One user commented, "Issse Accha Mein Vishal Mega Mart mein Internship karloon," referring to the recent meme trend. Another joked, "They are making sure it's not an unpaid one." A third said, "Good idea to check if the Intern has to pay this amount to the company."
Some are speculating that the ₹10 stipend might be a typo, suggesting the developer may have accidentally missed a 'k,' meaning it was supposed to be ₹10,000. One person remarked, 'Maybe the developer was in a rush and forgot to add the 'k'.'
Another chimed in, 'Instead of quoting such a low amount, they might as well offer it for free and pitch it as a great learning opportunity.'
Company's clarification on the internship:
A LinkedIn post on Monday evening revealed that Faclon Labs had issued a clarification, attributing the stipend confusion to an error by the job-listing site, which had altered the original amount.

RPG Group-owned tyre maker Ceat on Thursday reported a 27 per cent decline year-on-year (Y-o-Y) in its consolidated net profit for the first quarter (Q1) of 2025–26 (FY26), whereas revenue from operations rose 10.5 per cent. The decline in net profit was primarily attributed to higher marketing expenses and an increase in raw material costs. Sequentially, both net profit and revenue saw an increase of 13 per cent and 3 per cent, respectively. Arnab Banerjee, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Ceat, stated, 'Looking ahead, we are well poised to ride the premiumisation and electrification trend in the domestic market, and renew our growth in international markets with stability in the geopolitical situation.' Kumar Subbiah, Chief Financial Officer, Ceat, said, 'Q1 saw strong growth and high-capacity utilisation at all our manufacturing facilities. This growth came on the back of increase in demand from OEM and replacement segments. As Q1 is a marketing-heavy quarter with significant marketing costs associated with IPL, operational margins saw a slight dip.' The results came after market hours on Thursday.

Nuvoco Vistas Q1 profit surges to Rs 133 cr on trade, premium sales
Nirma Group-promoted cement firm Nuvoco Vistas Corp's net profit after tax (attributable to owners of the parent) for the first quarter of the financial year 2026 (Q1 FY26) grew multiple times year-on-year (YoY), even as the company's sales volume grew by 6 per cent. The profit growth was driven by higher premiumisation and trade sales, and by the low base of the year-ago quarter. The profit stood at Rs 133.16 crore, driven by a 41 per cent share of premium products in the company's trade sales. The company's consolidated sales volume for Q1 FY26 stood at 5.1 million metric tonnes (mmt). The profit in Q1 FY25 was Rs 2.84 crore, while the share of premium products was 40 per cent. Q1 FY25 was affected by the general elections. The company's revenue from operations during the quarter stood at Rs 2,872.7 crore, up 8.95 per cent YoY. Meanwhile, its total expenses grew by 1.89 per cent, to Rs 2,685.9 crore. Nuvoco's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) in Q1 FY26 grew by 53 per cent YoY, to Rs 533 crore. The Ebitda growth was led by the focus on premiumisation and trade mix, which contributed to enhanced realisations in the quarter, the company stated. In Q1 FY26, the company's trade mix stood at 76 per cent, the highest in the last 13 quarters. The trade mix stood at 73 per cent in Q1 FY25. Jayakumar Krishnaswamy, Managing Director, Nuvoco Vistas Corp, stated, 'The company witnessed healthy volume growth during the quarter. It maintained a sharp focus on premiumisation and trade mix, which contributed to enhanced realisations and led to the highest-ever first-quarter consolidated Ebitda in the company's history.' 'Looking ahead, we remain committed to drive sustained growth and expand our market presence. Following the successful acquisition of Vadraj Cement, the company is fully geared up to operationalise the plants at Kutch and Surat by Q3 FY27 and at the same time expanding its market footprint in the Western region. Alongside this, the company will continue to prioritise initiatives around premiumisation, geo-optimisation and cost efficiency to further strengthen its competitive edge,' he added. In Q1 FY26, the company's net debt on a like-to-like basis (excluding debt for acquisition of Vadraj Cement) reduced by Rs 884 crore YoY to Rs 3,474 crore. In June, the company completed the acquisition of Vadraj by paying consideration of Rs 1,800 crore. The company's cement capacity as of Q1 FY26 stood at 25 mmt per annum (mmtpa), while the clinker capacity stood at 13.5 mmtpa.
