AI-generated video has revolutionized content creation. Marketing teams can now produce videos in weeks instead of months. Teachers can create tailored learning experiences without a huge production budget. Entertainment companies can test ideas quicker and see how they can iterate on the storytelling in ways that were previously not possible. Despite all these advances, however, there has always been a disconnect between the visuals AI could produce and the authenticity it could provide. The technology has become surprisingly capable of generating scenes, moving characters, and even complex stories. What it struggled with was something deceptively simple: making a digital character’s…
Some of my clearest memories inside a bookstore are not of books being sold. They are people pausing. A child sitting cross-legged in the children’s section, completely lost in a picture book. A mother picking up a book she loved when she was younger and telling her daughter – I read this when I was your age. A reader walking in for one title and leaving with three others because something on a shelf quietly called out to them. Or someone simply standing between aisles, phone finally in their bag, taking a moment to breathe. That, to me, has always…
New Delhi: The rise in laptop prices is really the result of multiple pressures hitting the market at the same time rather than one single issue. The ongoing geopolitical conflict has disrupted global supply chains again, especially around semiconductors, display components, batteries, and logistics networks that are tied to Asian manufacturing hubs. Even though supply chains had started stabilising after the pandemic, the current situation has pushed freight and shipping costs back up and created fresh uncertainty for manufacturers and distributors. Many brands are also becoming more cautious with inventory planning because they do not know how long the volatility will…
Bengaluru: India’s skill education gap is loudly debated in conference rooms. In two rural Telangana schools, Kidvento’s programmes are doing something rarer — actually closing it. Zilla Parishad High School and ZPHS Model High School in Gundmal, Narayanpet district, sit at the kind of remove from urban infrastructure that makes most edtech interventions turn back at the gate. PM SHRI TGWREIS High School in Marikal, Nagarkurnool district, is another such school. Limited connectivity, minimal exposure to modern tools, classrooms where a breadboard had never been used for anything practical. These are not peripheral details. They are the conditions under which…
New Delhi [India], June 19: A thought-provoking new voice in independent cinema is gaining global attention titled PARADOX, a short film by Preetham Tiwari that dares to question the very fabric of reality. Blending philosophical depth with striking visual storytelling, PARADOX invites viewers into a world where the lines between waking life and dreams dissolve into an infinite loop of perception and existence. At its core, PARADOX is more than a film—it is an immersive experience designed to provoke inquiry and contemplation. Rooted in ancient wisdom and Eastern philosophy, the narrative draws inspiration from revered texts such as the Upanishads,…
DeepTech startups received $2.3 billion of funding in India. With an increase of 37% compared to the previous year. This growth is increasing continuously with a jump of 80% in the last 6 months; there is $1.1 billions of funding secured by deeptech startups. But while this growth is undoubtedly higher, the number of deals fell from 393 in 2024 to 274 in 2025, and most of the people are ignoring it. More money, fewer startups. Bigger cheques, fewer recipients. The easy read is that investors are getting cautious. The accurate read is that they are getting smarter about where…

Enter any house in India a few months before LKG admissions and you will find alphabet charts hanging on the wall, number-writing practice papers lying on the table and parents actively questioning their children on colours, shapes and letters. This is common, because for many parents, school readiness is measured by a simple checklist: Does your child know their ABC’s? Do they count to fifty? Can they write their name? Yes, these early academic skills have their place but are only a small part of a much bigger picture. School readiness is not about what a child knows when they…
