India is one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world: a country of young, ambitious people with a high literacy rate and a per capita income that makes it one of the world’s largest consumers. Its rocket science, technology acumen, and infrastructure-building ability are second to none.

Bangalore Watch Company – Forty Seven

This all began with a literacy rate of just 12 percent, a per capita income of a mere USD 50, and a country in debt. In the mid-twentieth century, India chose a future-facing vision—building a nation where girls could fly fighter jets, scientists could send rockets to space, entrepreneurs could build companies for the world, and every generation could dream a little bigger than the one before.

Since 2018, the brand has built watches inspired by aviation, cricket, space exploration and the outdoors. Each collection has explored a different chapter of modern India. With Forty-Seven, the brand goes back to the beginning of that era, to the mid 20th century, when a young nation chose to spend its time building the future.

“Forty-Seven is a tribute to the years that shaped modern India. A pocket watch was the natural choice, because it belonged to that time. Bangalore Watch Company™ has always told stories of the India of today. With this watch, the brand goes back to where those stories first began,” says Nirupesh Joshi, Co-Founder of Bangalore Watch Company™.

Forty-Seven follows the design principles of traditional pocket watches from the early 20th century. Built with a surgical grade steel in a vintage gold finish, an off-white linen pattern reminiscent of the self-reliance movement of the time, and powered by a Swiss quartz movement, the watch makes for a fashionable carry accessory. Paired with a vintage leather lanyard, the watch can be worn around your neck, on your waist, or even as a bag charm.

“We’ve demonstrated our capability as a watchmaker with several firsts – meteorites, aircraft carrier materials, and even captured carbon. The pocket watch is our attempt to broaden our capability as a watchmaker, and to give our customers a new format to enjoy high-quality time-telling devices with a strong backstory,” added Mercy Amalraj, Co-Founder of the brand.

Forty-Seven can be personalized with a custom caseback engraving, making every watch unique. The watch will be priced at USD 1250 (approximately INR 120,000) and will be available for pre-order on the brand’s website starting on 11th August 2026.

About Bangalore Watch Company™
Founded in 2018, Bangalore Watch Company™ creates high-quality mechanical watches that tell stories of a 21st-century India. Drawing inspiration from Aviation, Cricket, Space, and the Great Outdoors, each collection captures modern Indian narratives that go far beyond stereotypes.

With several firsts to its name including watches made from recovered fighter planes and aircraft carrier materials, India’s first watch qualified for Spaceflight, and a proprietary Cerasteel™ material that is a fusion of Steel and Ceramic, the brand blends storytelling with technical innovation and contemporary design. Recognised by leading global publications such as The New York Times, Forbes, and Hodinkee for its originality and craftsmanship, Bangalore Watch Company™ stands at the forefront of modern Indian watchmaking.

Founded by husband-and-wife team Nirupesh Joshi and Mercy Amalraj who left their tech careers overseas to pursue a passion for modern Indian storytelling, the brand has built a quiet but enthusiastic following with customers in over 30 countries.

REVA University, a pioneer in higher education, proudly welcomed the new batch of Engineering, Architecture and Law programmes 2026-27 today. The event ‘REVA University UPLINK’ held at the campus marked the beginning of a new chapter for thousands of students in these streams and set the tone for an enriching university experience rooted in learning, innovation, leadership and enterprise. It also reflected the University’s commitment to nurturing future-ready professionals through its Educate to Enterprise philosophy.

From L-R: Dr. Beena G.; Dr. K.S. Narayanaswamy; Dr. Adishesha C.S.; Dr. P. Shyama Raju, Chancellor; Dr. M. Dhanamjaya; Dr. R.C. Biradar; Dr. Pramod Kulkarni at UPLINK 2026-27

Dr. P. Shyama Raju, Chancellor, REVA University, presided over the function, emphasising the University’s commitment to building a holistic educational environment that empowers students to dream big while ensuring a safe and nurturing space for their growth. The ceremony was graced by Dr. Adishesha C. S, Director – Technology & Innovation, Collins Aerospace, as the Guest of Honour.

Addressing the gathering, Dr P. Shyama Raju emphasised that educators and professionals have a responsibility to become role models for the next generation. Highlighting the importance of ownership, commitment and ethics, he said, “My role is to be a facilitator. Apart from what we teach at the University, we need to teach beyond that. We need to teach discipline, human values, respect for the nation and concern for elders.” Speaking about REVA University’s Educate to Enterprise philosophy, he said, “Through our Educate to Enterprise philosophy, we strive to nurture job creators rather than job seekers; leaders who inspire, innovate and contribute meaningfully to society.”

In his inaugural address, Dr. Adishesha appreciated REVA University’s efforts to create an environment that encourages students to push boundaries and develop their talent. “REVA University’s philosophy of giving back to society is truly inspiring. To facilitate this, they have incorporated a strong industry-academia connect,” he said.

Emphasising the growing importance of interdisciplinary learning, Dr. Adishesha observed that the boundaries between technologies, professions and academic disciplines are increasingly becoming fluid. “Interdisciplinary learning has become the norm of the hour. All professions and streams should come together, with a meaningful exchange of knowledge and ideas between them,” he added.

As part of the inauguration, every new student received a sapling, symbolising the beginning of their academic journey and their responsibility towards the environment. The initiative is part of REVA Vanamahotsava, the University’s flagship green movement based on the principle of ‘One Student, One Tree’, encouraging students to plant and nurture a tree during their time at REVA.

Dr. M. Dhanamjaya welcomed the gathering and introduced students to the diverse REVA ecosystem, highlighting how the University’s Educate to Enterprise philosophy goes beyond academics to build holistic development, innovation, leadership and entrepreneurship. He said, “At REVA, education is not limited to the classroom. We want every student to discover their potential, develop the confidence to take ownership, and graduate with the knowledge and mindset to create an impact.”

Delivering the vote of thanks, Dr. K. S. Narayanaswamy, Pro Vice Chancellor, REVA University, expressed his gratitude to the Guest of Honour, university leadership, faculty, students and parents for their presence at REVA UPLINK.

The programme was also attended by Dr. Beena G., Registrar (Evaluation); Dr. R. C. Biradar, Pro Vice Chancellor; and Dr. Pramod Kulkarni, Pro Vice Chancellor, along with deans, directors, faculty members, students and parents.

The inauguration also marked the commencement of a comprehensive student induction programme designed to help freshers transition smoothly into university life. Through interactive sessions, students will gain insights into their academic programmes, campus resources, industry exposure, student clubs, research opportunities, entrepreneurship initiatives, and the University’s vibrant learning ecosystem.

Guided by its Educate to Enterprise philosophy, REVA University continues to build an academic ecosystem where students are encouraged not only to learn and excel, but also to create, lead and contribute meaningfully to society. The philosophy goes beyond creating entrepreneurs; it seeks to develop an enterprising mindset in every student, empowering them to identify opportunities, embrace challenges, take initiative and create value, irrespective of their chosen discipline. The new academic batch now embarks on a transformative journey of learning, discovery, innovation and enterprise.

The winners of the nationwide competition will be announced on 12th September 2026.

Millennium Group of Schools – AI Championship 2026

With Times Now, the leading English news channel from The Times Network as the Official Broadcast Partner, the championship will bring together students from schools across India to explore the creative possibilities of AI through storytelling, music, and filmmaking. Built around the theme ‘Sustainable Cities. Intelligent Futures.’, the initiative encourages students to imagine how technology and human creativity can come together to build cleaner, greener, kinder and more inclusive cities.

The championship has been designed across three age-specific categories:

• Grades 5–7: Storytelling Challenge

• Grades 8–9: Song Creation Challenge

• Grades 10–12: Short Film Challenge

With nationwide outreach, the championship aims to engage over 25,000 students, 50,000 parents and 2,000 educators, while generating more than one million digital impressions. At this scale, the initiative is designed to create a powerful school-led platform for advancing responsible AI, creativity and future-ready learning across India. Registered participants will also receive complimentary access to expert-led sessions on prompt engineering, AI ethics and digital citizenship, equipping them with the knowledge and mindset to use AI responsibly while strengthening critical thinking, creativity and innovation.

Sharing her thoughts on the launch, Neha Vaz, Head of Events & Strategic Alliances, The Millennium Group of Schools, said, “Artificial Intelligence is redefining the way the next generation will learn, create and solve problems. At The Millennium Group of Schools, we believe children should not just learn about AI, but learn to use it responsibly, creatively and with confidence. The Millennium AI Creators Championship is our effort to provide young minds with a national platform where human imagination meets technology. Guided by the philosophy, ‘Human Imagination Leads. AI Assists.’, the championship encourages students to use AI as a creative partner while ensuring original thinking remains at the heart of every idea.” 

The championship will be evaluated by an esteemed National Jury comprising renowned leaders from the fields of artificial intelligence, education, technology, design, media, innovation and the creative industries. Confirmed jury members include Mr. Vikas Kanungo, Dr. Sujitha Kurup, Dr. Amita Kapoor along with other distinguished experts, who will assess entries based on originality, creativity, storytelling, relevance to the championship theme, responsible use of AI and overall impact. The Top 15 National Winners will be awarded an exclusive, fully sponsored AI Fellowship powered by TechnoKids in association with Knowledge Hub,

providing advanced AI learning and coding opportunities to further strengthen their AI capabilities and future-ready skills. Winners will also be awarded with robotics kits by E-BOT Plus, a uniquely designed solution for Computer Science, Coding, AI, and Robotics, built around the core principles of simplicity, intuition, and practical approach.

Sharing her views on the educational significance of the initiative, Dr. Priyanka Jain, Head of Academics, The Millennium Group of Schools, said, “The Millennium AI Creators Championship reflects our belief that education must evolve alongside technology while keeping human imagination at its core. Rather than asking students to avoid AI, we want them to learn how to use it thoughtfully, ethically and creatively. Through this initiative, students will explore real-world challenges around sustainable cities while developing critical thinking, problem-solving and creative confidence. Our goal is to nurture young learners who see AI not as a shortcut, but as a tool to amplify their ideas and contribute meaningfully to society.“

Beyond being a competition, the Millennium AI Creators Championship is part of a broader national AI literacy movement that encourages students to build with AI instead of depending on it.

Parimatch Sports, a premium sportswear brand inspired by the world’s top athletes, continues its Inside the Game YouTube series with a third episode featuring Ritu Phogat. The Indian MMA fighter and wrestling champion, also known as the “Indian Tigress,” takes on a new set of questions and unusual situations that show new sides of the champion beyond her career in combat sports.

Ritu Phogat Faces New Challenges in Parimatch Sports’ Inside the Game Episode 3

With millions of followers and a career that keeps her in the public eye, Ritu is no stranger to other people’s expectations. But how much of that attention actually matters? During the conversation, she opens up about dealing with opinions on the internet and staying focused on her own path rather than trying to satisfy everyone watching from the outside. “It’s absolutely easy because I don’t overthink those things and take them as motivation. It’s okay — I’ll show them, no problem,” Ritu said.

The episode also touches on life outside the arena. Ritu talks about managing demanding training and competition alongside family life, and why pursuing her goals does not mean putting everything else on hold. “It’s really hard balancing everything. Motherhood requires a lot of discipline, training requires a lot of discipline, and then there’s managing the house and everything else. Discipline and balance are absolutely necessary,” she added. She also addresses the pressure on women to get everything right, sharing her view on finding a way that works for her rather than trying to please everyone.

The conversation is accompanied by a series of interactive activities that put Ritu in situations far removed from the MMA arena. Through playful tasks, she shows her competitive side in a completely different setting. One of them, however, leaves viewers with a particularly difficult choice: would Ritu give up training for a million dollars?

The answer might surprise you.

Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi (a part of the IHH Healthcare multinational network), marked India’s 80th Independence Day with ‘The Freedom Walk 2026,’ a community wellness initiative aimed at encouraging senior citizens to stay active, independent and engaged with their health. The initiative saw participation from senior citizens aged 60–90, with close to 700 registrations reflecting strong interest from the community across Navi Mumbai.
 

Participants gather as Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi’s medical & administrative teams kick-off The Freedom Walkathon 2026, promoting Senior Wellness and Active Ageing

The event was graced by Shri Kamlesh Kumar Gupta (IRS), Commissioner, CGST Audit, Navi Mumbai & Raigad, who has over three decades of experience in public service and administration. Beyond his professional contributions, his journey reflects the values of discipline, commitment and lifelong learning, making his presence at The Freedom Walk a meaningful inspiration for senior citizens embracing an active and healthy lifestyle. The inauguration also witnessed support from Dr Ashutosh Pandey, Facility Director, clinicians, administrators and support staff.
 

Speaking on the occasion, chief guest Shri Kamlesh Kumar Gupta, (IRS), Commissioner, CGST Audit, Navi Mumbai & Raigad, said, “Fitness and discipline are values that stay with us throughout life. My years in public service have reinforced the importance of consistency, resilience and taking responsibility for one’s well-being. Initiatives like The Freedom Walk are a wonderful reminder that staying active and healthy enables senior citizens to continue contributing meaningfully to society.”
 

Designed around the idea that mobility is an important form of independence, the walkathon encouraged older adults to embrace regular physical activity at a pace suited to their comfort. Participants could choose between 3km and 5km routes, both beginning and concluding at Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi. The event also saw community participation from the Rotary Club of Navi Mumbai and Adhata Trust. The event also featured Zumba and guided warm-up and warm-down sessions to help participants prepare for and recover safely from the walk. Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi deployed a 65-member medical team, comprising 30 doctors, paramedics, and physiotherapists, along with 35 nurses. Safety measures included physiotherapy stations, mobile medical teams, and pre- and post-event health checks for participants.
 

Going beyond physical activity, the walkathon was designed as a preventive health touchpoint, offering participants access to health screenings and consultations from experts including Dr. Sourabh Kulkarni, Director & HOD-Orthopedics & Joint Replacement, Dr. Soumyan Dey, Director-Urology & Uro-Oncology and Dr. Prashant Bhamare, Director-Obstetrics & Gynecology. The consultations covered important aspects of senior health, including bone and joint care, urology, women’s health and other age-related concerns. Through this initiative, the doctors aimed to encourage early identification of potential health risks, provide timely guidance and empower seniors to stay active, healthy and independent.
 

At the initiative, Dr. Sourabh Kulkarni, Director & HOD – Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement, Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi, Navi Mumbai, said, “Maintaining mobility is one of the most important aspects of healthy ageing. Staying active within one’s comfort level and seeking timely medical advice can help seniors preserve movement, balance and confidence, allowing them to continue their daily activities independently.”  
 

Highlighting the importance of preventive care for age-related health concerns, Dr. Soumyan Dey, Director – Urology & Uro-Oncology, Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Navi Mumbai, said, “Many urinary health concerns among older adults tend to be ignored or discussed only when symptoms become severe. Creating an accessible platform where seniors can interact with specialists encourages early diagnosis and timely care, which can significantly improve comfort and overall well-being.”
 

Further emphasising the need for proactive healthcare among senior women, Dr. Prashant Bhamare, Director – Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi, Navi Mumbai, added, “Preventive consultations provide an opportunity to identify age-related health concerns early and enable seniors to continue leading active, healthy and independent lives. Encouraging open conversations around health is an important step towards improving overall well-being among older adults.”
 

Reflecting on the hospital’s role in driving such community health efforts, Dr. Ashutosh Pandey, Facility Director, Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi, Navi Mumbai, said, “For close to two decades, Fortis Hiranandani Hospital has been a part of this community, and the patients we’ve served over the years have shaped how we think about their evolving healthcare needs. Healthy ageing is not only about managing illness; it is equally about preserving mobility, confidence and independence for as long as possible. It is this understanding of our senior patients that prompted The Freedom Walk, an opportunity to encourage them to make movement a regular part of their lives while also connecting with specialists in an accessible and comfortable setting. The response to the initiative has been encouraging and reinforces the need for more community-led preventive health programmes for our seniors.”
 

By bringing together fitness, preventive healthcare channels and community engagement outside the conventional hospital setting, Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi, reinforced its commitment towards promoting healthy ageing and empowering senior citizens to take charge of their well-being.

At Galgotias University‘s iOS Student Developer Program, students are turning their own ideas into apps that solve problems they have seen firsthand, from women’s health tracking to early autism screening to interview preparation. Each began as a passion project, not an assignment. That body of work has been recognised by Apple, featured as part of a story and video on apple.com.

Sakhi, built by students Karan Kumar and Arpita Gupta, is a menstrual health companion that combines cycle tracking with emergency assistance for women. AutiCare, built by Sudhanshu Kumar and Sourabh Singh, supports early autism screening for parents and caregivers. ToyVista, built by Madhav Sharma and Ansh Kalra, uses augmented reality to let shoppers visualise toys before buying. PrepLoop, built by a team led by Shams Tabrej Alam, simulates real interview environments with AI feedback to help students prepare for job interviews. Each began as a problem a student wanted to solve, not an assignment.

Galgotias University students build apps tackling societal challenges in women’s health, autism screening, retail and interview preparation, earning recognition by Apple

A few students in the programme are first-generation college goers, some the children of farmers, others from small towns where writing a line of code was unfamiliar territory before their first year at the university. With access to the right tools, training, and mentorship, they are among the students turning that opportunity into working software.

The programme has changed how these students learn. Swift and Xcode are built directly into coursework rather than taught as theory, and students move from writing code to shipping a working app, often the first time an idea of theirs has reached real users. That hands-on approach is reflected in the numbers, with Apple Swift Student Challenge wins from the programme grown from 10 in 2025 to 18 in 2026.

“This recognition belongs to our students. What they have built, and the effort behind it, underscores their innovation and determination to use technology for building socially relevant apps that solve real world problems, and it is a proud moment to see that hard work recognised on a global platform,” said Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO, Galgotias University.

The work also feeds directly into career readiness. Students graduate with a portfolio of original, working software alongside their transcript, and the programme’s links to industry partners including Infosys give some students early exposure to how their work applies commercially.

Sometimes the biggest brand stories begin with fans. Earlier this year, eagle-eyed fans spotted Rocking Star Yash using a Philips trimmer in a behind-the-scenes glimpse, sparking viral conversations across social media and entertainment platforms. Turning that fan discovery into an iconic collaboration, Philips India today announced Rocking Star Yash as the Brand Ambassador for its Men’s Grooming portfolio, unveiling its new ‘Trimmers Ka Baap’ campaign starring the actor, while also announcing its partnership with ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups’ as its Official Grooming Partner ahead of the film’s worldwide release on 26 August 2026.

Philips India onboards Rocking Star Yash as the Brand Ambassador for its Men’s Grooming portfolio, as he fronts the new ‘Trimmers Ka Baap’ campaign

The collaboration marks a natural coming together of one of India’s most celebrated style icons and the country’s leading men’s grooming brand. Known for setting trends both on and off screen, Rocking Star Yash brings his signature confidence, individuality and larger-than-life presence to a campaign that celebrates effortless grooming and self-expression.

The ‘Trimmers Ka Baap’ campaign featuring Rocking Star Yash in a high-energy avatar, reinstates Philips’ superiority over ordinary trimmers. The campaign film reinforces one singular message- for grooming his iconic beard, Rocking Star Yash trusts only Philips trimmers. At the heart of the campaign is the Philips All-in-One Trimmer with BeardSense Technology, which scans beard density 125 times every second and intelligently adjusts its power as it moves effortlessly across both dense and fine hair areas, consistently delivering an even trim & sharp finish. Designed to achieve professional-grade grooming results at home, the innovation reflects Philips’ continued focus on technology-led performance and superior grooming experiences.

Speaking about the association, Rocking Star Yash said, “I’ve trusted Philips with my grooming for years, long before this partnership was even a conversation. So, this felt like the next step with a brand I already believe in. Grooming is part of everyday life and having products that deliver consistency and performance- matters to me, and that’s what I value about Philips.”

Commenting on the collaboration, Smit Shukla, Zone Business Leader- Personal Health, Philips Indian Subcontinent, said, “The best partnerships are often the most authentic ones. When fans organically discovered Yash using a Philips trimmer, it reinforced the trust consumers have placed in Philips over the years. As one of India’s most loved style icons, Yash perfectly embodies confidence, individuality and excellence in grooming. Through our ‘Trimmers Ka Baap’ campaign and our partnership with Toxic, we’re excited to showcase how Philips’ innovation, led by our BeardSense Technology, helps consumers achieve professional-grade grooming at home.”
