You’ve probably seen his name on Indian tech Twitter (now X): Soham Parekh, a young engineer who called himself “everyone’s favourite founding engineer.” Cool title, right? But that’s not why people started talking about him. 140 hours a week? really? Soham claimed he was working 140 hours every week, across 3 or 4 startups at the same time. That means almost 20 hours a day, every day, no break, no weekends, just work, work, and more work. The internet went crazy.

New Delhi: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), one of India’s biggest and oldest IT companies, is getting a lot of heat from its employees. The main reason?

That’s exactly what happened with Italian luxury brand Prada, which recently found itself in a bit of hot water after revealing its Spring-Summer 2026 Men’s collection. Among the many fancy outfits and sleek accessories, one particular item stood out, a pair of leather sandals that looked way too similar to India’s beloved Kolhapuri chappals. Now here’s the twist, Prada’s official show notes just called them “leather sandals.” No mention of India. No nod to Kolhapur. No credit to the artisans. That silence? It didn’t sit well with many people. Why this hit a nerve For a lot of Indians, especially…

The Indonesian passenger airplane crashed in the sea a few minutes after takeoff, and another five months after this, an Ethiopian Airlines flight crashed as well. The same model Boeing 737 Max was involved in these crashes that killed 346 people and it was caused by flaws in the design of the plane.

New Delhi: A former Indian startup founder recently opened up on Reddit about a side of entrepreneurship we rarely hear about, what happens after the startup ends. He ran a healthy food and beverage startup with two of his friends. They built it from scratch, without any outside funding.

But as time passed, things didn’t work out the way they had hoped. Without investor money, the startup couldn’t grow.…
