2. Where (i.e., which firms) did the above offers come from?
At least in Sondhi’s case, he had served under a Congress government and had also given a speech opposing the CAA. But nothing in her record suggests she is woke or pro-Congress or anti-BJP. Her practice area is IP, which is as capitalist and non-woke as you can get!!

The problem with Gen Z is that you have not bothered to study the history of the nation. Please look up the history of the Shiv Sena and Bal Thackeray. Absolute criminal outfit run by goons and extortionists. Though they targeted Muslims, their original targets were anyone who did not speak Marathi, beginning with South Indians (from Udupi). In those days, South India was a poor region and people used to work as migrants in other states. Now all non-Marathi speakers in Mumbai will feel the heat again.
It's also so hypocritical of the Congress to now continue to maintain their alliance with Udhav!!

Also it would be v helpful if someone could tell which all teams of both firms are good
Amid longstanding allegations of mismanagement and corruption within India’s sports bodies, the IOC flagged concerns over governance issues in the IOA, the country’s rampant doping problem, and its underwhelming Olympic performance.
According to a report in The Indian Express, the global body told the Indian delegation in candid terms that while India could continue preparing its bid to host a future Games, it must first address the structural concerns.

1. JS builds a long position (via buying in cash/futures market). Now because JS buys so much in big size and within a matter of 20-30 minutes, this pumps up indices (banknifty/nifty).
2. While they're building their long positions, the prices of 'index options' to build a short position becomes dirt cheap since it's an options expiry day (if you don't understand what an expiry is and what options are then go read up on that first else you won't understand anything in the order). SEBI claims that while JS had a long position worth ₹X, JS also built a short position which would be worth 7X. In simple words I am placing 'one' bet that a stock would go from ₹100 to ₹101, but at the same time I am also placing 'seven' bets that it would go from ₹100 to ₹99.
3. JS buys the dirt cheap options and ends up building a short position worth 7X it's long position. Now because JS is building its short positions via options that are expiring on that day itself, the cost for building such a short position is very less compared to any non expiry day.
4. JS unwinds (i.e., dumps) its large AF long positions, again within 20-30 mins, and causes the indices to fall. This fall leads to their dirt cheap options short position becoming extremely profitable because they're 7 times as much short as they were long originally.
I think illustratively, based on what I have understood from the order, this is how the trade went down:
(I) I see on my screen that there are more than 1lac+ orders being placed / have been placed / have been executed etc within the last 20-30 mins for buying stock A. I end up concluding this buying frenzy will continue and so I also join in and end up buying stock A.
(II) On a completely different screen where not a lot of people pay attention, there suddenly are more than 7lac+ orders to sell stock A. On the other hand the original 1lac+ orders through which stock A was bought initially are now also being reversed (i.e., the original buyer is also selling exiting/selling).
(III) I see the price of stock A is now down AF compared to the price from where I entered and I (along with a lot of others) panic and rush to get out by selling it asap.
(IV) The person with 7lac+ sell orders ends up winning big in this selling frenzy.
The above was a very dumbed down explanation and you will not understand it completely unless you first understand how derivatives work in Indian markets.
Reading, internships and network building yeah i was alr planning to ace these and ill try my best to get par with the competition in these aspects.
What about moots and all tho how do i compensate that.
1. Read. Like, a lot. Read not just what your college is teaching you (which won't be a lot, frankly). Irrespective of what your peers are doing, read. Read the judgments - don't rely just on dukkis and articles. Also read books related to law. Regularly read blogs on areas of law you are interested in (for eg, for Constitutional Law, perhaps indconlawphil; for Corp, indiacorplaw) - more so after your third year or so after you're familiar with the field of law. For now, start reading up on the basics — I remember a thread posted on LI some 2 years ago about what all should a law student read. Start from there, maybe.
2. Intern like crazy. At your internships, focus on two things, over all else — learning & networking. Both of these will take you far.
3. Your network is your net worth. Build it.
Whats the reason!? A civil judge knows basic procedure thats all. Not to forget in most of judocial services the work is done in hindi.
Thank you for your advice. I will look them up and try to intern with them.
Thank you for your response. You make a very fair point. But I've already completed 6 internships under advocates, with 2 of them being with Sr. Advocates. But all of them were engaged with civil disputes only. I just wanted to have some exposure to the practice area of TMT, be it dealing with the specific regulations, rules or the applicable appellate bodies. I have applied to several law firms (not limited to TMT), but given my academic year (I'm in my second year, Bo'29), none of them have replied positively to my applications to them. And that is why I thought that perhaps working with a Sr Advocate who regularly engages in TMT matters would be a solution to this conundrum. In any case I would continue to do the best I can, and make sure my fundamentals remain strong, as you suggested.
You close a funding round for a logistics company — and suddenly it’s about “redefining the childhood dreams of our kids.”
You advise a SaaS startup — and it’s “transforming the air we breathe.”
You help someone raise money — and it’s “about building a sustainable future, one cap table at a time.”
Let’s be honest:
Not every transaction is a climate mission.
Not every equity round is a revolution.
And not every document signed is a legacy moment.
Sometimes a deal is just… a deal.
And that’s okay. We don’t need to wrap everything in emotional packaging to feel it matters.
Gosh! Let’s get back to letting our work speak for itself. without turning it into a TED talk.
You may find a better answer to your question if you elaborate on why you're asking this. Looking to join a rainmaker? But why? It's not like the raindrops will trickle down to the juniors & the interns.
