Why Apple Is Entering Indias Payments Market | Markets Today 186 | Upstox [W4Aq40cZvd3]
📌 In this episode of Markets Today, we break down 3 big stories impacting markets, technology, and global supply chains: 🍜 Global FMCG Giants Are Exiting Food. India Is Doing The Opposite. Unilever is spinning off its food business. Nestlé sold its water business. Kraft Heinz is offloading slow growth brands. Global packaged food returns have collapsed from 15% to just 2.9%. But in India, PE poured Rs 35,800 crore into consumer food in 2025 alone, and the market is headed to Rs 17 trillion by FY29. Two completely opposite stories playing out simultaneously. 📱 Apple Is Entering India's Digital Payments Market Apple is in discussions with HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Visa and Mastercard to launch Apple Pay in India by mid 2026. In a market dominated by Google Pay, PhonePe and Paytm, Apple's edge is hardware integration with Face ID and biometric authentication, now regulatory approved in India. Target: not mass adoption but deepening its premium ecosystem. ⚗️ Middle East War Is Now Hitting Helium And That Is A Semiconductor Problem Iranian strikes on Ras Laffan have disrupted helium supply with spot prices spiking 40% to 100% in a week. Qatar produced over one third of global helium before the conflict. Helium is critical for chip cooling and photolithography. Short term impact is limited as chipmakers are top priority customers, but a prolonged conflict could trigger a broader semiconductor supply shock. 00:00 - Coming Up 01:07 - FMCG Industry Latest News 03:29 - Apple Pay Vs.
