From IIT Madras to the global stage in France, QNu Labs is showcasing India’s leadership in quantum-safe cybersecurity and next-generation data protection.

Selected to represent India at Bharat Innovates 2026, an initiative of the Ministry of Education, Government of India, being held in Nice, France, QNu Labs is among a select group of deep-tech ventures presenting breakthrough technologies to global investors, industry leaders, and research partners.

Founded in 2016 and incubated within the IIT Madras innovation ecosystem, QNu Labs was founded by Mr Sunil Gupta, Co-founder & CEO, and Mr Srinivasa Rao Aluri, Co-founder & Chairman, along with Mr Mark Mathias and Prof. Anil Prabhakar, Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras. The company has emerged as India’s pioneer in quantum-safe cybersecurity solutions, developing technologies spanning Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG), Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), secure messaging, and quantum security platforms.

Serving customers worldwide, QNu Labs is helping governments, enterprises, telecom networks, and critical infrastructure prepare for the quantum era with secure, future-ready communications.

As QNu Labs heads to Bharat Innovates 2026, it exemplifies how IIT Madras-incubated deep-tech ventures are building globally relevant technologies that secure tomorrow’s digital world.

IIT Bombay is rethinking how power reaches the machines of the future. Its Solid State Transformer is now on the international stage.

IIT Bombay is proud to present Solid State Transformers (SSTs) at Bharat Innovates 2026 in Nice, France (14–16 June).

Built at IIT Bombay's Department of Electrical Engineering, the SST is a new kind of transformer. It converts high-voltage power in a single step instead of many, so it's smaller, more efficient, and easier to scale.

The team already has a working module running, with a larger 200 kW prototype on the way. Early results: up to 5% more efficiency, 45% less copper, and 1/5th size

Designed for AI data centres, fast EV charging and renewable energy grids, the SST is IIT Bombay's engineering for the energy systems of the future.

“To beard the lion in his den.”

The dictionary defines it as boldly confronting a powerful rival on their own turf.

For years, Norway Chess has been Magnus Carlsen’s den. His turf. His domain.

So I woke up to this news and my jaw dropped.

You didn’t just win a title, @rpraggnachess.

You walked into the lion’s den and emerged victorious

This title is important. Not because of the trophy, but because of your challenger spirit.

And that’s something all of us can learn from…

🇮🇳👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Five years ago, the team at @GalaxEye were students at IIT Madras, chasing what many would have called an “outrageously ambitious” dream.

Yesterday, they launched Mission Drishti, the world’s first OptoSAR satellite.

There’s a simple but powerful lesson here: leapfrogging the world begins with a leap of faith.

By combining optical and radar imaging into a single platform, they didn’t just improve on what existed, they reimagined what was possible.

They’re showing us that the way to take a place on the global stage, is not by catching up, but by changing the game.

They’re my #MondayMotivation

People come from across the world to see Rajasthan’s palaces and forts rising into the sky.

But one of its most remarkable sights does the exact opposite.

It goes deep into the ground.

Chand Baori, in Abhaneri, was built over a thousand years ago. It drops nearly 30 metres across 13 levels and about 3,500 precisely arranged steps making it one of the deepest and largest stepwells in the world.

But what impresses most isn’t just the scale, it’s the thinking.

We talk a lot today about “design thinking” which is essentially solving problems by blending empathy, function and design so seamlessly that the solution becomes an art form.

While the stepwell fills the basic need of water, what emerges is almost hypnotic symmetry.

This is design thinking, centuries before we gave it a name.

Back then, it was simply… wisdom.

A beautiful elephant family sleeps deep inside the Anamalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu, an extraordinary moment captured on camera. The young one gently rests its leg on an elder, seeking comfort, security and love. In the world of elephants, family is everything. And around them stands the forest silent, protective, eternal like a cradle holding life itself. On this International Day of Forests, this tender scene reminds us of a simple truth: if forests do not exist, nothing will remain. Nothing at all. Without forests, the world would be poorer, harsher, emptier. For elephants, for wildlife, for rivers, for people forests are life

Have you read literature laureate Rabindranath Tagore's 'Gitanjali'?

'Gitanjali' from 1910 is one of Tagore's most famous literary works. His poetry is felt to convey the peace of the soul in harmony with nature.
