This Success Story of Oracle’s Founder Will Push You to Chase Your Dreams

This success story of Larry Ellison inspires us to dream beyond limits, embrace change, and transform challenges into triumphs.

Larry Ellison became the world's richest person in a single day. On September 10, Oracle shares surged, overtaking Tesla CEO Elon Musk to become the world's richest person. Elon Musk, who had held the top spot for about a year, was briefly displaced. With the rise in the stock market, Ellison's wealth increased by USD 101 billion. His wealth surged to USD 399 billion, a dramatic increase from USD 59 billion in 2020. But Elon Musk soon regained the top spot.

New York-born Ellison is the chairman, chief technology officer, and co-founder of software giant Oracle. However, before embarking on this path, he began his career by building databases for the CIA. He was a University of Chicago dropout. Today, his enterprise is the world’s largest in database management.

In 1977, Ellison founded Oracle and guided it as CEO for 37 years, until he stepped aside in 2014.  He then decided to step down and was appointed executive chairman and chief technology officer. He is 81 years old and controls around 40 percent of the company’s stock. From December 2018 to August 2022, he also served as a Tesla board member. Over the years, Ellison has held several important roles at the company. He was Oracle's president from 1978 to 1996. He served as chairman twice, from 1990 to 1992. He took a break after a near-death experience in a body surfing accident in 1992. He returned in 1995.

In 2012, he bought the Hawaiian island of Lanai for USD300 million, and later moved there permanently. As of 2020, Ellison's net worth was USD59 billion, a rise of more than 325 percent in just five years. His partner, 33-year-old Jolene Shue, is his fifth wife. He is the father of David Ellison, who produced films such as "The Terminator" and "Mission: Impossible". Ellison's daughter, Megan, is also a filmmaker and entrepreneur.

Larry Ellison was once skeptical of cloud computing. But it is interesting to note that he later became a billionaire as Oracle's cloud services boomed. Oracle’s cloud infrastructure has been experiencing record growth, fueled by soaring demand for artificial intelligence (AI). The company has secured major contracts with organizations like OpenAI and Elon Musk’s xAI. Analysts expect revenue growth to continue as Oracle invests heavily in expanding data center capacity to meet growing demand. Ellison once derided cloud computing as “complete nonsense.” But this once-dismissed business has transformed the company and his life.

Lost Your Job? These 7 Mutual Fund NFOs Could Be a Fresh Start

Synopsis: Seven new mutual fund offerings have just hit the market this September 2025, with entry prices as low as Rs 10 per unit. From small-cap ETFs to diversified equity and multi-asset funds, each NFO promises a different route to growth. But are these fresh launches a golden opportunity for long-term wealth creation, or just another passing wave in the market? Investors now face a significant question: which of these NFOs can truly pay off?

September Mutual Fund Buzz: Why 7 NFOs Are Grabbing Investor Attention

September NFO: As many as 7 NFOs are currently available. Unit price is just Rs. 10. Minimum investment is Rs. 100. Opportunity in mutual fund markets that withstand market volatility.

Mutual Fund Investment: Mutual funds help investors maintain a balanced portfolio even during periods of stock market volatility. The reason for this is the unique portfolio of mutual funds and good market interventions. The managers who manage mutual funds are knowledgeable in handling market fluctuations in a better way. Their strategies and long-term perspectives are completely different from those of retail investors.

If you want to invest in a good mutual fund, considering NFOs can be a great advantage. NFOs in mutual funds are like IPOs in stocks. If you are planning to invest in a new mutual fund, there are currently six new fund offerings. Let's take a look at them.

September NFOs

* Axis Nifty 500 Quality 50 Index Fund: The NFO was launched on August 21, 2025. Investors have the opportunity till tomorrow (September 4). The minimum subscription amount is Rs 100. Thereafter, you can invest in multiples of Rs 1.

* Baroda BNP Paribas Business Conglomerates Fund: Launched on September 2, 2025. It will close on September 15. The main investment will be in large companies. The unit price is Rs 10. The minimum investment is Rs 1,000. The fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth.

* SBI Dynamic Asset Allocation Active FOF: Launched on August 25, 2025. Opportunity till September 8. Minimum subscription is Rs 5,000. Unit price is Rs 10. It is a hybrid fund. Main investment is in equity and debt.

* Union Diversified Equity All Cap Active FOF: Launched on September 1, 2025. Will close on September 15. Minimum subscription amount is Rs 1,000. Unit price is Rs 10. It is a fund that comes under the other equity-oriented category. It is a good option for long-term investment goals. It invests in all categories of stocks.

* Zerodha Nifty Smallcap 100 ETF: Launched on August 25, 2025. Will close on September 5. It invests in Nifty Smallcap 100 index stocks. It is designed to track the index with minimal tracking error. Unit price is Rs 10. Minimum investment amount is Rs 1000.

* Grow Multi Asset Allocation Fund: Launched on September 10, 2025. Subscriptions can be made till September 24. Unit price is Rs 10. Minimum investment amount is Rs 500. Provides diversified investment options. Will invest in stocks with growth potential. Will also invest in debt instruments.

* Bandhan BSE India Sector Leaders Index Fund: As the name suggests, it invests in the leading stocks of the BSE market. Launched on September 3, 2025. Opportunity till September 17. This is a passive fund. Unit price is Rs 10. Minimum investment is Rs 1000.

To sum up, I see that every new fund offering comes with its own story and its own risks. For someone who has faced job loss or financial uncertainty, these NFOs may feel like a small window of hope. They won’t change life overnight, but starting with Rs 100 or Rs 1,000 is at least a step forward. The real question is not which NFO is best, but whether you are ready to think long-term and stay patient with your money.

Will 99% of Jobs Disappear by 2030? Experts Sound Alarming AI Warning

Synopsis: AI is moving faster than most people realize, and some experts believe the impact on jobs will be far greater than we expect. A great expert says that by 2030, almost every job could disappear, with AI doing the same work for just a fraction of the cost. He even points to AGI being ready by 2027, which could trigger a collapse in the job market. Others like Dario Amoudi and Mo Goudat also warn that even high-level jobs we think are safe today may not survive. The bigger worry is that governments are not preparing, even though work and income are the basis of our social system.

AI Revolution or Job Extinction? What Experts Predict for 2027–2030

Experts have warned that the spread of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the workplace will have serious consequences. Roman Yampolsky, a computer science professor and AI security expert at the University of Louisville in the US, said that AI will eliminate 99 percent of jobs by 2030. Yampolsky made the remarks while speaking on the business podcast ‘The Diary of a CEO’.

‘Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)’, which is capable of thinking and behaving like humans, will be ready by 2027. The job market will collapse within three years of the arrival of AGI. Yampolsky also says that with the creation of ‘humanoid’ robots that think and act like humans, the need for human resources in the workplace will decrease sharply.

‘We are seeing a world with unemployment on a scale never seen before. We are not talking about 10 percent unemployment today, but about 99 percent. If an employee could receive equal service from an AI model for a subscription of \$20, then the employer would adopt that approach. In the first phase, office computers will come to a situation where they will work on their own. Gradually, other jobs will also be taken over by AI,’ Yampolsky warned.

One of the foundations of the current social system is income obtained through work. He said that this will change in the new situation, and the changing concept of work may require corrections to our social system itself.

This is not the first time that an expert has warned about the impact that AI technology may have on the workplace. Earlier this year, Dario Amoudi, CEO of American artificial intelligence startup Anthropic, warned that AI could eliminate 50 percent of office jobs within five years and that governments should be prepared to deal with the impact this could have on various sectors. Similarly, Mo Goudat, who retired as Google X’s Chief Business Officer in 2018, has also cautioned that by 2027, even high-paying, important office jobs could disappear. He pointed out that roles once thought safe, such as software developers, CEOs, and even podcasters, may no longer be secure.

The growth and spread of AI technology are posing challenges to the employment sector. Governments have yet to grasp the seriousness of the issue. Amoudi also stated that serious warnings are being taken lightly.

A Day of Light and Harmony: Teachers’ Day, Eid, and Onam Together

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear! In this age of rather pronounced nationalism, one may say that all cultural and value-based things originated from India. Teachers’ Day is one such exclusive example that is solemnly observed on September 5, the day Dr. S Radhakrishnan was born. 

Yes, a teacher par excellence, Dr.Radhakrishnan was a great thinker of India and an ideal teacher.  He encouraged education in letter and spirit. The teaching profession was his primary love, and those who studied under him still remember with gratitude his great qualities as a teacher. He served in such a way that made India a most privileged nation in the world, and India honored him with the Bharat Ratna Award.

Education is the single means for development in this world of breakneck competition, where teaching is a dignified profession that supports the backbone of learning.  A teacher is an architect of a nation, or rather, civilization. A philosopher said, Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The love and reverence we provide our parents is habitual, but a teacher has to earn our love and esteem.

It is obvious, there cannot be a good teacher without a student who is desirous of learning. Conversely, no technology or modern student may dare to say that we don’t need papers and pens, as software can be used to write on. Is this technology sophisticated enough to teach children the way virtual teachers do? Each person may have different opinions. But what real fact is that the answer to the above stated disputes is a big ‘NO’. No technology can replace a teacher. Technology is just an augmentation to a teacher. It can help the process of learning, but it certainly can’t replace the role of the teacher.

According to Dr.Radhakrishnan, education should not merely give us some techniques so that we lead successful lives, but should also help us discover everlasting values. Therefore, be ready, students! Let us follow the maxim: 'When the student is ready, the teacher will appear’, implying that when a student acknowledges that he is in want of knowledge and desires to acquire it, he will open his mind to his teacher, who is willing to give it.  On this Teacher’s Day, let us acknowledge, if knowledge is the LIGHT, then teachers are the Guiding Stars that give us light. Happy Teacher’s Day! On this day (September 5, 2025) other special festivals

Unity in Diversity: Teachers’ Day, Eid, and Onam Shine on One Day

Happy Eid Mubarak

I think of Eid as a day that brings the neighborhood closer. The morning starts quietly with prayer, then doors open and plates are shared. You greet friends, and also the family next door, even if you pray in different places. That is the part that matters to me. Kindness, a small visit, a phone call, a little forgiveness. May this Eid bring peace to every home and keep our interfaith bonds steady and warm. Eid Mubarak to all.

Onam Kerala (Thiruvonam)

When Onam arrives, Kerala feels like it is breathing in rhythm again. Flower carpets on the floor, a happy rush in the kitchen for the sadya, children running about, elders telling the story of Mahabali and a just rule. It is a festival of homecoming and goodwill. To Malayalis in Kerala and to those living far away, I wish you a gentle, prosperous Thiruvonam. May your table be full and your hearts light. Happy Onam.

On this day (Sept 5, 2025), we find ourselves blessed with different reasons to celebrate. Teachers’ Day reminds us of the guiding stars who shape our lives. Onam brings the spirit of homecoming and unity from Kerala.  Eid carries the message of peace and compassion across communities. Each in its own way speaks of learning, harmony, and togetherness. May these occasions inspire us to respect knowledge, cherish traditions, and live with kindness toward one another.
