## Resource

In today’s Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we look at the proposed $103,000 H-1B fee and what it could mean for global tech hiring, FirstCry’s market value falling below $1 billion, fresh funding talks in India’s semiconductor sector, the RBI’s September 15 merchant re-KYC deadline, and nearly Rs 6,000 crore worth of institutional trades in Lenskart and Eternal. We also remember Whatfix co-founder and CEO Khadim Batti, who passed away today.
