The Association of Healthcare Providers has been in the news for sending warning letters to insurers like Bajaj General Insurance, Care Health Insurance and Star Health insurance, saying that they would suspend cashless facilities. Why? Because they say that hospitals' concerns are not being addressed - this includes that the insurers were not revising tariffs despite rising healthcare costs, making what they call unjustified deductions from hospital bills, and rejecting claims despite final approvals. While there seems to have been a truce agreed at for now, Mint spoke with Dr. Girdhar J. Gyani, director general of AHPI earlier, about the strains in hospital-insurer relations and what exactly happened. Watch!#health #money #insurance

US visa | Donald Trump | Melania Trump In this podcast, we speak with Mr. Michael Wildes - he's one of America's top immigration attorneys, and also the mayor of Englewood in New Jersey. What he's also known for now, is the fact that he's Melania Trump's immigration lawyer. Wildes gets into detail about H1B procedures, why he thinks crackdown on immigrants will only hurt the U.S., and also says that this clampdown seems to be easing now. He also says one key thing - that U.S. President Donald Trump knows the value of immigrants, but it's some of his associates due to whom the rhetoric is turning against those from other countries who wish to make the U.S. their home. Wildes essentially has one message - don't give up on the U.S. Watch#immigration #america #india

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I’m Nelson John and here are today’s top stories.

Alliances Redrawn: Pakistan & Saudi’s Security Pact

Riyadh and Islamabad just inked a Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement, pledging to treat an attack on one as an attack on both. Pakistan formalizes decades of unofficial military support, gaining Saudi investment, while Saudi taps Pakistan’s nuclear and military heft. India, already deepening defense ties with Riyadh, is left rethinking strategy.

Chabahar Shock: India’s $250M Gamble at Risk

The US revoked sanctions relief on Iran’s Chabahar Port, effective Sept 29. For India, Chabahar is a crucial link to Afghanistan and Central Asia, bypassing Pakistan. Now New Delhi faces a brutal choice: risk US sanctions or abandon years of investment and regional influence.

Lavrov Fires Back: Ancient Civilizations Won’t Bow

Russia’s Sergey Lavrov mocked Washington’s tariff threats, defending India and China as “ancient civilizations” that won’t bend. With Trump slapping 50% tariffs on India for buying Russian oil, Lavrov warned America’s pressure play may be backfiring.

SEBI just gave Gautam Adani a clean slate after Hindenburg’s allegations. Turns out Adani did route funds via intermediaries, but it wasn’t illegal then. Rules only tightened in 2021. The case exposes how corporate giants exploit regulatory gaps—and why timing is everything.

Britain’s £150bn Mirage

London hailed massive US investment pledges—Microsoft (£22bn), Google (£5bn), Blackstone (£90bn). But job losses outpace promises, and giants like Merck and AstraZeneca are fleeing. Critics say the UK risks becoming a launchpad for US firms, not a growth hub itself.
