详细摘要

There is only one man who has been at the centre of attention this week. At one point, Jensen Huang couldn’t get enough of the spotlight; now he can’t escape it! Indian memers are having a field day, and the FIIs’ newfound love for India isn’t even being spoken about! Read more in this week’s Markets Espresso!

Hello there, Espresso Lovers! The Diwali festivities are done; we are back to the grind, and it almost feels as if, for all the chilling we did during those 5-7 days, the news flow since Tuesday has made up for all of that, just to ensure that we do not get carried away with all the laziness!

For a man who did subah ka nashta in one country, jetted off to have dopehar ka khana in another, and had raat ka dinner in a third country, now finds himself out of the company he co-founded 33 years ago. From private jets, Huang will now have to spend the near future addressing congressional hearings, court subpoenas, and multiple investigations involving national security, considering one of his many (yes, it wasn't only one) affairs was with a woman whom US intelligence claims is a Chinese spy.
