Palki Sharma Upadhyay: The Journalist Who Turned India's Story Into a Global Conversation and Is Now Building Her Own Media Empire

Doordarshan found her while she was still a college student. She started because someone asked. She stayed because the story of India, told from India's perspective, was a story the world had never properly heard. Two decades later, after CNN-IBN, WION, and Firstpost, she has stepped away from institutional journalism to build something entirely her own. India Global Review is coming.

Gaurav Gupta at Paris Fashion Week: How India's Ancient Philosophy Is Reshaping Global Haute Couture

Three consecutive Paris Haute Couture presentations. Three ancient Indian philosophies rendered in sculptural silk, 30,000 crystals, and threads engineered like nervous systems across the human body. A runway that opened with the Big Bang and closed with the cosmos. Beyoncé wearing his work. The world watching. Gaurav Gupta is not importing Indian culture to Paris

The CRED Founder Is Now Running WhatsApp. Here Is What Just Happened — and Why It Is Bigger Than You Think.

Kunal Shah launched CRED in 2018 with $1 million of personal capital and the question: why can't trust be rewarded? By 2026, CRED had 17 million members, its first profitable quarter, and a $900 million Meta investment at a $4.5 billion valuation. On June 22, 2026, Shah stepped away from CRED to run WhatsApp

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.

Qure.ai Is Helping Doctors Across the World — One Scan at a Time

There are parts of the world where there is one radiologist for every million people. A chest X-ray taken in a rural clinic might wait days for a trained specialist to read it. In those days, early TB progresses. A lung nodule that was treatable becomes inoperable. Qure.ai's AI reads that scan in under a minute — as accurately as a radiologist. It is now doing this in 105 countries. TIME called it one of the most influential companies in the world.

IdeaForge's Global Expansion: How India's Drone Leader Went From IIT Bombay Lab to Third-Ranked Dual-Use UAV Manufacturer in the World

IIT Bombay student project. A terror attack that changed the mission. Eighteen years of building in a market that barely existed. Now: third-ranked globally, 950,000+ flights, ₹137 crore Indian Army order, a $35 million US deal, and an entry into the American drone market at the exact moment the US government is systematically banning Chinese alternatives.
