So the Rupee is falling and we thought it would be a nice idea if we could post a short thread simplifying a few reasons why our currency is slipping
#RupeeVsDollar #Rupee
1. US-China trade war. Long story short, when two global giants slug it out & bleed themselves dry, it leaves a gaping hole in the global economic fabric. Slow growth globally means slow growth in India because India is also a part of this fabric.
2. Also, there's all this talk about a slowdown & stuff. So investors aren't really stoked about investing in India. Which means that the Indian rupee is no longer in demand because you need the Rupee to invest here. And when something isn't in demand, its value deteriorates
3. Also, many investors who believed the government would usher in a new era of economic prosperity have been left bitterly disappointed with the budget which increased taxes on Foreign Portfolio Investors ( read as people overseas who invest in Indian markets)
4. These foreign investors are in turn pulling out their money and are moving it to relatively safer places, like US Government bonds. And in the process, they exchange the rupees that they owned, for the dollars needed to buy US bonds.
5. This creates more demand for the dollar pushing its value up, while the Rupee depreciates because nobody wants it anymore. Also if you can think of other reasons why the rupee is on the slide. Please add them on this thread. Will help out other people. Cheers

Boeing is in trouble, and a deal it struck around 25 years ago is to be blamed.

What?!! 👀👇🏽 Image
You see, Boeing started as an "engineers" company.

But then in 1997, the aircraft manufacturer merged with McDonnell Douglas and things started to change.

The new entity started focusing more on affordability, rather than quality.
The company wanted to create shareholder value now, and not build quality aircraft.

And this shift in company culture started jeopardizing the business too.

But a company can still recover from an impact on business.

The RBI made ₹2.20 lakh crores profit in FY23!

How on earth did it achieve this? 🧵👇🏽 Image
Well, through something called ‘seigniorage’.

Think about it this way—

If the RBI prints a ₹100 note and gives it to a bank for circulation.
The bank has to ‘buy’ the note and transfer the full face value of ₹100 to the RBI’s coffers.

But the only cost the RBI incurred was probably ~₹2 to print the note.

Nov 2022: Valued at $450 Mn, ZestMoney was all set to be acquired by PhonePe.

Dec 2023: ZestMoney shuts down!

What changed?

🧵👇🏼 Image
2023 hasn’t been kind to ZestMoney–

The funding dried up;
PhonePe backed away from the acquisition;
And even the 3 founders resigned in May.

The reason?
Well, the business model itself.

See, if you made a purchase via ZestMoney, they’d take care of the bill at no cost– and you’d have to pay it back in installments over 3–6 months without interest.

And the company made money in 3 ways —

In 1995 Steve Jobs became a billionaire. But..

It wasn't because of Apple😲! Surprising, right?

Well, here's the story of what happened 🧵👇🏽

(Like❤️& RT🔄️) Image
See, the story starts in 1986 when after being forced out of Apple, Steve Jobs acquired Pixar from filmmaker George Lucas for a mere $5 million. And further invested another $5 million in the company. Image
At that time, Pixar was just a fledgling computer graphics division of Lucasfilm. However, Jobs saw the potential in the technology and the creative minds behind it!

But, the road to success was far from smooth for Pixar. Image
