Danger ahead? Paytm boss Vijay Shekhar Sharma shares AI-powered vedic astrology warning on air travel
Amid a spate of aviation mishaps , Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma has turned to Vedic astrology—powered by AI—for insight into the risks associated with air travel. Taking to social media platform X, Sharma shared a screenshot of an astrological analysis generated by AI. According to the post, the period from now until November 2025 is marked as a "Danger Zone" due to certain planetary alignments.

'What's Happening: Rahu in Pisces, Saturn Retrograde, Mars transits Outcome: Risky,' the analysis read. Live Events — vijayshekhar (@vijayshekhar) The phase from November 2025 to March 2026 is described as a "Transition" period, during which Rahu shifts to Aquarius and Saturn goes direct—potentially bringing gradual improvement. Post March 2026, the analysis forecasts a "Safer Phase" as there are "no major malefic influences." Explaining the underlying factors, the post stated: 'Rahu in Pisces (Meena) – until Nov 2025. Why it's important: Rahu rules illusion, machinery, and technology. In Pisces—the sign of oceans, skies, and dissolution—it creates confusion in water and air travel.' The potential effects include foggy decisions, technical failures, and hidden threats such as engine issues and miscommunication. The post sparked mixed reactions online. One X user commented, 'Interesting—let's see if those astrological trends align with real-world aviation shifts.' Another sarcastically quipped, '100 out of 99 of your tweets aren't relevant to Paytm.' Ironically, Sharma's post came on the same day as a tragic crash in Bangladesh, where at least 19 people were killed after a Bangladesh Air Force training jet crashed into a school. In another devastating incident last month, 260 people died in India when an Air India aircraft crashed into a medical college hostel in Ahmedabad. A string of other engine failures and aviation-related scares in recent weeks has only deepened public anxiety around air travel—making Sharma's astrological warning all the more timely, whether you believe in the stars or not.

Nvidia CEO's China charm offensive underscores rock star status in key market
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is no stranger to Beijing, but his most recent visit, his third to China this year, cemented his rock star status in the country, where fans mingled freely with the AI titan on the streets of the capital. It was a rare sight for a chief executive of one of the world's most powerful companies to roam around Beijing, engage in wide-ranging interviews, take selfies with excited fans and even sign leather jackets - a signature clothing item of the billionaire - for his devoted followers. The tycoon at the helm of the world's most valuable company arrived in Beijing for a supply chain expo last week just days after meeting U.S. President Donald Trump and announced the AI giant would once again be able to sell its H20 chips in China following a U.S. ban in April on national security concerns. Huang's company is caught in the cross-hairs of a U.S.-China trade war that threatens to upend supply chains as both countries battle for global dominance in AI and other cutting-edge technologies, threatening Nvidia's $17 billion China business. While Huang appears to be navigating a delicate tightrope between Beijing and Washington well, the company remains subject to the ups and downs of Sino-U.S. tensions, analysts said. "Jensen Huang's visit aimed to demonstrate Nvidia's commitment to the Chinese market," said Lian Jye Su, a chief analyst at tech research firm Omdia. "However, this commitment must be balanced against potential U.S. government concerns about deepening ties with China." Huang described AI models from Chinese firms Deepseek , Alibaba and Tencent as "world class" and his official engagements included a "wonderful" meeting with Chinese trade tsar and Vice Premier He Lifeng and a face-to-face with Commerce Minister Wang Wentao. Demand for H20 chips surged in China following the launch of DeepSeek models in January. "Nvidia will still need to see the tide clearly and ride it at the right time to maximize the available benefits. But good for the company, I think it has a CEO who's very good at doing that," said Tilly Zhang, a technology analyst with Gavekal Dragonomics. Charlie Chai, an analyst with 86Research, said Nvidia's China market share was likely to slide in years to come. "The Chinese government will actively help or subsidize domestic rivals that can one day stand up to and, at least in some use cases, replace high-end Nvidia chips." Selfies and Autographs In an unusual sight for a global CEO visiting China, videos posted on social media platforms showed Huang wandering the streets of Beijing, drink in hand, signing notebooks and posing for selfies. In response to questions about how Washington would likely receive his latest visit to Beijing, the CEO said: "I told President Trump and his cabinet that I was coming to China. Told him about my trip here, and he said, 'Have a great trip'." At the opening of the China International Supply Chain Expo last Wednesday, Huang - who was born in Taiwan but moved to the U.S. at the age of nine - traded his signature leather jacket for a black, traditional Chinese-style jacket and referred to himself in a speech as "Chinese". In his Expo speech, as well as in later comments, Huang was effusive in his praise for Chinese tech giants' capabilities in bringing technology into applications, describing China's supply chain as "vast". Even arch rival Huawei Technologies, a firm that Nvidia is locked in a strategic and intensifying battle for AI chip dominance with, was lauded. "I think the fact of the matter is, anyone who discounts Huawei and anyone who discounts China's manufacturing capability is deeply naive. This is a formidable company," Huang told reporters.
