In 2016, Dr. Geetha Manjunath was heading AI research at Xerox's Bengaluru lab, a role that followed a PhD from IISc, a stint as Principal Scientist at HP Labs, and over two decades building enterprise AI systems. Then her cousin, in her early forties, was diagnosed with breast cancer at a stage too advanced to treat.
"The mammogram had missed her cancer earlier," Geetha would later say. She quit her job soon after.
Mammography, the global standard for breast cancer screening, has real limits. It uses ionising radiation, is often painful enough that women actively avoid it, and is known to be less reliable in younger women and in the dense breast tissue common across Indian women. In India, where breast cancer accounts for over a quarter of all cancer diagnoses and the five-year survival rate trails far behind the United States and Australia, late detection is not a statistic. It is the difference between a cure and a funeral.
Geetha had spent years working with thermal imaging on unrelated projects. She wondered if temperature variation in breast tissue could reveal what mammograms missed, and built the science to test it. The result, Thermalytix, requires no radiation, no incisions, and no physical contact: a woman sits before a thermal sensor for a few minutes, and an AI model trained on clinical data analyses the image.
Niramai Health Analytix, the company Geetha founded and now leads as CEO and CTO, has since screened over 300,000 women across more than 20 countries, built on 39 patents and validated in 55+ peer-reviewed clinical studies. Geetha herself has been named to Forbes India's Top 20 Self-Made Women and inducted as a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering.
For India, where cost and discomfort keep millions of women away from regular screening, a radiation-free test that can be deployed in a primary clinic is not a convenience. It is a chance to catch what would otherwise be caught too late.

US just learnt hard lesson AGAIN.
US tried hard to pressure Modi Sarkar not to implement FCRA Amendments. Rubio went to Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata. Amb Gor rushed to meet HM .@AmitShah very next day of G-7 Summit.
Modi Sarkar said STFU. No compromise on Religious Affairs & Internal Security of Bharat.
Bharat has amended FCRA rules OVERNIGHT to tighten foreign funding of NGOs.
- Foreign-funded NGOs can no longer use categories like "religious education", "preservation of faith traditions", or "indigenous belief systems" for Conversion/Attempted Conversion activities.
- Fresh restrictions on foreign nationals as key functionaries.
- Ultimate Donors must now be disclosed (money laundering through shell identities screwed).
- Social media accounts will be Scrutinised (such accounts were used to incite Manipur vi0£ence)
- Mandatory field verification of fund use.
- Dormant NGOs to lose licences.
US opposing FCRA Amendments is understandable, but why's CONgress opposing?
Anyway! Who cares! Modi Sarkar has done what Bharat needs desperately.
Meet Rani Mallik..She has literally written all the famous songs of 90's.
But Why did Anu Malik or any other music directors never speak about her till date on any of the reality shows...?
भारत Food-Surplus Nation होने के साथ-साथ वैश्विक Food Security में भी महत्वपूर्ण योगदान दे रहा है। हमारे लिए Food Security केवल एक Policy Matter नहीं, बल्कि यह मानवता के प्रति हमारी जिम्मेदारी भी है।
PM is traveling abroad to secure investments and ensure energy security in this period of economic gloom due to various global wars. It is one thing to know that, as a contender of PM post over the last 16 years, you don't have the intellectual capacity to understand this. However, I am intrigued to see your irritation towards promoting a reputed Indian brand (Parle). Is it because you don't want Indian brands to be showcased on the global stage? Or are you disgruntled by your intelligence (or lack of it), which has kept you puzzled over why melody is chocolaty?
@bbcnewsmarathi Why so ambiguous language?
It's a much needed ,although late action.
No where u mention the outcome and reason... stalled railway infrastructure projects!
Poor reporting!
Maintaining shady stabdards of BBC
@DietDrsayajirao This is spongy tissue phenomenon , inherent disorder with hapus/Alfonso mangoes.
The incidence increases with maturity of fruit, excessive heat, heat shock
It's a natural reaction by fruit to nourish the embryo in the stone by sucking nutrition from the pulp
It's safe to eat!
A joyous moment for every Indian!
Chola Copper Plates dating back to the 11th Century will be repatriated to India from the Netherlands. Took part in the ceremony for the same in the presence of Prime Minister Rob Jetten.
The Chola Copper Plates are a set of 21 large plates and 3 small plates and largely contain texts in Tamil, one of the most beautiful languages of the world. They relate to the great Rajendra Chola I formalising an oral commitment made by his father, King Rajaraja I. They also showcase the greatness of the Cholas. We in India are immensely proud of the Cholas, their culture and their maritime prowess.
I thank the Government of the Netherlands and Leiden University in particular, where the Copper Plates were kept since the mid-19th century.

@RakeshK32229480 The well acknowledged leader repersenting this town could have well influenced, if not ensured, urban development and civics infrastructure across state during his influential tenure spanning decades.... alas!
Look at this map.
BKC ,Mumbai's most happening business district is surrounded by three suburban railway lines, two express highways, and a metro station. More metro lines on the way. An estimated 250,000+ people work here.
And yet, BKC is a traffic nightmare. Takes forever is get out of buildings during peak hours. Lot of commuters are on trains, bus and metro but the last mile is an ordeal. Footpaths exist but can be better designed to deal with heat and rain. Autos in BKC have a story of their own. Streets designed for vehicles, not people. Companies encourage car pooling but vehicles counts are rapidly growing. Even more office space is being added!
The infrastructure is there. The demand is there. What's missing is innovation. How can we make BKC move better? How can we nudge employees to shift from personal vehicles to public transport? Can we make the walk from station to office a pleasant one even in summer? Can we redesign bus stops to offer dignity and real time info? Can we solve for the real reasons why auto's dont run on meter?
This is exactly what the Reimagining BKC Innovation Challenge is looking for.
#BKCMoves collectiveof many organizations and corporates of BKC working with Government agenices like @MMRDAOfficial@MumbaiMetro3@mybmc@myBESTBus is inviting commuters, students, startups, designers, researchers, and urban thinkers to reimagine how people move to, from, and within BKC and how its streets & public spaces can become more safe, inclusive & alive.
Your solution could span physical design, technology, operations, or behaviour change. You don't need to be a transport expert or an urban planner. Your lived experience is where great ideas come from!
Shortlisted entries will be featured in an immersive exhibition in BKC Mumbai, in collaboration with government agencies and partner organizations, and winners will be felicitated at the event.

Who is Behind Corporate Jihad (Thread)
When it happens in 1-2 companies, chase the individuals. But when it’s happening in many companies, chase the system

After deep digging, I found the real faces behind it

@Lenskart_com will now blame the ad agency for this trash. But everyone in the ad world knows that the brief comes from the client.
Hindus are shown ugly, malnourished, no bindi and plastic marigold flowers. The food makes me sick. Dates on Pongal?
Is this modernity or a Middle Eastern aesthetic pushed by specific investors?
Sanitising Hindu traditions to fit a global brief isn't inclusive, it’s erasure.
