For many parents, the first signs are subtle. A child who doesn't respond when called. A toddler who speaks fewer words than expected. A student who struggles to connect with classmates or feels overwhelmed in school. At first, these concerns are often dismissed as developmental variations. But as days turn into months, uncertainty grows into anxiety.
When Baskar Subramanian and Srividhya Srinivasan launched Amagi in 2008, the global broadcasting industry was still deeply dependent on expensive hardware, satellite infrastructure, and highly centralized operations. Television networks relied on massive capital investments, physical control rooms, and rigid distribution systems that left little room for experimentation or agility.
After a turbulent year marked by declining market share, mounting losses, and increasing competition, Ola Electric has secured a significant vote of confidence from institutional investors. The Bhavish Aggarwal-led electric vehicle manufacturer has successfully raised ₹780 crore through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), substantially exceeding its original fundraising target of ₹500 crore. The issue was oversubscribed by 56%, reflecting strong interest from both domestic and global investors despite the company’s ongoing financial challenges. The fundraising round attracted a roster of prominent institutional investors, including Goldman Sachs, BNP Climate Fund, Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund, Mirae Asset Mutual Fund, Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund, and JM Financial Mutual Fund. For a company that has spent much of the last year battling operational setbacks and market-share erosion, the successful QIP marks an important milestone. It suggests that while investors remain aware of the risks, many continue to believe in Ola Electric’s long-term potential within India’s rapidly expanding electric mobility ecosystem.
In India’s rapidly evolving baby care market, parents are becoming more informed, more cautious, and significantly more demanding about the products they use on their children. Labels such as “gentle,” “natural,” and “safe” are no longer enough. Today’s parents want transparency, science-backed formulations, and ingredients that actively support their child’s development rather than simply addressing visible skin concerns.
Cloudflare has acquired VoidZero, the startup founded by JavaScript creator and open-source leader Evan You, in a move that could significantly reshape how developers build and deploy software in the age of artificial intelligence. The acquisition brings some of the most influential tools in modern web development—including Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, and Oxc—under Cloudflare’s ecosystem. More importantly, it reflects a growing industry trend: as AI dramatically accelerates software creation, the next battleground is no longer writing code—it is deploying, testing, and scaling applications faster than ever before.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25%, opting for caution amid rising inflationary pressures triggered by the ongoing Iran–US conflict and global supply chain disruptions. The decision was unanimously approved by the six-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), which met between June 3 and June 5. The central bank also retained its neutral policy stance, while leaving the Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) rate at 5.00%, and the Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) rate and Bank Rate at 5.50%.
"Don't let go of my hand, Mom." These were the words of a daughter afraid of getting lost in a huge crowd. Eventually, these words marked the instant Shivani Schulz's entire life just changed. Around 20 years ago, Shivani was a little girl navigating the chaos of a busy New Delhi railway station, clinging tightly to her mother while keeping an eye on her younger brother. Within moments, her mother vanished into the crowd and never came back. Today, the young woman is a wife and a mother whose adoption story has moved millions of people across the internet. But beneath all that is a childhood built on trauma and years spent not knowing what comes next. “I don't remember what my birth mother looks like” 6 May 2026 | 16:56 What are the three things that make you instantly happy?

Excerpt: India has set a staggering ambition: 80-100 million electric vehicles on its roads by 2030. There is just one problem — without adequate charging infrastructure, those EVs will be glorified paperweights. Enter a new wave of startups. In February 2026, EV charging platform Statiq raised $18 million to double its network. Not to be outdone, RoadGrid secured ₹12 crore in pre-Series A funding to scale charger manufacturing. With the market projected to grow from $557 million in 2025 to nearly $3.9 billion by 2033, the charging gap is rapidly becoming the charging gold rush.
