Homi Bhaba university asks state for 10,000-sq-ft space for satellite campus
Mumbai: Dr Homi Bhabha State University (HBSU), Maharashtra's only govt cluster university, is seeking 10,000 square feet of built-up space from the state govt to establish a satellite campus. The university is in talks with the govt to seek the campus in a location that is well-connected by the city's railway network, to make it accessible for students, even from the underprivileged background. HBSU, which currently comprises six prominent colleges, including Sydenham College, the Institute of Science, and the historic Elphinstone College, is planning significant expansion over the next five years. This includes both the introduction of new academic programmes and the development of additional physical infrastructure. Established in 2019 with four constituent colleges, HBSU recently added two more institutions to its cluster. The cluster university, which recently set up a Section 8 company (non-profit) for innovation and startups and also a tinkering laboratory, needs physical space for the project too. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Unforgettable Cars from the Past Undo A govt official said they understand the university's requirements and will look into it. HBSU has already diversified into fintech programmes, but in the next five years, with a target of increasing enrolment by 20-25% per year, it also plans to diversify with programmes in emerging technologies and equipping all its students with digital skills. "We are looking at offering varied undergraduate, postgraduate and diploma programmes in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, cyber security, blockchain technology, quantum computing, robotics, internet of things, among others. The other direction of growth is in the area of climate change, sustainability and green economy. There is a lot of scope towards carbon accounting and green finance and students can make use of the city as a living laboratory to engage with pressing challenges such as waste management," said Rajanish Kamat, vice-chancellor, HBSU, adding the humanities and sciences departments will also start inter-disciplinary programmes in health informatics and digital health.

Accel bets on IP-led advanced manufacturing companies
Bengaluru: Accel is placing a strategic focus on a new investment theme in India: advanced manufacturing. This move highlights how the VC firm is positioning itself to leverage an early mover advantage in this emerging sector. These companies harness engineering, scientific, or process innovations, backed by proprietary IP, system-level expertise, or integration skills. "Accel's interest in advanced manufacturing deepened after witnessing the success of companies like Zetwerk, which effectively leveraged industrial AI, robotics, and hardware. The global trend shows traditional software-focused VCs are warming up to industrial, multi-dimensional startups. The complexity here translates into durable moats, which is attractive for venture investment," said Prashanth Prakash, partner at Accel. Domestic manufacturing is estimated to reach $1.3 trillion by the 2029–30 financial year, growing at a CAGR of 18%. In line with this opportunity, Accel is investing in advanced manufacturing startups—ranging from fabless chip design and EV components to space-grade materials and process automation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain! Techno Mag Learn More Undo Portfolio companies such as Scimplify, Fabheads, Bounce, and Nabhdrishti are already driving innovations in embedded systems, materials science, and system integration. You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru Prakash believes this decade will be defined by AI-driven industrialisation and precision manufacturing, with startups addressing complex supply chains, enabling import substitution, and positioning India as a global hub for IP-led manufacturing. "While some small grants and seed funds exist, scaling products requires capital, which remains the main bottleneck beyond gestation time. Globally, investors are increasingly backing defence and manufacturing startups due to the moats built by complex systems, which are hard to replicate," he said. Advanced manufacturing involves design, engineering, materials, software, and scalable production—commanding higher value and wages. "Gestation times will shorten with the right capital and founders. In three years, we expect 50–100 advanced manufacturing companies in India, many crossing $100 million valuations," he added. Capital flow into this space is expected to accelerate over the next 12–24 months as investors observe success stories and government schemes such as the Rs 10,000 crore R&D fund and design-led incentives (DLI) take effect. India has also emerged as a leading alternative for global manufacturing destinations. Beyond geopolitical tensions, the concentration risk around critical inputs has become a significant concern. China commands 60–70% of the global rare earth market, produces 80% of the world's solar PV modules, and dominates key supply chains in batteries and pharmaceutical APIs. This dependency has raised national security concerns, prompting countries to incentivise reshoring and nearshoring of critical industries. When asked about Accel's investment blueprint, Prakash clarified that the firm is not carving out a separate fund yet. "But advanced manufacturing will be a major theme in our recently raised $650 million fund. We are also exploring accelerator-like initiatives such as Atoms. We currently have 4–5 companies in advanced manufacturing in our pipeline and expect about 10 active companies by the end of this year, all with market-ready products," he added.

MoD clears big arms deals, including BrahMos, armed drones, worth Rs 67,000cr
NEW DELHI: The defence ministry on Tuesday gave the initial nod for the procurement of 87 new heavy-duty armed drones and over 110 more air-launched BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, which IAF used as the primary weapon to strike Pakistani airbases and radar sites in May, among several modernisation proposals collectively worth Rs 67,000 crore. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The acceptance of necessity (AoN) granted by the Rajnath Singh-led Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) for the 87 armed medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) remotely-piloted aircraft will see an Indian company tying up with a foreign one to produce the drones with "an indigenous content of 60%". "The need for such MALE drones, armed with air-to-ground missiles and laser-guided bombs as well as capable of operating at long ranges, was acutely felt for the three services during Operation Sindoor," a senior official told TOI. Armed forces hope to induct 87 new MALE drones, which are faster than 'Predator' HALE The 87 drones, with ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) and weapon-carrying capability, will cost around Rs 20,000 crore. Another Rs 11,000 crore will be for logistical and other support by the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for 10 years," the senior official added. India, of course, had used Israeli-origin Harop and Harpy kamikaze drones, which act as cruise missiles by exploding into enemy assets and radars, to hit targets deep inside Pakistan during the May 7-10 hostilities. The armed forces hope to induct the 87 new MALE drones, which return to their bases after strike missions, faster than the 31-armed MQ-9B 'Predator' HALE (high-altitude, long endurance) drones ordered from the US for Rs 32,350 crore in Oct last year, which will be delivered only in the 2029-30 timeframe. The over 110 air-launched BrahMos missiles, which are jointly manufactured by India and Russia, in turn, will cost around Rs 10,800 crore. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These 450-km range missiles, which fly almost three times the speed of sound at Mach 2.8, combined with Sukhoi-30MKI fighters, with a combat radius of about 1,500-km, constitute a deadly weapons package, as was witnessed during Operation Sindoor. The DAC also accorded AoN for eight BrahMos fire control systems and vertical launchers for older Indian warships for Rs 650 crore. Around 20 frontline warships, including the latest destroyers and frigates, are already armed with the BrahMos missiles. In March last year, the defence ministry had inked a Rs 19,519 crore deal for procurement of over 220 BrahMos missiles for frontline warships with the Indo-Russian joint venture BrahMos Aerospace. The total value of deals inked for BrahMos has crossed Rs 58,000 crore over the years, with the missiles becoming the "prime conventional (non-nuclear) precision strike weapons" for the armed forces. For the Army, the DAC gave the nod for new thermal imager-based driver night-sights for infantry combat vehicles (BMPs). "This would provide higher mobility and operational advantage," another official said.
