What is the fuss? A standard method for stock selection is to bet on sunrise industries. Think of green energy, electric vehicles, AI-first companies, etc. While companies working in sunrise sectors might become investors’ favourites, those still working in sunset industries are not.

With job uncertainty, automation and AI partially replacing mundane skills and reducing the lifespan of hard skills make retirement planning all the more essential. You may never know if the job market will make you irrelevant sooner rather than later. To add to this are the advances in medical science and advanced healthcare.

The tragic incident that occurred on 27th July which caused the death of three civil service aspirants due to flooding inside the basement of a coaching centre in Delhi’s Old Rajinder Nagar was long coming.
