Crude oil prices fell to their lowest since September on Friday, as tough talk from two of the world's big central banks reinforced fears about the outlook for the global economy and consequently for oil demand. 

Hawkish comments from U.S. Federal Reserve officials on Thursday were followed by the first acknowledgment from European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde that the Eurozone's central bank will have to lift interest rates above their neutral level to actively slow the economy in order to tame inflation. 

Such talk puts two of the world's three biggest demand centers for oil on course for a deeper recession than priced in by markets.

Edtech firms Byju's and Unacademy have cut hundreds of jobs; social media giant Twitter has laid off more than half of its staff in India and Indians are among those affected after Meta - Facebook's parent company - shaved off about 13% of its 87,000-strong workforce.

He said that even though two Indian companies produced the Covid vaccines during the pandemic, India still lags behind in technology and research. He also added that the Covid vaccines are based on technology or research from developed countries and that India hasn't developed a vaccine for dengue or chikungunya yet.

The IT stalwart also excoriated the state of education, especially technical and scientific education in India.

Elon Musk is changing a lot of things at Twitter. From letting go of 50 per cent of staff to charging for the blue tick and more, Musk has introduced a whole lot of changes at Twitter. Now, it is said that Musk will be charging for meals at Twitter which he said was offered free of cost till now. An ex-Twitter employee schooled him and said Musk is lying. 

The billionaire claimed that the "estimated cost per lunch served in past 12 months is >$400." An ex-Twitter employee, Tracy Hawkins, who recently resigned because she didn't want to work with Musk said the Twitter boss is lying. "This is a lie. I ran this program up until a week ago when I resigned because I didn't want to work for @elonmusk," she said.
