What Was That 29 April - FIIs are Back, an Unbundled Car, Antitrust Cases Heat Up

Nitesh is in West Rajasthan in his infuencer Era - carrying podcasting equipment to remote parts of the country, finding hidden gems. 

The FIIs are back. This is absolutely not investment advice - we don't know anything about anything, remember - but we do get into how sentiment is everything when it comes to the markets. 

There's a new car in the US market - and this is interesting because it's completely unbundled! $20,000 after subsidies, but that includes no paint, no speakers, no entertainment. At least it has a steering wheel. Will it catch on?

Also, a lot of antitrust action going on - against Meta and Google, both in the same building! In different rooms, thankfully. The US Department of Justice has proposed remedies to rid Google of its monopoly.
