New Delhi [India], August 7: Most people lose somewhere between 50 to 100 strands of hair every day. That’s completely normal, and most of us don’t even notice it. But at some point, the clumps in the shower drain get bigger, the part in your hair starts looking wider, or you catch your reflection and something just looks different. That’s when the question usually hits, is this just stress, or is something actually wrong? Knowing when to take hair fall seriously, and when to actually see someone about it, is something most people get wrong. Normal Shedding vs. Something Worth…

New Delhi: Since his divorce from Melinda French Gates, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has been open about beginning a new chapter in his personal life.

The relationship attracted attention because both were high-profile figures in the technology and business world. For some time, however, Gates remained relatively private about the relationship. That changed in February 2025,…

Mumbai, August 07: A treatment that was, until recently, available only through international hospitals is now being offered inside the country, and it is changing what “running out of options” means for families dealing with relapsed leukaemia. There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with searching for answers after a leukaemia diagnosis. You read everything. You ask everyone. You look up treatments that keep appearing in articles and wonder whether they are real, whether they are available, whether they are something your family could actually reach. For a long time, the honest answer for many Indian families was no.…

New Delhi: Meta is moving forward with its AI initiatives for the company, not just in what it is able to create, but also in the way its employees are organised.

Meta has launched AI efforts in 2026 in a much more vigorous and aggressive way. The company has restructured its AI-related workforce, from AI agents, AI infrastructure, to its more overarching superintelligence initiative. In May, it…

New Delhi: Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla has described India’s economic growth as one of the few stable factors in an increasingly uncertain global environment. In his latest annual reflections, Birla said the world is going through a period of major political and economic change.

Birla’s assessment comes as businesses globally face a more complicated…
