You can play a demo of the ‘Aussie Fallout’ CRPG Broken Roads on Steam-
I was a bit disappointed the sequels to Dragon Age: Origins never built on the idea of its, well, origins—playable prologues that were completely different based on whether you chose to be a City Elf, Dwarven Commoner, Mage, or whatever. That torch has been picked up by Drop Bear Bytes, the studio making Broken Roads. When it’s done, the CRPG where you play a wasteland wanderer in post-apocalyptic Australia will have multiple origins to choose from, and you can play one of them in the demo on Steam right now.
You can play the Hired Gun, a mercenary who joins a crew of scouts for an escort job taking you across a slice of Western Australia. While exploring several locations you’ll be given opportunities to get to grips with Broken Roads’ turn-based combat (including a tutorial where you shoot up mannequins who were honestly asking for it), as well as its morality system.
That morality system rates your choices based on four axes: humanist, nihilist, utilitarian, and…

Sebi’s combo offers for quick and easy fundraise
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is considering a product that combines rights issues and preferential allotments to expedite fundraising, as it believes this would cut the required time by half.
The capital market regulator’s objective is to simplify the fundraising process by eliminating the need for a merchant banker and Sebi’s approval. The regulator is also working on a model document that would help speed up approvals for initial public offerings (IPO).
Sebi chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch said on Friday that a combo product of rights issues and preferential allotments would bring out the best of both. “The entire end-to-end processing time will be cut down to half from the current 42 days,” she said.
For an already-listed company going the ‘rights’ way to preferential allotment, there is no need for Sebi to come in the way, Buch said, adding a consultat…

Why Tesla launching Cybertruck could send auto component makers like Sundram Fasteners, Suprajit Engineering, Sona BLW Precision, Varroc in top gear-
Tesla’s niche electric pickup truck has been launched globally and is expected to be available 2025 onwards. While the US and Canada command 54% share of the global pickup truck market and initial reports indicate this new offering garnering close to 7% share in the first year, how does it impact the Indian automotive market?
Well, this launch by Elon Musk-promoted company could actually prove beneficial for the Indian auto component market too. According to Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, Tesla was looking to source components worth around $1.9 billion from India. This is almost double of what Tesla sourced the previous fiscal, FY23.
