Is This Popular Car Company Leaving India? Reports of Plant Shutdown Raise Concerns
This time, several Indian films have been selected to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival. After Satyajit Ray’s movie Aranyer Din Ratri, Homebound is going to premiere at Cannes.

Nissan Global Restructuring: Renowned Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Co. is reportedly undergoing a major global restructuring. According to Japanese media reports, the company is considering shutting down several manufacturing plants worldwide as part of its cost-cutting and reconstruction strategy.
One of the facilities under review is believed to be located in Oragadam, Tamil Nadu, India—home to the Renault-Nissan joint manufacturing plant.
Currently, this plant is responsible for producing Nissan’s only car on sale in India—the Magnite. If the plant is shut down, Nissan’s manufacturing presence in India would be nearly eliminated, potentially disrupting the brand’s future operations in the country.
The report has sparked concern among both industry insiders and consumers. As of now, Nissan has not issued any official statement regarding the matter.

New WhatsApp Feature May Let iPhone Users Switch Between Multiple Accounts: Details

What’s the new WhatsApp feature?
Meta-owned WhatsApp is reportedly working on a multi-account support feature for iOS devices. This feature would allow iPhone users to switch between different WhatsApp accounts on the same device, similar to how users can switch Instagram or Facebook profiles.

How will it work on iPhone?
According to leaks from WABetaInfo, the feature will likely appear in WhatsApp Settings. Users will be able to:
- Add multiple accounts under one app installation
- Switch accounts easily without logging out
- Manage notifications and chats separately for each account
Currently, iPhone users can only use one WhatsApp account per device unless they use workarounds like WhatsApp Business or dual-SIM setups.

Why is this feature important?
- Better convenience: No need to carry two phones or use third-party apps.
- Improved privacy: Separate personal and work accounts easily.
- Time-saving: Instantly switch without logging in and out repeatedly.

Expected rollout date
While there’s no official release date yet, the feature is reportedly in the beta development stage. If testing goes well, it could roll out later in 2024 or early 2025 for iOS users globally.

Amazon sets 30‑day relocation deadline for corporate staff—opt out by resigning in 60 days

Amazon has issued a firm directive to thousands of its corporate employees: relocate to one of its designated office hubs—Seattle, Arlington, or Washington D.C.—within 30 days or resign within 60, forfeiting any severance package

What’s changing—and why
- Mandatory hub model: The directive requires employees based in remote or satellite offices to move into one of the three major metropolitan areas.
- Tight timeline: Staff must decide within 30 days whether to relocate or start their resignation process within the next 60 days—with no severance safety net .
- Strategic pushback: The move supports Amazon’s new push for greater office presence and collaboration, reinforcing a broader return-to-office mandate.

In the context of layoffs and AI
- Lingering job insecurity: This relocation edict comes amid ongoing concerns about workforce reductions tied to the company’s shift toward AI-driven operations
- Internal warnings: CEO Andy Jassy has cautioned employees about potential upcoming layoffs, intensifying uncertainty and stress across the organization

Employee reactions & wider implications
Feedback on platforms like Reddit’s r/amazonemployees signals deep unease:
Amazon already doing it under the name of PIP”
“The people were notified on 3/12 that their last day ‘employed’ is 5/12. Amazon keeps them employed for the 60 days the WARN Act requires
Employees worry the policy might mask layoffs, using “performance improvement plans” (PIPs) as a pretext under the guise of relocation compliance.
