Grateful to the Ministry of Culture, Govt of India for hosting the 2nd BRICS Culture Working Group meeting in Varanasi under India’s chairship. Two rich days across creative economy, AI & copyright, heritage protection, joint nominations and culture for sustainable development!

[Satish Shekar @SatishShekar]

I will be presenting the opening theme at the 2nd BRICS Culture Working Group in Varanasi on 04 June.

Try this: search for the best weaver in a town you have never visited. You will find hotels, resorts, a cafe with 4.5 stars. You will not find her. She has no listing because the orange economy was never built to hold her.

That gap is my presentation. The closing of it, I suspect, is sitting in the other delegations’ notes, and I intend to take some home.

Google Quantum AI research reveals quantum computers could crack current crypto signatures in under 12 minutes.

The structural logic of digital ownership is at risk. We must move from static security to crypto-agility.

We all have a story about the city we call home. Usually, it is a story of a long commute, a favorite neighborhood, or a sense of belonging. But what happens when we look at the collective story of all our cities through the lens of data?

The WeAreCity 2026 report by UnboxingBLR does exactly that. It takes the "social media wars" between cities and grounds them in reality. It is heartening to see Bengaluru and Hyderabad emerging as such powerful partners in India's growth, leading in everything from tech patents to new jobs.

I often think that to love a city is to understand it deeply. This report helps us do just that, celebrating our progress while being honest about our challenges in liveability and inclusion.

Big congratulations to the team for giving us this holistic view. It is a beautiful reminder that our cities are not just dots on a map, but the beating heart of our future. @GoyalMalini

The structural logic is cost containment. By automating the first touch platforms reduce ticket costs but increase user friction.

When automation ignores the chaos of last mile logistics the system fails.

India is now the 3rd most competitive AI nation globally.

58% of Indian enterprises prioritize AI as a key investment area, outperforming the 37% global average.

93% of Indian firms are integrating AI agents into workflows.

Scale meets sovereignty.

Decoding the shift from chemical to quantum energy.

The demonstration of battery that charges faster as it grows larger. This is the logic of superabsorption.

By trapping light in a microcavity, we can bypass the limits of ion movement.

The gap was intentional.
The return is structural.

Are we just selling, or are we truly innovating?
That was the burning question at #StartupMahakumbh.

And India's startup ecosystem had a clear answer.
