ET Now launches BNSN – The Game
MUMBAI: ET Now, the English business news channel, has launched BNSN – The Game, a stock market game.
Starting 9 May, the show will air at 11 am on weekdays. It will be anchored by Devina Menon and Avanne Dubash.
The game will show how top-notch market experts invest in markets for five days with Rs 500,000 of virtual money.
“The focus here is to give viewers an opportunity to see how the big market analysts play the markets; what is the methodology that they follow while picking the four potential stocks for the day and also understand how do they allocate money to different stocks based their methodologies,” the channel said.
The three market experts who will play during the first week of the show are Mitesh Thacker (miteshthacker.com); Rajat Bose (rajatbose.com); and Gaurang Shah (Geojit BNP Paribas Financial
Services).
Each analyst playing the game will be given an imaginary corpus of Rs 500,000 at the start of week which would be utilised to buy the four recommended stocks. Based on the real time market fluctuation every time a target or stop loss recommended by the analysts is triggered, the analysts would have to replace that stock with another one. This replacement will take place real time and would be reflected on the ticker. Also, even if none of their recommended stocks have triggered their respective target or stop loss, the analysts still have to replace two of the four recommended stocks with two new stocks at the end of each day.

Rising Bharat Summit 2026 spotlights India’s global ascent
PM Modi keynotes two-day event with ministers, diplomats and icons in New Delhi.
MUMBAI: India didn’t just host a summit, it threw a coming-out party for a nation ready to own the global stage.

Prime minister Narendra Modi set the tone with a keynote that framed India’s resurgence as a reclaiming of lost potential built over generations. “In previous industrial revolutions, India and the Global South were merely followers,” he said. “But in the era of Artificial Intelligence, India is a partner in decisions and shaping them.” He highlighted the country’s thriving AI startup ecosystem and the recent AI Impact Summit attended by over 100 nations.
Union minister Piyush Goyal (Commerce & Industry) stressed India’s readiness to scale exports and deepen manufacturing, while Ashwini Vaishnaw (Railways, I&B, Electronics & IT) positioned technology and infrastructure as twin engines of growth, especially in AI and digital trust. Jyotiraditya Scindia (Communications & North East Development) revealed India’s ambition to lead in 6G through the Bharat 6G Alliance and partnerships with over 30 countries.
Global voices added depth: former Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo called India’s development “self-sustaining” and strategically vital; ex-UK Chief of Defence Staff General Sir Nick Carter asserted India deserves a seat at the great powers’ table; and former US Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez joined ambassadors from Norway, Germany and Sweden in discussions on geopolitical realignment, sustainability and defence preparedness.
