1. Glamour and talent are present in ample at the Cannes Film Festival but what stands out of the crowd are our Indian beauties who seemed to have hijacked the gala event. Apart from the regulars, many new faces marked their presence at the event, making a historical point for the Indian cinema.

2. Artificial Intelligence is the future. Not just global giants but Indian bodies acknowledge that too. After Microsoft launched a program to close the global AI skills gap, NITI Aayog has proposed an INR 7,500 crore investment to push for AI.

3. Our constant battle to rise over others has failed us in bringing a significant change to the world. Apple CEO Tim Cook called for the entire student community to ignore the political noise and work to do better for humanity, especially climate change.

4. And now, a 2—second silence for the Games of Throne finale episode. That's right guys, the popular drama has finally concluded but with a not so popular ending. After Dany's death, the new ruler is neither Jon Snow nor Tyrion Lannister but it is our very own Bran - The broken. What a shocker!

Here's the "news that entrepreneurs can use". Know what's trending in the Indian business world in 60 seconds.
