India has built one of the world’s fastest digital payment systems. Its Aadhaar database covers over 142 crore people. Its 5G rollout connected 99.6% of districts in under two years. And yet, on any given day, somewhere in this country, a government website is timing out on a citizen who just needed to download a certificate. That gap between India’s shining digital ambitions and its frustrating digital reality is not an accident. It is the predictable result of how the government spends its technology budget. The numbers are not small The Union Budget for 2024–25 allocated Rs 21,936 crore to…

Think about the last time you stood in a lift, waited for your chai to boil, or sat in an auto stuck at a red light. What did you do in that gap? If you are like most people, your hand was already reaching for your phone before you even noticed you were bored. That small, automatic reflex is the real story of our generation. It is not that we love scrolling so much, or that social media has some magical pull. It is that we have quietly lost something most of us don’t even notice is missing: the ability…

Travel platform Cleartrip has launched Cleartrip Creators Club, a new affiliate programme designed to help travel content creators earn money by connecting their social media content directly to travel bookings. The initiative reflects the growing influence of digital creators in shaping travel decisions and aims to create new income opportunities for creators of all sizes. Unlike many creator programmes that require a large follower base, the Cleartrip Creators Club has no minimum follower requirement. Instead, the company says it will focus on meaningful audience engagement and the quality of content rather than just the number of followers. The programme allows…

For nearly three decades, the internet has operated on a simple assumption: a human being sits behind every click. Whether it was searching on Google, scrolling through social media, reading the news or shopping online, the web was built primarily for people. Yet a growing body of evidence suggests that the internet is entering a new phase, one in which machines are increasingly interacting with other machines on behalf of humans. The latest sign of this shift comes from Google. The technology giant is exploring new ways to verify that users are human, moving beyond traditional CAPTCHA systems that have…

For years, the advice for a worried Indian engineering student was simple: if you can’t get computer science, run from anything to do with code. Civil engineering, in particular, was seen as the safest, dullest, most AI-proof choice on the table. Bridges don’t need machine learning. Concrete doesn’t get automated. Or so the thinking went. This year’s IIT admission numbers seem to support that story, at first glance. According to the first round of seat allotments released by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority, civil engineering saw a dramatic jump in the quality of students choosing it. At IIT Bombay, the…

You don’t always know you’re slipping until someone points it out. A friend notices you’ve gone quiet on the group chat. A partner asks why you’ve barely left the house this week. But long before any of them say a word, your phone has probably already noticed. It doesn’t notice the way a friend does, of course. It has no idea what sadness feels like. What it has is data such as how fast your thumbs move across the keyboard, how often you leave home, how long you stare at the screen at 2 a.m., and how many calls you’ve…

On the morning of June 16, 2026, millions of Indians woke up to find Telegram gone. The app used daily by freelancers, journalists, students, small business owners, and creators was simply inaccessible. No warning. No grace period. Just a blank screen where a working app used to be. The reason? The Indian government blocked Telegram across the entire country until June 22, one day after the NEET UG 2026 re-examination scheduled for June 21. The move was made under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, the same law that once banned TikTok, PUBG Mobile, and dozens of Chinese…
