## Resource

In today’s Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we look at the proposed $103,000 H-1B fee and what it could mean for foreign tech hiring and international students. We also cover Delhivery’s higher shipping charges for D2C brands ahead of the festive season, the Centre’s public consultation on reforms to India’s examination system, and IndiGo Ventures’ investment in AI startup Sarvam as the airline explores AI across its operations.
