  • Payments Firm PayPal To Reduce Global Workforce By 9% In 2024 |

    New Delhi: Payments firm PayPal Holdings is planning to cut about 2,500 jobs, or 9 percent of its global workforce, this year, a letter from CEO Alex Chriss, seen by Reuters, showed on Tuesday.

    In the letter to staff, newly appointed CEO Chriss said the decision was made to “right-size” the company through both direct cuts and the elimination of open roles throughout the year. The staff that will be affected are expected to be notified by the end of the week. (Also Read: How To Download Nirmala Sitharaman’s Full Budget Speech In Few Clicks? Check)

    “We are doing this to right-size our business, allowing us to move with the speed needed to deliver for our customers and drive profitable growth,” Chriss wrote in the letter. (Also Read: Capturing Moments: President Offers Dahi To Nirmala Sitharaman Ahead Of Budget)

    The company also posted the letter to its website after the market closed. Paypal’s shares ended the day down 0.13 percent. In November, Chriss said he expects to increase revenue outside of purely transaction-related volume and pledged to turn the fintech firm leaner by reducing its cost base.

    Though the announcement had helped rally the stock after third-quarter results, analysts have remained focused on PayPal’s margins in recent quarters.

    The company’s low-margin business products have risen strongly, while growth in its branded products has slowed due to increased pressure from competitors such as Apple.

    Investors hope Chriss, who was previously a senior executive at software company Intuit, will revive PayPal’s stock. It fell nearly 14% last year and missed a broader sector-wide rebound in high-growth technology shares.

    Last week, the payments firm announced it was launching new artificial intelligence-driven products as well as a one-click checkout feature.

    Meanwhile, rival Block, led by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, also began to cut jobs this week as part of its previously disclosed plans to trim headcount and reduce costs, a source told Reuters.

  • Champai Soren To Take Oath As Jharkhand CM Today, Floor Test In 10 Days |

    New Delhi: In significant development amid the political turmoil in Jharkhand, Champai Soren, a prominent figure in the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha party, is scheduled to be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand today.

    On Thursday, Jharkhand Governor CP Radhakrishnan extended an invitation to Champai Soren to Raj Bhavan to establish the government in the state. Champai Soren, a supporter of JMM leader Hemant Soren, has been entrusted with the responsibility to prove his majority in a floor test, scheduled to take place within the next 10 days.

    On Thursday, Champai Soren, along with 43 legislators, met Jharkhand Governor CP Radhakrishnan at Raj Bhavan, staking a claim to form the government in the state.

    Amidst escalating political tension in the state on Thursday evening, Congress leaders seized the opportunity to condemn the BJP, accusing it of “crushing the mandate in every state.”

    “Immediately after the resignation of the coalition government in Bihar, the Governor had sent an invitation to form a new government. But the invitation to form a government was not sent even a day after staking claim in Jharkhand,” Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said in a post on X.

    “First, the Chief Minister was forced to resign by imposing ED. He was arrested. Now there are reports that efforts are being made to buy the MLAs by stopping the formation of the new government. First Bihar, then Chandigarh and now Jharkhand – BJP is crushing the mandate in every state by influencing through money,” she added.

    Congress leader, Mallikarjun Kharge expressed disapproval of the Jharkhand Governor’s delay in extending an invitation to Champai Soren, the leader of the JMM legislature party, to establish the government in the state.

    “In the House of 81 MLAs, only 41 are majority. Despite having the support of 48 MLAs, not inviting Champai Soren ji to form the government is clearly a disrespect to the Constitution and denial of public opinion,” Kharge said in a post on X.
    Meanwhile, JMM leader and former chief minister Hemant Soren was sent to one-day judicial custody by a special PMLA court in Ranchi in connection with an alleged land scam case.

    Soren was arrested on Wednesday night by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) after six hours of questioning in the money laundering case linked to the alleged land scam.

  • Sarfaraz Khan’s Father Compares His Son With THIS Pakistan Cricket Legend | cricket news

    In a cricketing world that is constantly evolving, emerging talents are the lifeblood of the sport. Sarfaraz Khan, a name resonating in the cricketing circles, is set to make his international debut in the second Test against England. What sets him apart, however, is not just his impeccable record in domestic cricket but the fascinating story behind his journey, as shared exclusively with JioCinema. Sarfaraz Khan, at 26, already carries the weight of immense expectations on his shoulders. Interestingly, he draws inspiration from a cricketing legend, Javed Miandad. In a candid revelation, Sarfaraz mentions that his father sees a striking resemblance between his batting style and that of the Pakistani great. This familial connection to Miandad adds a layer of sentiment and aspiration to Sarfaraz’s pursuit of excellence.

    Sarfaraz Khan said, “I like to watch Virat Kohli, AB De Villiers, Sir Vivian Richards. I also enjoy watching Joe Root play.” (JioCinema).pic.twitter.com/ybIfqjYph9

    — Virat Kohli Fan Club (@Trend_VKohli) February 1, 2024

    “I like to watch Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Sir Vivian Richards, and even Javed Miandad because my dad has told me that I play like him. I watch Joe Root’s batting also. Anyone who is succeeding, I am watching them to see how they are doing it so I can learn and apply it when I am in the middle. I want to continue doing this, whether it’s in the Ranji Trophy or playing for India in the future,” said Sarfaraz to JioCinema.

    Daily Grind and Observations

    Sarfaraz’s commitment to his craft is evident in his rigorous training routine. Playing 500-600 balls every day has become a habit, and he attributes his success to an insatiable hunger for improvement. ‘My strength is that I am not satisfied easily. I play 500-600 balls every day. If I don’t play at least 200-300 balls in a match, I feel like I haven’t done much. It’s a habit now. Practice in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I am used to only one thing, batting and facing deliveries. If you want to play five-day cricket, you have to stay patient and practice every day. I play cricket all day and that’s why I can stay on the pitch for a long time,’ Khan said.

    The Road to International Cricket

    Having enjoyed tremendous success in the domestic circuit, Sarfaraz’s call-up to the Indian Test team is a testament to his consistent performance. His prolific run-getting ability, showcased by a splendid 161 off 160 balls against England Lions, sets the stage for a promising international career. The unexpected opportunities arising from injuries to key players like Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul opened the door for Sarfaraz to prove his mettle on the grand stage.

    Father’s Role in the Journey

    Behind every successful athlete is a support system that fuels their dreams. Sarfaraz acknowledges the pivotal role his father, Naushad, played in shaping his cricketing journey. From introducing him to the sport to providing unwavering support during challenging times, Sarfaraz recognizes the impact of his father’s efforts. The father-son duo’s commitment is a narrative that resonates with aspiring cricketers and fans alike.

    “My father introduced me to cricket, and I always wondered why am I even playing. By nature I am an attacking batsman and I used to get out sooner than other and scoring big runs was getting difficult. It was disheartening to see others succeed while I wouldn’t be among the runs. Even when I moved from Mumbai to UP, he would take flights to come and see me. He would start bowling to me on the terrace or the road itself before selection trials. Now I realize the impact. and importance of those efforts. When I came back to Mumbai from UP, I was scared if this would bring a halt to my career and I strongly felt there was no future ahead of me, but my dad always stood by me. There’s no guarantee. in life if you don’t get opportunities. But my dad always believed in hard work, and everything I have is a result of that work,” he added.

    Decision Dilemma: Patidar or Sarfaraz

    As India faces the challenge of filling the void left by KL Rahul’s absence, the debate emerges: Rajat Patidar or Sarfaraz Khan? Both players boast impressive first-class records, making the decision a tough one for the team management. Patidar’s experience in high-pressure situations, especially in the IPL, contrasts with Sarfaraz’s ability to thrive on Indian pitches.
