The world billioner warenbuffet donating99℅of his wealth .   Buffett, who turns 91 on Aug. 30, 2021, is a billionaire at a time when outrage over the excesses of extreme wealth is growing in tandem with billionaires' fortunes. But based on what I learned about him while becoming a scholar of finance and a portfolio manager, I see Buffett as a model for his ultrarich peers.

He has famously lamented paying a lower tax rate than his secretary. For years he advocated for the so-called "Buffett Rule," a minimum 30% tax on those making m...

Tejas Mark II is likely to be rolled out next year. This will a more powerful  version of the indigenous Tejas multi-role combat jet featuring a much powerful engine, greater load-carrying capability and next-generation electronic warfare system. Tejas Mark II is likely to be rolled out next year. This will a more potent version of the indigenous Tejas multi-role combat jet featuring a much powerful engine, greater load-carrying capability and next-generation electronic warfare system. Its first high-speed trials will start in 2023, according to Chairman and Managing Director of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd R Madhavan. The structural package and related work, which will have an array of superior avionics, was progressing well, he said. The production of the high-performance jet is likely to start around 2025. The aircraft is a potent platform for air combat and offensive air support with reconnaissance and anti-ship operations as its secondary roles. The Tejas Mk-1A will be equip...
