India’s business scene is buzzing. Young minds across the country are launching new ventures faster than ever. Co-working spaces are full, pitch decks are everywhere, and "funding" has become the new buzzword. But amid all this activity, there’s a quiet worry — are we truly building for the future, or just repackaging services with apps? A Closer Look at What We're Building Many of today's new companies revolve around service aggregation — be it food delivery, transport, or grocery drops. These models may feel modern because they're app-based, but they rely heavily on large pools of low-paid workers. Riders, runners, and dispatch staff form the backbone, not engineering or science. While these companies solve convenience problems, they don’t really build new breakthroughs. A business that connects people and products quickly is useful — no doubt — but is that what we want India’s smartest minds to work on? A Business Isn’t Always a Startup Let’s clear so...

  Talk to anyone about the future of India, and you’ll hear words like development, innovation, and self-reliance thrown around a lot. But dig a little deeper, and you'll see that at the heart of it all lies something far more fundamental—education. More specifically, engineering education. Engineers don’t just build bridges and machines. They help shape how a country functions—how cities grow, how technology evolves, how industries move forward. And for a country like India, where millions of young people are stepping into the workforce each year, ensuring that engineering education is solid, practical, and future-ready isn't just a good idea. It’s something we must focus on right now. Why Engineers Matter More Than Ever Think about the roads you take to work, the metro you ride, the water you drink, or the phone you’re reading this on. There’s an engineer behind every bit of it. And it's not just about physical structures or gadgets. Engineers are also working quiet...

Engineering today isn't what it used to be. The days of purely mechanical tools and isolated systems are long gone. In their place, we have machines that talk to each other, devices that adapt on their own, and factories that run without human hands. This shift toward connected, intelligent systems has opened doors to incredible possibilities. But it’s also opened windows — for hackers. As our gadgets, infrastructure, and everyday tools grow smarter, the question of how safe they really are becomes more important than ever. Not Just an IT Problem Anymore Cybersecurity has traditionally been seen as something the tech team handles. Engineers were expected to focus on structure, efficiency, or mechanics — not passwords and firewalls. But with everything now running on code or connected to the internet, this separation no longer makes sense. Imagine an entire city’s traffic lights connected to a central control system. Or a dam that adjusts water flow using remote sensors. The...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not a future phenomenon anymore—it's a here-and-now technology transforming the way engineers design, construct, and operate systems in industries. While technology advances, engineering is quickly incorporating AI into fundamental processes to make them leaner, more accurate, and innovative. Smarter Design Using AI Design is among the first fields where AI is making its presence felt. Conventional CAD programs are very much dependent on human intervention, restricting creativity generally to the imagination and experience of the designer. However, AI-based generative design allows engineers to feed constraints like weight, strength, material, and cost, and lets the algorithm come up with hundreds of feasible design alternatives. These computer-based systems not only speed up design cycles; they also create solutions that are lighter, stronger, and less expensive than designs created by hand. In industries such as aerospace and automotive, this mean...
