Reading the book in Geneva (CERN trip!) - extra points for it matching with my fit?!  Anyways..... In July, I was given the excellent opportunity to take part in an Oxford-partnered Varchasva leadership programme, a national course run over a year to develop leadership skills. Here, I was presented the opportunity to learn more about developing myself with respect to values and the teachings of Hinduism.  One of the guest speakers was Nitesh Gaur, the Founder/CEO of Avanti schools rrust, and has a background in investment banking before turning his focus full-time to education and spiritual insight in leadership.  One of the standout moments for me was the chance to speak directly with Nitesh Gaur about his experiences of carrying Hindu values into the world of investment banking, and how those shaped his journey into education and leadership. At the end of our conversation, he handed me a copy of Dharma in Capitalism which has since challenged and deepened the ...

Imagine this: you’ve spent years and years and YEARS growing your company from a small start-up in Bromley into a GLOBAL contender. You're BIG now, and need capital (money capital not capital capital) to grow further so that you can invest. What is your next step? To go private to public and list on the stock market to raise capital and expand further. But instead of turning to London and our beloved LSEG (london stock exchange), more and more firms are heading abroad, most often to New York. So....Why is that happening? There are three main reasons. 1. Valuation differences As simply put as I can, companies tend to get higher valuations in the US. A fintech or tech start-up listing on Nasdaq can be worth 20–30% more than if it listed in London. In 2021, UK tech IPOs raised around £6.6bn , while US tech IPOs raised about US $69.3bn ( which is around £47bn). Higher valuations mean more money raised and more attractive shares for investors and this critical for high-growth compa...

my notes: dominant themes of 2025 tariffs- impact boom in AI   central banks cutting rates. A lot last year   policy uncertainty- weaker dollar. Loosing if fiscal policy loosening movements in government bonds   rearmants gold prices are up   chinese equities are up, china economy less effected by US tariffs.

Tariffs raised extra 2 trillion from tariffs, about 70% of costs of measures from trumps BBB.   global economy gained by 2.3 percent unemployment rates have been drifting higher.   Capital spending in US green...

With such a significant rise in far-right extremism in the UK from groups such as the EDL (english defence league) resurfacing and gaining a huge amount of rhetoric, divisive attention, there have been greater calls for "kicking out immigrants", marganilsing against black and brown communities. To raise awareness against such rash views, I shall look beyond the obvious social and moral consequences, rather to the overlooked reality: the economic cost of exclusion. So, lets get started. Kick us out. Go for it. This took me way too long to write, Ive done alot of research and estimations and calculations and data crunching, so please do have a read! Our departure. We start at night. Flights, buses, trains are packed as we all head back. On paper, about 18% of the Uk workforce (ONS) gone. Vanished just like that. The sectors most affected: health, hospitality, transport and agriculture. The cracks show immediately, with one in four doctors and nurses in the NHS being born not in...

mr richards should be here^ Nash, Von Neuman...icl thats the only people I recognise.... I hope no famous dude is in here and Ive forgotten what they look like. First week back, and already a nice abundent supply of application points. I've added a couple of extra details that may also be good figures/explanations to use in exams  Productivity in the UK is terrible, but especially in the public sector.  public sector productivity has dropped by around 8.3% between Q1 2019 and Q4 2024, the private sector grew by about 4.7% over the same period.  This gap is costs the UK economy roughly £80bn per year in lost output. This is about 3% of GDP. and If current trends continue unchecked, losses could rise to 5% of GDP which is about around £170 billion annually, by 2030. Recent US and UK trade deal. Breech of world trade by only keeping the deals between them two and not offering them to others. Reminder about what happened in the deal: Zero tariffs on UK steel and aluminium ex...

Advice from a very cool Cambridge student: Make sure that you are really well-rounded when you answer the questions; tell them how you've read about this and that's where you come up with this theory. Interviewers like to ask about game theory. By researching a few Ted talks you would place yourself in a good position and it would be quite useful.  You want to be good with problem solving skills; they tend to ask questions that consist of mathematical ability but also more about how you can think rather than how good you are at maths. Make sure your TMUA score was good. Treat the interview as the lesson, trying to learn from it rather than just seeing it as a test. Please LMK if you prefer these shorter style blogs. With attention spans for reading being less than 8 seconds, I think blog posts need to become shorter to compete with TT and IG....
