Political Earthquake in Nepal: PM Oli Resigns After 19 Killed in Protests

Nepal is reeling from political and social unrest after Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli announced his resignation following weeks of escalating protests led largely by the country’s Gen Z population. What began as demonstrations against a controversial social media ban quickly spiraled into a nationwide movement, fueled by anger over corruption, unemployment, and rising living costs.

The protests turned deadly over the weekend, leaving at least 19 people dead and hundreds injured as security forces clashed with demonstrators in Kathmandu and other cities. Protesters even stormed the Prime Minister’s office, forcing Oli’s hand and exposing deep fractures in Nepal’s governance.

In a dramatic reversal, the government has since lifted the social media ban, but the damage is done. Reports suggest that Oli may even be preparing to flee the country, underscoring the scale of instability.

Infosys Eyes Share Buyback as IT Stocks Surge

Infosys, one of India’s largest IT giants, has set the stage for a major market move by announcing that its board will meet on September 11 to consider a share buyback proposal. This marks a strong signal of confidence from the company, suggesting that Infosys believes its stock is undervalued and ripe for rewarding investors.

The announcement has already sent ripples through the market. Infosys shares jumped more than 4%, sparking a broader rally across the IT sector. With global cues pointing to potential U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts and domestic relief through recent GST reforms, the timing of this buyback could not be more strategic.

For shareholders, a buyback often means enhanced value as the company reduces outstanding shares, boosting earnings per share. For the Indian markets, it reflects renewed optimism in the IT sector at a time when investor sentiment had been wavering.

😊 5 Affordable “Happiness Investments” Every Investor Should Make

We often chase funding rounds, growth metrics, or revenue milestones, but psychology reminds us: happiness compounds better than capital.

For professionals alike, here are 5 affordable buys that actually boost joy - without breaking the bank:

1️⃣ Experiences over gadgets: A weekend trek, a local concert, or even a cooking class brings lasting joy compared to the dopamine rush of a new phone. In startups, it’s the same: invest in team experiences, not just tools.

2️⃣ Gifting others: Buying small, thoughtful gifts sparks connection and meaning. Founders who surprise their teams or early customers with personal tokens build emotional loyalty.

3️⃣ Time-savers: From meal kits to laundry services, outsourcing chores frees mental space for deep work. Happiness often hides in fewer distractions.

4️⃣ Comfort upgrades: An ergonomic chair, a better mattress, or noise-cancelling headphones. Tiny upgrades in comfort can massively improve focus and mood.

5️⃣ Learning materials: Books, online courses, or workshops don’t just expand knowledge, they expand confidence - priceless for founders navigating chaos.

Happiness isn’t expensive. It’s intentional. By choosing where to spend small, you create space to think bigger.
