</div><br></div><div>CoinDCX Introduces Daily & Monthly SIP, Democratising Crypto Investing for Every Indian with an Entry Point of Just ₹100</div><div><br></div><div>-	Daily, weekly, or monthly, the choice now belongs entirely to the investor, built around how they already manage money, not how markets move.</div><div>-	Every SIP now comes with XIRR tracking, a standard measure of annualised returns, giving users a clear, accurate view of how their investment is actually performing over time, not just an estimate.</div><div><br></div><div>Mumbai: CoinDCX, India's leading crypto exchange, announced the introduction of Daily SIP, a new addition to its existing popular Monthly SIP experience that lets users invest in crypto every day, starting at just ₹100. The update gives investors a tighter, more consistent cadence to build long-term positions, while keeping the process simple, automated, and easy to follow.</div><div><br></div><div>CoinDCX has also introduced XIRR (Extended Internal Rate of Return) tracking, an industry-standard metric that provides users with an accurate view of the annualised returns generated through recurring investments, helping them better evaluate portfolio performance over time.</div><div><br></div><div>Commenting on the upgrade, Minal Thukral Executive VP - Growth & Crypto Business Head  CoinDCX, said, “ SIP has consistently been one of the most popular investment products on CoinDCX, and one of the most common requests we've received from our community has been the ability to invest daily and monthly. With SIP 2.0, we've built an experience around how people actually invest, not around market cycles. Whether someone prefers to invest daily, weekly, or monthly, they now have the flexibility to build a disciplined investment habit in a way that fits their financial routine.</div><div><br></div><div>Many investors want to participate in crypto for the long term but are often held back by market volatility or the pressure of finding the 'perfect' entry point. SIP 2.0 is designed to remove that friction. Along with flexible investment frequencies starting from just ₹100, we've introduced XIRR-based performance tracking, giving users a transparent view of how their recurring investments are performing over time. Our goal is to make long-term crypto investing simpler, more accessible, and rooted in consistency rather than market timing."</div><div><br></div><div>Systematic investing has become increasingly popular across asset classes as investors look to average acquisition costs over time instead of making lump-sum investments.</div>

The growth reflects sustained employer demand for entry-level talent, led by Retail, E-commerce & Technology Start-ups, and Manufacturing. These sectors together continue to anchor the country's fresher hiring momentum.</div><div><br></div><div>However, this recovery is not uniform across industries. Compared to HY1 2026, fresher hiring intent has declined in IT, and is down to 76% from 81%, while Consulting, Telecom, and Marketing & Advertising each dropped by 3 %, and Media & Entertainment and Educational Services each declined by 2%. This indicates roughly one in three industries tracked in the report scaled back on their fresher hiring plans even as the national outlook improved.</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking on the findings, <b>Shantanu Rooj, Founder & CEO, TeamLease EdTech,</b> said, "What we're seeing this second half of the year  is less about how many freshers get hired, and more about which freshers get hired. Sectors like Retail, E-commerce, and Manufacturing are scaling up because they're finding candidates who arrive with practical, job-ready skills, not just a degree. IT and Consulting, on the other hand, are being more selective precisely because the skill bar has moved: employers in these sectors now expect freshers to show AI fluency, applied problem-solving, and hands-on project experience from day one, not capabilities they'll build on the job. This shift is exactly why we believe skilling can no longer be an afterthought to education; it needs to be embedded into how freshers learn, right from the classroom, so they're equipped for the roles that are actually growing, not just the ones they hoped for."</div><div><br></div><div>Geographically, Bangalore continues to lead fresher hiring intent at 89%, followed by Mumbai (75%) and Chennai (71%), together accounting for a significant share of India's entry-level hiring activity. Among job roles, AI Application Developer, Jr. Semiconductor Design Engineer, Data Centre Operations Associate, Programmatic Advertising Associate, and Inventory & Dispatch Executive emerge as the most in-demand fresher roles in HY2.</div><div>To strengthen their employability amid this more selective hiring environment, freshers are increasingly turning to skill-first certifications. The report identifies Certification in VLSI Chip Design, AI Engineering, Cloud Security, Digital Marketing Analytics, and Good Manufacturing Practices as the top in-demand courses in the second half of the year, each aligned closely with the skill sets employers are prioritising in their hiring decisions.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Methodology:</b></div><div>TeamLease EdTech's Career Outlook Report, HY2 (July–December 2026), is based on responses from 1,097 companies collected between May and July 2026 across industries and cities in India. The study examines hiring intent among fresher candidates, in-demand job roles, required skills, and emerging hiring models, providing actionable insights for first-time jobseekers navigating the July–December 2026 employment market.</div><div><br></div><div><b>About TeamLease EdTech</b></div><div>TeamLease EdTech is India's leading Learning and Employability solutions company. It helps Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) launch, run, and manage their own Online Programs, improve the employability of their students through their apprenticeship programs, and helps employers build talent supply chains, along with improving employee productivity.

</div><br></div><div>Jio Studios and Sikhya Entertainment have unveiled the title announcement for writer-director Karthik Subbaraj's Dorothy, ahead of its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, and it is set to release in theatres across India on Sept. 25.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Mumbai:</b> Writer-director Karthik Subbaraj's landmark 10th feature, Dorothy, is set to have its world premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival in the Centrepiece section. </div><div><br></div><div>The Tamil-language feature, with an original score by legendary composer Ilaiyaraaja in his milestone 1,540th film, is backed by Jio Studios and Sikhya Entertainment and joins TIFF's acclaimed international program, formerly known as Contemporary World Cinema, which showcases celebrated filmmakers, festival favourites and highly anticipated world premieres from across the globe. </div><div><br></div><div>Ahead of its festival debut, the makers have unveiled the title announcement for Dorothy. Inspired by the vibrant yet fading tradition of Indian highway truck art, the poster reflects the spirit of the road and subtly foreshadows the journey that lies at the heart of Dorothy. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Guneet Monga Kapoor and Achin Jain in association with Dhammam Films, Dorothy stars Sananth, Rishikanth and Keerthy Suresh in pivotal roles and is slated for a theatrical release across India on Sept. 25, 2026. </b></div><div><br></div><div><b>Karthik Subbaraj, Writer-Director</b>, said, "Dorothy is a film I've carried with me for a long time. It comes from a world I know intimately, one where friendship becomes a refuge, where love survives in silence, and where tenderness exists even in the harshest of places. Through this story, I wanted to explore identity, caste, masculinity, and compassion, not through spectacle, but through deeply human characters. While it's rooted in the culture and landscape of Tamil Nadu, I believe its emotions are universal. We're proud that its journey begins on a global stage like TIFF."</div><div><br></div><div><b>Jyoti Deshpande, President – Jio Studios,</b> whose banner is behind the record-breaking global blockbuster Dhurandhar duology and whose films have collectively won the most National Awards by any Indian studio, said, "The most powerful stories are rooted in authenticity yet speak to audiences everywhere. In a world increasingly shaped by technology, it is human emotion that remains timeless. Dorothy embodies that beautifully. Karthik Subbaraj has crafted a deeply moving film, elevated by Illaiyaraaja’s extraordinary music and unforgettable performances. We’re thrilled that its journey begins at TIFF, where we hope it is celebrated for its artistry, heart and courage”.  </div><div><br></div><div><b>Guneet Monga Kapoor & Achin Jain, Producers, Sikhya Entertainment,</b> the Academy Award-winning team behind The Elephant Whisperers, said, "Dorothy reminds us that empathy is one of the most powerful forces we have. What makes Karthik Subbaraj's storytelling so distinctive is that it finds grace and humanity in places where you least expect it. That's what makes Dorothy so special. It has the depth of a festival film with the heart and accessibility of commercial cinema. We hope its world premiere at TIFF is the beginning of a journey that connects with audiences across cultures and borders."</div><div><br></div><div><b>About Karthik Subbaraj</b></div><div>Karthik Subbaraj is a critically acclaimed Indian filmmaker known for his bold, genre- bending cinema.
