What stands out

The clip tells two very different stories back to back: a dramatic aviation incident where Captain Smit Machchhar allegedly opened a cockpit door and helped save 174 people after a reported attack, and a brisk run-up of India’s primary market with 34 companies raising more than ₹39,300 crore in September. The video stands out because it pairs a human-crisis moment that grabbed global headlines with a financial story showing where domestic and foreign money is flowing into India’s IPO pipeline right now.
