Google likely to unveil Pixel 10 series at Made by Google event on August 13 or 20
Google Pixel phones are some of the most anticipated devices of the year, and the upcoming Pixel 10 series is no exception. In the last few weeks, some leaks have hinted that Google might launch new phones a few weeks prior, but now leaks claim that the tech giant may have pushed the date back to August.
Going by a post by the known tipster Arsene Lupin on X, it looks like Google would be launching the Pixel 10 series at the Made By Google event on August 13, but a new report by Android Headlines on Monday, June 2, claims that these upcoming phones will be unveiled on August 20, with pre-orders starting August 28.
Unlike Apple iPhones, which are often announced in the first, second or third week of September, Google is known for shifting the Pixel series launch date forward or backwards by a few months. Back in 2023, the Pixel 8 was officially announced in October, but now it looks like the tech giant will be going back to an August launch.

The upcoming Pixel 10 series, which consists of four models – Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel Pro Fold are said to be powered by Google's in-house designed Tensor G5 chipset. Unlike the Tensor G4, which was partly held back by Samsung's foundry, the upcoming chipset is expected to offer more performance and better thermals, thanks to TSMC.
Aside from the new and faster chipset, a newly leaked commercial hints that the base model in the Pixel 10 series will now sport a telephoto lens. However, to keep the price of the device in the same line with its predecessor, Google may downgrade the main and ultrawide lenses. Coming to the Pixel 10 Pro and the Pixel 10 Pro XL, leaks suggest that these devices will have the same cameras as their Pixel 9 series counterparts.
On the design front, the Pixel 10 series will have the same design language as its predecessor. And with Google announcing numerous AI features at this year's I/O event, we expect to see new generative AI features like Video Generative ML, Speak-to-Tweak, and Sketch-to-Image.
Google also recently introduced its official Google Store in India, enabling users to purchase new Pixel devices directly from the source. Like last year, the vanilla Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold are expected to start from Rs 79,990, Rs 99,999 and Rs 1,72,999, respectively. However, Google might bump up the Pixel 10 Pro XL's price by around $100 or Rs 8,500, with the phone now likely to cost from Rs 1,02,200.

Crime AI an end-to-end investigation tool
"Currently, the NCRP complaint system relies on manual complaint submission through self-registration on the portal or through the 1930 helpline. It lacks intelligent classification, real-time tracking and streamlined investigation capabilities for complex fraud cases," said the startup's founder, Meet Bisht, a BTech in cybersecurity from Parul University and a cyber expert who worked closely with Gujarat Police. "Manual data entry is prone to human error. Often, minute details are missing from complaints as cyberfraud victims are often unaware of what is needed like the crime category or subcategory or transaction IDs," Bisht said. "As this process is time-consuming, by the time a complaint is lodged, the stolen funds have been layered through multiple accounts and recovery either becomes difficult or is only partial. There is also workload duplication for LEAs as the same fraudsters/accounts appear in multiple cases with no linkage," Bisht added. Crime AI was proposed as a solution at the IndiaAI I4C Cyber Guard AI Hackathon — the national competition organized by the India AI Mission in collaboration with the I4C. "Crime AI is a smart, end-to-end cybercrime investigation portal with AI classification, optical character recognition (OCR), voice processing and LEA workflow management features," said Bisht, whose team of young innovators, Rohit Ganaka and Yukta Chauhan, bagged Rs 3 lakh in funding after winning the third prize at the hackathon. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Health Plans for 2025 – Start Here Search7 Learn More Undo The AI classification in Crime AI auto-detects complaint category and subcategory using natural language processing. "The OCR-powered document analysis feature extracts text from screenshots, PDFs and images uploaded by complainants and auto-fills in the fields of the form from the evidence files," he said. Through audio transcription, voice complaints are converted into structured text. This feature detects and extracts entities like names, amounts, banks and fraud types, among others," said Bisht, adding that currently, the AI model supports more than 15 Indian languages. "With this model, law enforcement agencies, including those at district, state or national level, can even ask banks or payment gateways to freeze funds or put liens on accounts if there is a complaint of fraud," said Bisht.

Casebook to capital: Startups fuelling learning!
Company Secretary Author- The Unblinking Eye! and Walking The Rainbow of Life! Blogger- Times of India. In 2025, India emerges not just as an economic powerhouse but as a living, breathing laboratory of entrepreneurship. With over 159,000 startups officially recognised by DPIIT, India stands proudly as the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world, after the United States and China. This startup boom isn't merely a marker of economic vitality—it's becoming an innovative pedagogical tool in commerce education. Universities and colleges are now embedding live startup case studies into their curriculum, transforming chalkboard theories into boardroom-ready insights. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 laid the groundwork for this transformation. By 2025, these reforms are crystallising into mandates: the University Grants Commission (UGC) now requires 'Innovation and Entrepreneurship' as a core component in undergraduate commerce programs. In response, institutions are using Indian startup case studies, not only in digital textbooks but also within assignments, assessments, and incubator-linked learning models. India's government has strategically fuelled this entrepreneurial wave. The Startup India initiative, launched in 2016, continues to simplify compliance, provide tax holidays, and extend equity support through a Rs 10,000 crore Fund of Funds. Complementing this, the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) has enabled innovation at the school and college level, with over 10,000 Atal Tinkering Labs and 72 Atal Incubation Centres (AICs) across the country. The latest leap forward is the Startup India Digital Platform 2.0, introduced in 2025. This AI-enabled portal serves as a central hub for investor matchmaking, IP support in regional languages, and dynamic compliance tracking, setting a global benchmark for digital ease of doing business. Meanwhile, the Union Budget 2024–25 introduced the National Credit Guarantee Scheme for Startups, offering collateral-free loans and government-backed risk mitigation, especially tailored to first-time and underrepresented founders. This marks a shift toward systemic democratisation of entrepreneurial opportunity. India's startup scene today is a mosaic of sectors—fintech, healthtech, agritech, and deep tech—each pushing boundaries. Take fintech: UPI processed over Rs 18.41 trillion in transactions in January 2024 alone, exemplifying real-time innovation at scale. In healthtech, AI-led diagnostics and remote patient care are becoming the norm. Agritech players are closing the rural-urban divide with blockchain-led supply chains and IoT-based crop analytics. The rise of fabless chip design startups, backed by the Rs 76,000 crore Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, is putting India on the semiconductor map, with applications in electric mobility, defence, and 5 G. As of 2025, over 40 such ventures have emerged, offering a deep dive into DeepTech education. What's even more significant: more than 55% of startups now emerge from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities like Coimbatore, Surat, and Bhubaneswar. This decentralisation of innovation is redefining economic geography, and commerce students must study it to understand India's future. Case studies that make commerce come alive Udaan: Rewriting B2B playbooks Udaan, the Bengaluru-based B2B commerce platform, recently raised $114 million to solidify its presence in sectors like FMCG and staples. Its technology-driven disruption of traditional wholesale supply chains makes it a masterclass in logistics, procurement strategy, and digital distribution models. Sarvam AI: Building Bharat's own AI Sarvam AI has built a powerful multilingual LLM, Sarvam-M, trained across Indian languages. While some reports claim it has up to 24 billion parameters, its exact size varies across public sources and may be closer to 13B. Regardless, its applications in education, automation, and local governance spark debates on AI localization, model ethics, and scalability in emerging markets. Ringg AI: Voice tech for the masses Ringg AI, launched in 2023, offers a no-code conversational AI platform that lets businesses build multilingual voice agents for customer engagement. While its expansion into Middle Eastern and Latin American markets is in progress and not yet fully public, its strategy in international deployment offers lessons in cross-cultural product adaptation and lean market entry. Exit lessons from startup M&A India's startup ecosystem is no longer just about creation—it's maturing through strategic exits. According to PwC India's Q1 2025 report, startup M&A deals rose by approximately 43% year-on-year, signalling consolidation. Notable examples include PharmEasy's acquisition of D2C health brands and Cred's integration of AI analytics firms—rich territory for finance and strategy students exploring valuation models, synergies, and exit dynamics. Startup Mahakumbh 2024: Learning in action The Startup Mahakumbh, held in December 2024, was a watershed moment. With 2,000+ startups, it catalysed investment declarations worth over Rs 1,000 crore and forged partnerships between entrepreneurs and academia. Institutions like IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad announced live-project integration into their coursework. This convergence of the classroom and the boardroom redefines 'learning by doing.' This pedagogical shift signals a clear departure from rote learning. Integrating startup case studies cultivates real-world business intuition—students are now encouraged to evaluate risk, pitch ideas, test business models, and analyse operational bottlenecks through live examples. The UGC's entrepreneurship education mandate transforms experiential learning from optional to essential. It aligns seamlessly with the mission of Atal Innovation Mission, aiming to unlock creativity and critical thinking right from college. Incubation networks in emerging cities, such as iCreate in Ahmedabad and AIC-SMU in Sikkim, bring this experience to the grassroots. These hubs aren't just startup nurseries; they're academic collaborators. The bigger picture: Case study of capitalism as a cultural shift India's startup ecosystem is no longer peripheral to education—it is the education. By replacing abstract theories with applied innovation, we're witnessing a new model of 'case study capitalism'—where the economy itself becomes the textbook. With NEP-aligned reforms, digital learning platforms, and government-industry-academia coalitions, commerce education in India is entering its most agile and adaptive phase yet. Graduates are no longer just job-seekers—they're problem-solvers, thinkers, and creators. This movement is not just about teaching business—it's about shaping the very business of teaching.

Cyber security upgrade for cooperative banks planned
Lucknow: In a major step toward modernising and securing the state's cooperative banking network, the Yogi govt is set to equip Uttar Pradesh Cooperative Bank Limited and 50 district cooperative banks with advanced cyber security infrastructure. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As part of this initiative, these banks will be onboarded onto a core banking system (CBS)-based cloud platform, ensuring complete safety and transparency of all customer transactions. Leading technology firms such as TCS and Wipro will support the implementation of this ambitious initiative. These companies will help strengthen the cooperative banking system with state-of-the-art technologies for data protection, server management and cyber-attack prevention. The project will also receive support from NABARD, which will provide technical guidance, training, monitoring and financial assistance. The objective is to make all cooperative banks more secure, resilient and trustworthy for their customers. The Yogi govt is not only deploying a robust technological shield but also launching a public awareness campaign on cyber safety. Banking customers will be educated on how to protect themselves from cyber fraud, where to report incidents and which practices are considered safe. Awareness drives will be conducted through bank branches, gram panchayats and digital media. To ensure effective implementation of this initiative, the state govt has made a special budgetary provision of Rs 10 crore for the financial year 2025–26. This fund will be used for establishing technical infrastructure, enhancing server security, conducting training programs, raising cyber awareness and integrating services with the cloud platform. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Beyond improving cyber security, this initiative will also bolster the financial strength of district cooperative banks. With better technological infrastructure and more transparent services, public confidence in the cooperative banking sector is expected to grow, leading to an increase in deposits and credit disbursements.
