Hyderabad-based Maithri Aquatech, with its patented Meghdoot technology that creates drinking water from the air, has secured a major funding round.

It’s a reminder that some of the most impactful innovations solve fundamental human problems not with incremental change, but by reimagining what’s possible.

Congratulations to the team. Here’s to building real climate resilient solutions from India for the world.

See you at #aiimpactsummit today at ⁦@MIB_India⁩ and let’s share your AI story.

Let me admit, after hosting TechSparks and SheSparks and all those hundreds of events over the years, this was the first time I found myself hosting an event where the participants and I were sitting on the floor of a public park.

Yes, we held our very first meeting of the pollution initiative and we decided it needed to be a community event, and not a corporate event.

We gathered at Connaught Place's Central Park.

A focused group of Founders, VCs, Private Equity people, academics - all deeply engaging with each other.
We all had one thing in common - children, elders and loved ones who are struggling to breathe and desperately want to change things around.

Founders pitched their products, investors gave their thumbs-up - and the community that decided to back each other in this journey.

I will be sharing more details soon, but at this stage I just want to say - I am so grateful to everyone who is part of this initiative and has stepped up.
Thank you. ❤️

[Shradha Sharma @SharmaShradha]

I made a request hoping we could do something about Delhi's air pollution crisis together.

In less than 2 days, I have more than 500 plus applications - almost all of them with some brilliant, very actionable ideas. Just wanted to offer my deepest gratitude to all of you who engaged with my post.

Let’s take this forward in the coming week 🙏

@SharmaShradha Good to see this initiative

रिलायंस इंडस्ट्रीज़ के चेयरमैन मुकेश अंबानी अपने पुत्र अनंत अंबानी के साथ बिहार के गया जी पहुँचे। यहाँ उन्होंने विश्वविख्यात विष्णुपद मंदिर में पितरों की आत्मा की शांति के लिए पिंडदान और विशेष पूजन-अर्चना की।

गया जी में पिंडदान की परंपरा हजारों वर्षों से चली आ रही है और इसे मोक्षभूमि माना जाता है। मुकेश अंबानी का यह आगमन एक बार फिर बिहार की इस धार्मिक नगरी के वैश्विक महत्व को रेखांकित करता है।

When 38 districts speak, 25,000 ideas rise; Bihar shows the way.

What began as a dream of 10,000 ideas in Bihar has become 25,000 voices of change. Special mention for the 33 young passionate Startup Coordinators, the Bihar Idea Festival is no longer just an event. It’s a movement.

The Bihar Idea Festival began as a dream; to spark change in all 38 districts of Bihar, to inspire people to think like entrepreneurs, to become job creators, and to believe in the power of ideas. Our initial goal was to collect 10,000 ideas. Today, we stand with 25,000 ideas, more than double what we imagined.

This was not possible alone. It has been made real because of support of so many Biharis coming together - the 33 Startup District Coordinators, who are standing with me in this photo. They are living proof that together, any change is possible.

It is also a reminder that big, systemic change never happens in isolation. It happens when you work with some of the most passionate, ambitious young people. Also, the industries department of government of Bihar who lead this from the front.

Thank you to minister @mishranitish for making this all possible in Bihar. You have shown that a driven leader can make things happen on ground.
And we await and welcome minister @PiyushGoyal to Bihar today. Sir, your presence gives us the strength, encouragement and wings to fly higher. Thank you for coming to Bihar 😍

Innovation doesn’t live only in Bengaluru, Mumbai, or Delhi.

It’s rising from Rajkot, Patna, Raipur, Aurangabad, Nizamabad, and Hubli.
From deep tech dreamers to rural innovators; bold, original ideas are coming from everywhere.
Backed by India’s unsung heroes, the “incubators and incubator managers”
Launching “Bharat ke Incubator” series.

Time to recognise “#BharatkeIncubators”

जिनको भी यह संदेह है कि बिहार में क्या सकारात्मक बदलाव हुए हैं उन्हें यह वीडियो अवश्य देखना चाहिए। बदलते और बढ़ते बिहार का यह एक सशक्त उदाहरण है।

बिहार में जीविका दीदियों ने एक मौन क्रांति के रूप में ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में आर्थिक विकास का एक सशक्त मॉडल खड़ा किया है जो निःसंदेह प्रेरणीय है।

जब टीवी पर ‘शार्क टैंक’ आता है, तो सबको मज़ा आता है। पर गांव की ‘दीदियाँ’ जब 1 लाख करोड़ से ज्यादा के लेनदेन, और 99.5% के रिपेमेंट दर के साथ बिज़नेस खड़ा कर देती हैं, तो कोई ताली भी नहीं बजाता! बिहार की 1.35 करोड़ महिलाओं ने JEEViKA के ज़रिए जो कर दिखाया है, वो सिर्फ़ स्कीम नहीं, साइलेंट क्रांति है।
हमने बात की इन दीदियों से, और JEEViKA के CEO हिमांशु शर्मा से भी! वीडियो देखिए - और तय करिए कि असली ‘स्टार्टअप इंडिया’ कहां चल रहा है। लिंक 👇 https://t.co/CcDkjxIRy9

Sir, as you already know, Bihar has very high quality talent and big investments with large industries and IT - AI parks, tourism to agri investments will stop the migration to a large extent. We need that in Bihar as a priority. It will change the story: though things have happened, but, still( a lot needs to be done,

I am always inspired by the enthusiasm of our entrepreneurs, who not only aim to make a mark for themselves but also support others in doing the same.

What an amazing evening I had today among the founders, creators, and believers at the launch of THE भारत PROJECT, envisioned by @YourStoryCo’s Founder & CEO @SharmaShradha. She has made a notable impact in the entrepreneurial world through her dedication to storytelling, and her journey is a reflection of Narishakti.

I shared insights on the potential of Indian entrepreneurs to bring transformative changes in society and also had a candid conversation about my very own entrepreneurial experience!

Deeply impressed with her ambitious mission to create 1 million entrepreneurs from Tier 2 & Tier 3 cities and rural India through this project.

My best wishes to her and everyone involved in this remarkable project. होकर निडर, शुरूकर. 🙂
