Floods dash Nepal's China trade hopes, entrench reliance on India

Yeah that's what my shopkeeper says. He got multitudes of products he sells to me, he brags he is very influential. Lol! Even my other neighbours want to buy from his shop, or take small loans from him for buying from him, he is so influencial indeed. But that doesn't mean he is part of our neighborhood. China is thousands of miles away with Tibet sitting in between and it shows.

What a fool still have delusion. Tibet is Chinese territory, period. No matter how much you people are unhappy about it and want to deny it, it's a fact, you just cant change it. What you Indians think dont count and have no bearing on China. Watch for the seven sisters states break away instead.

the AI shock will create mass unemployment of Indian back office workers leading to tens of millions of loss jobs and destruction of Indian economy. This will cause India to blame each other and erupt into states leaving the union and balkanisation will be complete. China is now at the forefront of AI technology and it would be to no ones surprise that China will develop the AI that kills Indian IT engineers and backoffice jobs in India.

India will look something like this:

If AI wipes out jobs on that scale, you think the rest of the world will just sit back with popcorn and enjoy the show and only India will suffer? The whole world will have bigger issues to deal with when shit hits the fan...

Whole world already watching India with popcorn right now lil homie. Instead of hiring millions, Indian IT and backoffice is firing them. All those poor graduates with no jobs in IT and can't use broken english no more have to go back to using firewood for cooking food because can't even afford Gas no more.

Indian IT firms and global capability centers are reducing their workforces as the industry shifts from labor-intensive models to automated, AI-driven efficiency. [1, 2]

Key Reduction Figures & Trends

• • Headcount Decline: India's top five IT services firms (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCLTech, and Tech Mahindra) collectively added almost zero net jobs or cut thousands of roles, marking a structural break where rising revenue no longer equals mass hiring. [1, 2, 3]
  • Major Reductions: Companies like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Wipro have shed tens of thousands of roles over recent fiscal periods, heavily impacting mid-level and senior management. [1, 2, 3]
  • Global Capability Centers (GCCs): Multinational firms and GCCs (including Oracle, PayPal, and Visa) have cut thousands of positions in hubs like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune. [1, 2]

Core Drivers of Downsizing

• • Artificial Intelligence & Automation: Routine coding, testing, and support tasks are increasingly handled by AI agents and automated workflows, reducing the need for large entry-to-mid-tier headcounts. [1, 2, 3]
  • Shift to Outcome-Based Pricing: Clients now pay for tech outcomes and efficiency rather than raw headcount (labor arbitrage), forcing firms to operate with leaner teams. [1]
  • Strategic Reallocation: Budgets are shifting away from traditional legacy services toward specialized infrastructure, cloud computing, and advanced AI development. [1, 2, 3]

This guy has completely lost it The moment he sees “India” anywhere, he shows up repeating the same crap and derailing the thread. It’s everywhere now. The obsession, the jealousy, the constant twisting of everything…
