Upasana Taku, MobiKwik Co-Founder: How the Woman Who Built Financial Access for 186 Million Indians Took the Company Public

In 2009, Upasana Taku and her husband Bipin Preet Singh launched a prepaid mobile wallet from their apartment in Delhi with personal savings and a small team. India's digital payments infrastructure barely existed. Cash dominated everything. Nobody knew what a mobile wallet was. Fifteen years later, MobiKwik is a listed company with 186 million users, 5 million merchants, and the full suite of fintech licences — payments aggregator, broking, and now a newly approved NBFC — that makes it a complete financial services platform.

Ultrahuman Is Taking Indian Health-Tech Global. The Body Is the New Battleground.

Mohit Kumar and Vatsal Singhal built Runnr, sold it to Zomato, and could have stopped there. Instead they started Ultrahuman in 2019 with a simple thesis: most people manage their health reactively, after symptoms appear, but the data to catch problems early already exists inside the body. A ring, a glucose monitor, a blood test, and an ambient home sensor could read that data continuously. The question was whether people would pay for it. $64 million in revenue says yes.

From Pitch to Boardroom: How Indian Cricketers Are Rewriting the Rules of Business and Marketing

Imagine this. You are the most famous athlete in the country. You are offered a ₹300 crore ($35 million) contract from one of the world's biggest sports brands. Eight years of guaranteed money. No risk. Just sign and collect the checks. And you say no. This is exactly what Virat Kohli did in 2026. He walked away from a lifetime deal with Puma, invested ₹40 crore of his own money into a homegrown sports brand called Agilitas, and moved his One8 brand into the platform. This wasn't just a endorsement swap – it was a signal that Indian cricketers are fundamentally rethinking what it means to be an athlete in the 21st century. From Kohli betting on Indian manufacturing to MS Dhoni's sprawling startup portfolio, from Rohit Sharma's evolution from brand ambassador to equity partner to a 15-year-old IPL sensation whose endorsement value doubled overnight – Indian cricketers are no longer just faces of brands. They are becoming the architects of their own business empires.

Pixxel Wants to Build a Health Check-Up for Earth. Its Satellites Are Already Doing It.

Conventional satellites see colour. Pixxel's Fireflies see chemistry. A regular satellite tells you a field is green. A Pixxel satellite tells you which parts of that field are stressed, which crops have a fungal infection, and which area is about to fail the harvest. That difference — between seeing a surface and reading what is underneath it — is what hyperspectral imaging does. And it is why Rio Tinto, the NRO, and AstraZeneca are all customers of a company founded by two undergraduates five years ago.
