SoftBank Vision Fund Cuts Workforce as It Double-Downs on Foundational AI Bets

SoftBank’s Vision Fund is set to lay off roughly 20% of its over 300 global employees as it pivots away from broad startup investments to focus strongly on foundational AI and infrastructure.

This change marks a shift in strategy toward deeper, more capital-intensive AI projects instead of a broad portfolio spread. The move may tighten funding for smaller AI startups in niche application areas.

China Auto Industry Faces Crisis of Overcapacity as Demand Slows

China's automotive sector is in trouble as production has outpaced sales for months. Massive overcapacity, especially in EVs and lesser-known marques, has led to brand-new vehicles piling up in lots or being exported as ‘used.’ Many dealers are selling at losses just to clear inventory and meet manufacturer targets. The crisis is rooted in aggressive production subsidies, local incentives, and policy pressure. Analysts expect many smaller brands to exit or consolidate by 2030 as profitability remains elusive.

India’s Sovereign Rating Upgraded to BBB+ by Japan's R&I Agency

Japan’s Rating & Investment Information (R&I) agency has upgraded India's long-term sovereign credit rating from 'BBB' to 'BBB+' with a stable outlook. The upgrade reflects improved investor confidence in India’s macroeconomic outlook, led by strong domestic demand, disciplined fiscal governance and recent reforms. Though this won’t immediately shift markets drastically, it may reduce borrowing costs for government instruments and increase appeal among global fixed-income investors. Some analysts see this as validation of India’s current policy path, especially given external risks.

SoftBank Vision Fund Restructures Workforce, Focuses on AI Investments

SoftBank Group's Vision Fund plans to lay off nearly 20% of its over 300 global employees as it shifts away from broad startup investments in favor of bold artificial intelligence (AI) ventures led by founder Masayoshi Son.

This high-risk, capital-intensive shift signals a departure from Vision Fund's former venture capital model and aims to create a vertically integrated AI ecosystem.
