inventions</title> <link>https://businessnewsmakers.com/entertainment/mark-robers-desi-adventure-india-welcomes-the-king-of-science-pranks-and-backyard-inventions/</link> <comments>https://businessnewsmakers.com/entertainment/mark-robers-desi-adventure-india-welcomes-the-king-of-science-pranks-and-backyard-inventions/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[PNN]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2025 12:42:08 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Entertainment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Backyard Inventions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[King of Science Pranks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mark Rober’s Desi]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://businessnewsmakers.com/mark-robers-desi-adventure-india-welcomes-the-king-of-science-pranks-and-backyard-inventions</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Image-7.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Mark Rober" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Image-7.jpg 1200w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Image-7-300x169.jpg 300w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Image-7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Image-7-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>New Delhi [India], May 23: India’s innovation scene just got a turbo boost with the arrival of Mark Rober, the former NASA engineer turned YouTube genius, known for his jaw-dropping science videos, squirrel obstacle courses, and the iconic glitter bomb.

But this time, Rober isn’t just here to blow minds—he’s here to spark a national wave of creativity with the launch of his ₹50 lakh <strong>#MarkRoberJugaad</strong> contest.</p><p>Arriving to a warm welcome from fans across the country, Rober kicked off his Indian tour with a bang—quite literally—by teaming up with Indian content creators who share his obsession with pushing limits and bending the rules of physics. He made surprise appearances at science festivals, hosted meetups in tech hubs like Bengaluru and Hyderabad, and even took time to visit schools and colleges, where students showcased their homegrown STEM projects.</p><p>Rober’s mission is crystal clear: <strong>unleash India’s Jugaad spirit on a global stage</strong>. And what better way to do it than with a nationwide challenge that invites inventors as young as 8 years old to build something mind-blowing from household items? Whether it’s a bicycle-powered mixer, a fan made from discarded motors, or a solar-powered school bag, this contest celebrates what India does best—turning limited resources into limitless possibilities.</p><p>The <strong>contest</strong>, which runs from <strong>April 30 to September 15, 2025</strong>, is open to all legal residents of India. To enter, participants must post a video on Facebook, Instagram, X, or YouTube using the hashtag <strong>#MarkRoberJugaad</strong>, and importantly, submit the link to their video through the official website <a href="https://www.markroberjugaad.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.markroberjugaad.com</a>. Only entries submitted with a valid video link will be accepted. And yes, your social media profile must be public.</p><p>But Rober’s visit wasn’t just about launching a contest—it was also about building bridges between creators across continents. His <strong>collab with CarryMinati</strong> was nothing short of legendary. From roasting Rober’s squirrel maze to attempting to build one out of Indian street items, the duo brought science and satire together like never before. Meanwhile, his episode with <strong>Tech Burner</strong> gave viewers a geeky peek into India’s growing gadget culture, dissecting jugaads from a techie’s lens.</p><p>One of the most talked-about moments was Rober’s <strong>scientific face-off with Mr. Indian Hacker</strong>, where they went head-to-head in a timed junkyard challenge: build the most useful contraption using scrap materials in under an hour. The results? An automatic shoe polisher and a rain-sensing clothesline. Internet gold.</p><p>Food science got its own spotlight too. In a lighthearted episode with <strong>Curly Tales</strong>, Mark explored India’s chaats and thalis through chemistry and physics, breaking down why pani puri crunches and how biryani aroma disperses. The highlight? Creating a working food dehydrator from a repurposed tiffin box.</p><p>Adding a sporting twist to his Indian tour, Rober met with <strong>Hardik Pandya</strong> for a one-of-a-kind cricket science session. Together, they experimented with ball aerodynamics, bowling angle trajectories, and reflex drills. The duo even created a motion-capture device to analyze batting stance versus swing outcomes.</p><p>Rober’s core message, delivered at every event and collaboration, has been consistent: <strong>STEM is cool, accessible, and should be playful</strong>. His work through <strong>CrunchLabs</strong>, a monthly subscription that delivers DIY engineering kits and science-backed entertainment, has been wildly popular in the U.S. With India’s strong emphasis on education and growing digital reach, the timing for a challenge like this couldn’t be better.</p><p>The top <strong>10 winners of the #MarkRoberJugaad contest</strong> will each walk away with ₹5 lakh and a spotlight on Rober’s massive digital platform, including a potential feature in a special global video.

The investment, routed through Foxconn’s Singapore-based subsidiary, involves the purchase of 12.77 billion shares in Yuzhan Technology India, which is responsible for producing electronic components and assembling iPhones.</p><p>This move is part of Apple’s broader strategy to diversify its supply chain, reducing reliance on China amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and trade tariffs. The new facility, located in the Oragadam industrial hub adjacent to Foxconn’s existing iPhone assembly plant, will focus on assembling display modules — a critical component in iPhones. Once operational, the plant is expected to be one of the largest investments in India’s electronics sector and create approximately 14,000 jobs.</p><p>Apple has rapidly increased its manufacturing footprint in India over the past year. In the 12 months through March, the company assembled $22 billion worth of iPhones in India, marking a production increase of nearly 60 percent compared to the previous year. The bulk of these devices are assembled at Foxconn’s factories in southern India, with additional contributions from Tata Group and other suppliers.</p><p>The Indian government’s production-linked incentive schemes and infrastructure incentives have played a key role in attracting global electronics manufacturers like Apple and Foxconn. Tamil Nadu, in particular, is positioning itself as a major hub for Apple product manufacturing, with investments from multiple component suppliers and the creation of tens of thousands of jobs.</p><p>The $1.5 billion investment underscores Apple’s commitment to its “China-plus-one” strategy, aiming to mitigate risks from supply chain disruptions and tariff policies. The company has also indicated plans to import a majority of iPhones sold in the United States from India by the end of next year.</p><p>Despite political pressure from the United States to bring manufacturing back home, Apple continues to expand its presence in India, signalling a long-term shift in its global production strategy. The Chennai investment not only strengthens Apple’s supply chain resilience but also cements India’s role as a critical player in the global electronics manufacturing landscape.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/foxconns-1-5-billion-investment-cements-chennai-as-apples-new-manufacturing-hub/">Foxconn’s $1.5 billion investment cements Chennai as Apple’s new manufacturing hub</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com">Business Newsmakers</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/foxconns-1-5-billion-investment-cements-chennai-as-apples-new-manufacturing-hub/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>US-India trade deal deadline looms amid tariff concerns</title> <link>https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/us-india-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns/</link> <comments>https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/us-india-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[News Features]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2025 06:54:11 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://businessnewsmakers.com/us-india-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/US-India-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/US-India-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns.jpg 1200w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/US-India-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns-300x169.jpg 300w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/US-India-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/US-India-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>India and the United States are working intensively to announce an interim trade agreement before 8 July, as a 26 per cent reciprocal tariff imposed by Washington on Indian goods is set to take effect unless a deal is reached.

The additional tariff, introduced by the US on 2 April, has been temporarily suspended for 90 days, providing both nations a narrow window to resolve key trade differences.</p><p>Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal is currently in Washington, leading negotiations with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Discussions have focused on securing a full exemption for Indian exports from both the 26 per cent additional tariff and the existing 10 per cent baseline US duty. Indian officials have indicated that the interim pact is expected to cover goods, non-tariff barriers, and select services such as digital trade.</p><p>India is pushing for greater market access for its labour-intensive sectors, including textiles, leather, gems and jewellery, garments, plastics, chemicals, and agricultural products. In return, New Delhi may consider offering concessions such as minimum import prices or quotas to protect sensitive domestic sectors like agriculture and dairy.</p><p>The negotiations are being conducted in phases. The first phase, targeted for completion before the 8 July deadline, aims to deliver early mutual gains and prevent the imposition of the steep US tariffs on Indian goods. Both sides have also agreed to continue talks with the goal of finalising a broader bilateral trade agreement by the autumn, with a long-term vision of more than doubling bilateral trade to 500 billion US dollars by 2030.</p><p>The US administration retains the authority to remove the reciprocal tariffs on Indian goods, while any move to lower tariffs below most-favoured nation rates would require congressional approval. The outcome of the current talks will be crucial in shaping the future of India-US trade relations, especially amid ongoing global economic uncertainties.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/us-india-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns/">US-India trade deal deadline looms amid tariff concerns</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com">Business Newsmakers</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/us-india-trade-deal-deadline-looms-amid-tariff-concerns/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>India-UK Free Trade Agreement opens new opportunities for both countries</title> <link>https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/india-uk-free-trade-agreement-opens-new-opportunities-for-both-countries/</link> <comments>https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/india-uk-free-trade-agreement-opens-new-opportunities-for-both-countries/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[News Features]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2025 19:43:08 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://businessnewsmakers.com/india-uk-free-trade-agreement-opens-new-opportunities-for-both-countries</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/India-UK-Free-Trade-Agreement-opens-new-opportunities-for-both-countries.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/India-UK-Free-Trade-Agreement-opens-new-opportunities-for-both-countries.jpg 1200w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/India-UK-Free-Trade-Agreement-opens-new-opportunities-for-both-countries-300x169.jpg 300w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/India-UK-Free-Trade-Agreement-opens-new-opportunities-for-both-countries-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/India-UK-Free-Trade-Agreement-opens-new-opportunities-for-both-countries-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>The recently concluded India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) marks a significant milestone in the economic partnership between the world’s fifth and sixth largest economies.

The agreement, finalised after three years of negotiations, eliminates tariffs on 99 percent of Indian exports to the UK and reduces import duties on 90 percent of tariff lines for UK goods entering India, with 85 percent becoming fully tariff-free within a decade. This is expected to double bilateral trade to over $100 billion by 2030.</p><p>New opportunities for Indian exporters are substantial, with sectors such as textiles, marine products, leather, footwear, sports goods, gems and jewellery, engineering goods, auto parts, and organic chemicals set to gain enhanced access to the UK market. The agreement is projected to create significant employment opportunities in India’s labour-intensive industries, while also boosting the competitiveness of Indian products in the UK.</p><p>For the UK, the FTA opens the vast Indian market to British goods and services. Notably, tariffs on whisky will be halved from 150 percent to 75 percent, and further reduced to 40 percent over ten years. Automotive tariffs will drop from over 100 percent to 10 percent under a quota system. Other British exports such as cosmetics, medical devices, advanced machinery, and food products will also see reduced duties, making them more affordable for Indian consumers.</p><p>The agreement also facilitates greater mobility for skilled Indian professionals, with more visas and a three-year exemption from social security contributions for Indians temporarily working in the UK. This not only reduces costs for Indian service providers but also strengthens their presence in the British market.</p><p>Both countries stand to benefit from increased investment, innovation, and job creation. The FTA sets a benchmark for future trade agreements and deepens the strategic partnership between India and the UK, positioning both nations for stronger economic growth in the coming years.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/india-uk-free-trade-agreement-opens-new-opportunities-for-both-countries/">India-UK Free Trade Agreement opens new opportunities for both countries</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com">Business Newsmakers</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/india-uk-free-trade-agreement-opens-new-opportunities-for-both-countries/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Neha Kakkar accused of lying about payment and causing concert chaos</title> <link>https://businessnewsmakers.com/entertainment/neha-kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos/</link> <comments>https://businessnewsmakers.com/entertainment/neha-kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Bollywood Features]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 30 Apr 2025 09:39:06 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Entertainment]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://businessnewsmakers.com/neha-kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Neha-Kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos-6.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Neha-Kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos-6.jpg 1200w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Neha-Kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Neha-Kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Neha-Kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos-6-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>Indian playback singer Neha Kakkar is facing controversy after Australian event organisers accused her of refusing to perform at a Melbourne concert attended by 700 people, resulting in a three-hour delay.

The incident occurred during her recent Australia tour, where she had two back-to-back shows – one in Sydney, which reportedly went smoothly with 1,500 to 2,000 attendees, and the contentious Melbourne event that drew a smaller crowd.</p><p><strong>Organisers’ version of events</strong></p><p>Australian event organisers Pace D and Bikram Singh Randhawa, who were involved with the Melbourne show, allege that Kakkar declined to take the stage upon seeing the modest audience size, insisting she would not perform unless the venue was filled. They claim this refusal led to a significant delay, with the singer eventually appearing on stage three hours after the scheduled start time. Many fans, who had paid up to 300 AUD for tickets, expressed their frustration and disappointment, reportedly booing Kakkar when she finally performed for less than an hour.</p><p><strong>Dispute over payment and arrangements</strong></p><p>Kakkar publicly stated that she was not paid for the Melbourne concert and that her team was denied basic necessities such as accommodation, food, and water. However, the organisers have strongly denied these allegations, asserting that she was paid in full before arriving in Australia, which they say is standard practice for such events. They also maintain that hotel and travel arrangements were made for Kakkar and her team, and that all technical requirements for the show were met, pointing out that opening acts performed without issue.</p><p>Organisers further contend that they, not Kakkar, suffered financially due to the low turnout, claiming a loss of approximately 500,000 AUD. They have described Kakkar’s public statements as misleading and have challenged her version of events, stating that all necessary arrangements were in place.</p><p><strong>Kakkar’s response</strong></p><p>In response to the backlash, Kakkar posted a video on social media in which she broke down and apologised to fans for the delay. She reiterated her claims about the organisers’ mismanagement and lack of payment, expressing that she and her team performed despite difficult circumstances out of respect for her fans.</p><p>The dispute has sparked widespread debate online, with both parties standing by their respective accounts of the Melbourne concert fiasco.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com/entertainment/neha-kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos/">Neha Kakkar accused of lying about payment and causing concert chaos</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com">Business Newsmakers</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://businessnewsmakers.com/entertainment/neha-kakkar-accused-of-lying-about-payment-and-causing-concert-chaos/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ falls short of box office expectations on opening day</title> <link>https://businessnewsmakers.com/entertainment/salman-khans-sikandar-falls-short-of-box-office-expectations-on-opening-day/</link> <comments>https://businessnewsmakers.com/entertainment/salman-khans-sikandar-falls-short-of-box-office-expectations-on-opening-day/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Bollywood Features]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2025 12:36:47 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Entertainment]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://businessnewsmakers.com/salman-khans-sikandar-falls-short-of-box-office-expectations-on-opening-day</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Salman-Khans-‘Sikandar-falls-short-of-box-office-expectations-on-opening-day-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Salman-Khans-‘Sikandar-falls-short-of-box-office-expectations-on-opening-day-2.jpg 1200w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Salman-Khans-‘Sikandar-falls-short-of-box-office-expectations-on-opening-day-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Salman-Khans-‘Sikandar-falls-short-of-box-office-expectations-on-opening-day-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Salman-Khans-‘Sikandar-falls-short-of-box-office-expectations-on-opening-day-2-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>Salman Khan’s much-awaited film ‘Sikandar’, directed by A.R.

Murugadoss, hit cinemas on 30 March 2025, coinciding with the Eid celebrations. Despite the high expectations and pre-release buzz, the film’s opening day collection has not been as strong as anticipated.</p><p>On its first day, ‘Sikandar’ reportedly earned around ₹26 crore at the domestic box office, lagging behind other recent releases. Globally, the film is said to have managed to cross ₹50 crore, but it fell short of setting new records.</p><p>The film’s occupancy rates varied across key cities, with Chennai reportedly registering the highest at approximately 46%, while Mumbai and Delhi saw relatively lower figures. This mixed response has raised concerns about its long-term box office potential.</p><p>Ahead of its release, ‘Sikandar’ had secured a significant amount through non-theatrical deals. The film earned around ₹165 crore from digital streaming, satellite, and music rights, covering a substantial portion of its reported ₹200 crore budget. However, despite these strong pre-release earnings, its theatrical performance remains a crucial factor in determining its overall success.</p><p>The lukewarm response on the opening day suggests that the film may need strong word-of-mouth and weekend footfall to sustain momentum. While Salman Khan’s star power remains a major draw, competition from other films and audience reception will play a key role in shaping its box office journey in the coming days.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com/entertainment/salman-khans-sikandar-falls-short-of-box-office-expectations-on-opening-day/">Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ falls short of box office expectations on opening day</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com">Business Newsmakers</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://businessnewsmakers.com/entertainment/salman-khans-sikandar-falls-short-of-box-office-expectations-on-opening-day/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Usha Vance’s planned Greenland visit meets fierce criticism</title> <link>https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/usha-vances-planned-greenland-visit-meets-fierce-criticism/</link> <comments>https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/usha-vances-planned-greenland-visit-meets-fierce-criticism/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Business Newsmakers]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 24 Mar 2025 19:53:48 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://businessnewsmakers.com/usha-vances-planned-greenland-visit-meets-fierce-criticism</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Usha-Vances-planned-Greenland-visit-meets-fierce-criticism-Representational-image.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Usha-Vances-planned-Greenland-visit-meets-fierce-criticism-Representational-image.jpg 1200w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Usha-Vances-planned-Greenland-visit-meets-fierce-criticism-Representational-image-300x169.jpg 300w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Usha-Vances-planned-Greenland-visit-meets-fierce-criticism-Representational-image-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Usha-Vances-planned-Greenland-visit-meets-fierce-criticism-Representational-image-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>The upcoming visit of Usha Vance, the Second Lady of the United States, to Greenland has ignited significant backlash from local leaders and citizens.

Scheduled for March 27 to March 29, Vance’s trip is intended to coincide with Greenland’s national dogsled race, the Avannaata Qimussersu, and is framed by the White House as a cultural outreach aimed at celebrating Greenlandic heritage. However, this initiative has been met with accusations of imperialism and aggression from Greenlandic officials.</p><p>Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte B. Egede has been particularly vocal in his criticism, labelling the visit as “highly aggressive.” He argues that the presence of U.S. officials, including National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, signals an ulterior motive beyond mere cultural appreciation. Egede contends that the involvement of a national security adviser is indicative of an attempt to assert dominance over Greenland rather than promote goodwill. He expressed concerns that this visit could intensify American pressure in light of President Donald Trump’s previous statements regarding the annexation of Greenland.</p><p>The backdrop to this diplomatic controversy is Trump’s ongoing interest in acquiring Greenland, a territory rich in rare earth minerals crucial for high-tech industries. Despite firm rejections from both Denmark and Greenland regarding any proposals for annexation, Trump’s rhetoric has raised alarms about U.S. intentions in the Arctic region. Egede noted that Greenlanders feel their diplomatic efforts are being disregarded by the Trump administration, which appears focused on asserting control over the territory.</p><p>In response to the planned visit, leaders in Greenland have announced a boycott of Usha Vance’s activities during her stay. Jens-Frederik Nielsen, who is expected to lead Greenland following recent elections, echoed Egede’s sentiments, describing the timing of the visit as disrespectful given ongoing negotiations for greater autonomy and independence from Denmark.</p><p>While the White House maintains that Vance’s trip is about cultural engagement and unity, scepticism remains among Greenlanders who view it as a provocative move amid heightened geopolitical tensions. The situation underscores the fragile nature of U.S.-Greenland relations and raises questions about how such diplomatic efforts will be received by a population increasingly wary of foreign interference.</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/usha-vances-planned-greenland-visit-meets-fierce-criticism/">Usha Vance’s planned Greenland visit meets fierce criticism</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://businessnewsmakers.com">Business Newsmakers</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://businessnewsmakers.com/business/usha-vances-planned-greenland-visit-meets-fierce-criticism/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Beyond Business – How K9 Vitality is Building a Community of Empowered Pet Parents in India</title> <link>https://businessnewsmakers.com/lifestyle/beyond-business-how-k9-vitality-is-building-a-community-of-empowered-pet-parents-in-india/</link> <comments>https://businessnewsmakers.com/lifestyle/beyond-business-how-k9-vitality-is-building-a-community-of-empowered-pet-parents-in-india/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[PNN]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 24 Mar 2025 11:25:18 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Educating Pet Parents]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Empowered Pet Parents]]></category> <category><![CDATA[K9 Vitality]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://businessnewsmakers.com/beyond-business-how-k9-vitality-is-building-a-community-of-empowered-pet-parents-in-india</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PNN1200x675-2303-7.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="K9 Vitality" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PNN1200x675-2303-7.jpg 1200w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PNN1200x675-2303-7-300x169.jpg 300w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PNN1200x675-2303-7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://businessnewsmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/PNN1200x675-2303-7-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div><p>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 24: In the world of pet care, where businesses often focus purely on sales, K9 Vitality stands out with a bigger vision—building an informed, engaged, and empowered community of pet parents.

Many pet parents are unfamiliar with the role of supplements and how they can support gut health, joint mobility, skin wellness, and overall immunity.</p><p dir="ltr">“Our goal is to simplify pet wellness,” says Aman Patial, Founder of K9 Vitality. “We focus on providing easy-to-understand content, expert insights, and real customer experiences so that pet parents can make informed choices.”</p><p dir="ltr">Through social media, blog articles, email newsletters, and direct customer support, K9 Vitality actively engages with pet parents, answering common concerns like:</p><p dir="ltr"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/2714.png" alt="✔" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> How do probiotics support gut health in dogs?<br /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/2714.png" alt="✔" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> When should I start my dog on joint supplements?<br /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/2714.png" alt="✔" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> What are the benefits of Omega-3s for skin and coat health?<br /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/2714.png" alt="✔" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> How can I transition my dog to a healthier diet?</p><p dir="ltr">By making science-backed information accessible, K9 Vitality ensures that pet parents feel empowered rather than overwhelmed.</p><h4 dir="ltr"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>The Role of Word-of-Mouth and Real Customer Experiences</strong></span></h4><p dir="ltr">One of K9 Vitality’s strongest growth drivers has been organic recommendations from pet parents who have seen real results.</p><p dir="ltr">“I was skeptical about supplements, but after trying K9 Vitality’s probiotics, my dog’s digestion improved, and his energy levels increased.
