Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 28: When you don’t have much to work with and the stakes are high, you start thinking differently. That’s basically how healthcare innovation works in India. Instead of copying expensive Western solutions, people here create original fixes—sometimes in makeshift garages, sometimes in sweaty government hospitals, sometimes inside big company labs where old rules get tossed out. Now, you’ll find these ideas in clinics from Nairobi to Jakarta. The limb that walks barefoot Everyone in India knows about the Jaipur Foot. Back in the ’70s, Dr. P.K. Sethi and sculptor Ram Chandra Sharma teamed up in Jaipur…

Anand (Gujarat) [India], July 28: Every year, NEET results bring a mix of emotions. For some students, it’s the joy of securing a dream rank. For many others, it’s disappointment and uncertainty. Missing an MBBS seat often feels like missing the opportunity to build a career in healthcare. But that perception needs to change. Healthcare today is far bigger than a single profession or degree. Modern hospitals, research centres, rehabilitation clinics and community health programmes thrive because of multidisciplinary teams where doctors work alongside nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, laboratory experts, Ayurvedic and Homoeopathic practitioners, and several allied health professionals. Together, they deliver…

New Delhi [India], July 28: Type a comparison question into ChatGPT or Google’s AI Overviews today, and you’ll often get a full answer with a brand name attached before you ever open a browser tab. For the person asking, that’s convenient. For the brand that didn’t get named, that’s a customer lost without ever knowing there was a chance to win them. This is the shift underway in B2B marketing right now. Search hasn’t gone away, but a growing share of it resolves inside an AI answer instead of a results page. Ranking first on Google means less than it…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 28: Not long ago, seeing “Made in India” on a product tag felt almost like an apology. But honestly, that’s quickly changing, mostly thanks to founders who didn’t let geography define their ambitions. Whether they’re straight out of college or knocking on sixty, these entrepreneurs didn’t wait for a ticket to Silicon Valley — they built for the world right from home. Building Global Companies Without Leaving Home Take Sridhar Vembu. Everyone else in his generation seemed to move to the US for funding and customers. Not him. He built Zoho out of a small town…

Brendon Pereira, Co-Founder, Adevo Academy New Delhi [India], July 27: There is a moment every seasoned hotelier recognises. A guest walks into a lobby, uncertain, slightly overwhelmed. Before they reach the front desk, a well-trained staff member has already made eye contact, smiled, and moved toward them. The guest doesn’t know it yet, but their experience has already been designed — not by accident, but by a system. That system has a name. We call it hospitality training. And for the past three decades, it has been considered the exclusive domain of hotels, restaurants, and resorts. That assumption is now…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 28: Picture this: a Friday night in a small Indian town, and the old single-screen theatre is…quiet. Not sold out. Just not what it used to be. Fifteen years back, the idea of empty seats for a big release would’ve sounded nuts. These days, you can stroll past those old Raj Mandir–style cinemas in Jaipur or Kanpur and find them running at only a third of their former crowd, even for films that used to guarantee a full house. It’s not that India fell out of love with movies. The relationship just…shifted. For generations, going to…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 28: When the Economic Survey hit Parliament this year, it tossed out a number that quietly put a lot of nerves at ease: 6.8 to 7.2 percent. That’s where the Finance Ministry expects India’s growth to land for FY27, which kicks off next April. Not exactly earth-shattering, but it says a lot about the country’s ambitions—India, still the world’s fastest-growing big economy, wants to stick to a steady pace, even as the global outlook gets more unpredictable by the day. Why does this number matter? Well, look at what came before it. The fiscal year that’s…
