Summary
Good Morning, I'm Nelson John, and on today's episode of Top of the Morning, we break down five stories shaping the business world right now. Oil is above $110 a barrel and the ripple effects are everywhere, from inflation concerns to airline ticket prices surging across India. India's consulting and IT sector is grappling with AI-driven layoffs as firms like KPMG, McKinsey, and Accenture cut thousands. The government has dropped a major overhaul of TV ratings, replacing 12-year-old rules with tighter controls, bigger sample sizes, and real penalties. And Oracle just executed what could be the largest layoff in its history, cutting up to 30,000 jobs globally, with 12,000 in India, all while posting record profits. Five stories.
