Taxfix ran Aampe side by side against a rule-based CRM system they had been iterating on for four years. Aampe beat it by 50 per cent, delivered a 40 per cent revenue uplift versus a global holdout, and reached breakeven in thirty days. The fully loaded cost of running Aampe against equivalent advertising spend: 120 to 150 times more efficient.
The 2025 Marketing Technology Landscape counted more than 15,000 martech products. Gartner found that 70% of CMOs do not feel ready to scale AI despite allocating 15.3% of their budgets to it. JustAI raised $17M to explain why: the problem is not that marketing teams need more tools. It is that they need one system that orchestrates strategy, creative, decisioning, and data simultaneously — and learns from every decision it makes.
No fashion week invitation. No designer pulling strings. No industry contact who could open a door. Just a girl from Bhopal, a sister who could sew, fabric that other people had thrown away, and the particular courage it takes to stand in the middle of a street you grew up on and walk it like it is the most important stage in the world. Preeti Prajapati did that. And then she did it again. And again. Until the world stopped scrolling and started watching.
The Padma Shri is among the highest civilian honours the Republic of India can bestow. On June 24, 2026, it went to R Madhavan — the actor who played Farhan in 3 Idiots, who directed Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, who won a National Film Award, who built a career across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema without ever choosing a lane and staying in it. His wife stood up when he walked to the stage.
He was seven when he launched a YouTube channel with his younger sister. By 13 he had finished the equivalent of Grade 10. By 14 he was building an AI startup with 100 businesses on the waiting list. He crossed 75,000 people reached during a 50-day motivational tour through Maharashtra. He has never taken a formal AI course. His company, 1XL Universe, is registered in Dubai.
Most perfume brands look to Paris or Dubai for inspiration. Khet looked to a street food vendor, a travelling snake charmer, a childhood candy memory, and the colonial-era waters of the Andaman Islands. Two college students. A hostel room. A question that turned into a brand. 4,000 orders. ₹61 lakh in revenue. A ₹15 crore valuation. No investors. No celebrity endorsements. Just 150 days of flea markets and the discipline to listen.
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.
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
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
