New Delhi, Jan 15 (ANI): Amazon Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jeff Bezos attended an interactive session at 'Amazon Smbhav'. Amazon chief pondered on the idea of failure and talked about the culture in Amazon. He said, "Amazon is the best place to fail and the reason is that we have a lot of practice. There are experiments where you try to figure out something new. That is high quality failure because when you are experimenting you don't know it it's going to work." He further added, "Innovation is all about maximizing the rate of experimentation. You have to have a culture that supports failure." Amazon Smbhav focuses on empowering small and medium businesses (SMBs) in India. Bezos landed in India to attend the Smbhav event and also paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.

Federal antitrust regulators had sought to block the acquisition on the grounds that it would hurt competition in the emerging virtual reality market.
But U.S. District Judge Edward Davila denied the Federal Trade Commission's request for a preliminary injunction against the deal. The judge's ruling said the agency did not provide sufficient evidence to prove its case.
Meta said it will now proceed with its acquisition of Within Unlimited.
The FTC had argued that Meta's acquisition of the small company  reminiscent of Facebook's early purchases of Instagram and WhatsApp  would hurt competition in the emerging virtual reality market.

There is a serious failure of Jharkhand in preventing the continued "environmental lawlessness", the National Green Tribunal observed while hearing petitions regarding alleged violations of environmental norms by quarrying and crushing units in the Rajmahal hills.
The green panel also directed the chief secretary to personally monitor compliance as there was "much to be desired in remedial action against gross continuing violations in spite of categorical orders".
The tribunal was hearing petitions that claimed that stone-crushing and mining companies in the Rajmahal hills of Sahebganj district were indulging in indiscriminate mining without regard for environmental norms.
