For years, India depended on imported MRI machines that were expensive, energy-hungry, and out of reach for most hospitals.
Then one Indian engineer decided to change that.
VoxelGrids has built India’s first indigenous MRI scanner, designed and developed entirely in the country. The 1.5-tesla machine is already operational at a cancer care centre in Chandrapur, Maharashtra, quietly marking a major shift in how India approaches medical technology.
What makes it powerful is not just where it’s made, but how it’s built.
The scanner does not use liquid helium, consumes less power, and costs nearly 40 percent less than imported systems.
For hospitals that cannot afford massive upfront investments, VoxelGrids also offers a pay-per-use model, opening access to advanced diagnostics in places that need it most.
Behind this breakthrough is founder Arjun Arunachalam, who left a research career in the US to solve a problem India has lived with for decades.
With support from institutions like Tata Trusts and FISE, the team spent years building, testing, failing, and refining a system designed for Indian realities, not borrowed ones.
This isn’t just about a machine. It’s about bringing quality healthcare closer to people who need it most.

Dear @IncomeTaxIndia now how Taxpayer resolve their query ?????
Details shared by Syed
Today, another very dangerous incident occurred while I was driving to work in Chennai, OMR Road, where the new metro rail project construction is going on. The video that I have attached shows a beam that falls off with a long screw or a bot attached to it and bounces while my car (Creta) goes underneath it. It was a near miss, and I was travelling with my family (my parents and brother), and they were in shock, as anything could have happened, as the sharp point could have caused immense damage or even injury to my family.
As shown in the video, I myself was in shock and had to stop the car immediately. We got out and saw that most of the vehicles coming in the back were able to stop in time and got out without any damage or injuries.
I did not go further to ask anyone, as my family wanted me to take them home immediately.
Thankfully, no one was harmed. but this easily could have been a very bad situation sir.
This incident took place on December 17th 2025, at 11:45 pm in OMR Road - Chennai, Tamil Nadu

@priyankac19 Long term solution is to build very high speed rail networks similar to the bullet train projects so more people can travel farther distance at a reasonable cost and reducing dependency on air operators and blackmailing like this can be prevented.

@Tsering_gaphel Take all democratic measures to raise your point - peaceful protests, engage with government, reach out to opposition, approach judiciary but at no times inciting violence and being violent against own country is justified. Doesn't help anyone.
Update on our Arattai messenger app:
It is another example of our patient engineering approach at work. We have taken the time because we have to make it work in low end phones, low bandwidth networks (we test down to 8 kilobits/sec), offer outstanding privacy and security, and be very easy to use, all at the same time!
We are diligently updating the app weekly. We are working on a lot of the features you expect and in another month, a lot of that will be done. We are also investing in the infrastructure for scaling. I am personally talking to the engineers daily on all this.
We will launch a big marketing campaign once that is all in place. You will like the campaign!
We are committed to offering the best messaging experience in the world. Stay tuned for more!
Like Zoho in the software space, in the world of Maps & Navigation, India’s answer is @mappls@MapmyIndia app— a proud Atmanirbhar Bharat App Award winner and a fully Swadeshi app with 30 million downloads.
With the Government of India’s support and the trust of millions of Indians, we believe every Indian will not just switch, but truly adopt and use the Swadeshi Mappls app for their everyday navigation needs.

@ndtv BJP was in opposition for the longest time. Getting frustrated in few years of being in opposition is not at all a good sign. Talk about real people issues, plans for India's future and growth and definitely people will vote if convinced.
