Room to Read India has launched the seventh edition of its annual flagship initiative, India Gets Reading, reaffirming its commitment to advancing early learning for children across the country. With the potential to reach over 40 lakh children, th is year's theme, 'My Book, My Story', celeb rates the magic of seeing oneself in stories. Across Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Telangana, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh, it will spark on-ground activations that bring reading closer to every child's heart.
Poornima Garg, Country Director at Room to Read India , emphasized the far-reaching positive influence of early education: 'When children see their own lives, languages, and stories reflected in the books they read, and when parents, teachers, and caregivers join them in those reading spaces, we nurture not just readers, but confident dreamers. This year, our focus is on creating opportunities where children can comprehend stories rooted in their local context, while feeling the dignity, inclusion, and agency to shape their own future. In alignment with the vision of NEP 2020 and the NIPUN Bharat Mission, which prioritize foundational literacy and numeracy for every child, our campaign will continue working with state governments and partners to cultivate joyful reading spaces across the country.'
Designed to extend learning beyond the classroom, the campaign emphasizes safe, inclusive, and empowering spaces where children can read and learn in ways that reflect their realities. Key highlights of the 2025 edition include a ten-day Pledge Reading Time activity, a Read-a-thon, and mobile libraries in various shapes and forms that bring diverse children's literature directly into communities.
Anchored in the belief that every child deserves to read with dignity, India Gets Reading is a unifying call to action, urging communities, educators, and policymakers to amplify every child's voice and build participatory, inclusive learning environments.

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on August 20, 2025, 22:14 IST Shares of Ajanta Pharma Ltd. declined nearly 3% on Tuesday, August 19, after reports surfaced of Income Tax department raids at the company's premises.

In a regulatory filing on Wednesday, August 20, the company confirmed that the Income Tax Department had conducted a search under the Income Tax Act, 1961, at some of its offices and manufacturing units on August 19. Ajanta Pharma stated that the search was still ongoing and that it was 'fully co-operating with the officials and providing the clarifications and details sought by them.' Importantly, the company clarified that its business operations remained unaffected and continued as usual despite the search. Ajanta also denied rumours circulating on social media, attributing the recent sharp price movement in its stock purely to market-driven factors.

Zed Raises $32M Series B Led by Sequoia to Scale Collaborative AI Coding Vision
By Business Wire India Published on August 20, 2025, 17:45 IST Business Wire India Zed Industries, creator of the high-performance open-source code editor Zed, today announced it has raised $32 million in Series B funding led by Sequoia Capital, bringing total funding to over $42 million. The investment will accelerate development of new capabilities that enable real-time collaboration between developers and AI agents directly within code. Contextual and Collaborative Coding for the AI Era Zed is building persistent, contextual conversations tied directly to code. Unlike Git, which enables collaboration through commits and branches but leaves developers working alone between commits, Zed's approach captures ongoing discussions and decisions as they happen using character-level permalinks powered by conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs). 'We're building fundamentally better primitives for collaborative coding, which will allow conversations with teammates and agents to take place directly within the IDE," said Nathan Sobo, CEO and co-founder of Zed. 'By durably linking conversations to specific sections of the code via character-level permalinks, we can transform codebases into multi-dimensional sources of context explaining how any line of code came to be.' "The future of software development is collaboration – both with other humans and AI agents – and Zed is pioneering the infrastructure to make that vision reality," said Sonya Huang, Partner at Sequoia Capital. "Their approach to contextual coding represents a fundamental shift in how developers will work with AI agents, and we're excited to support their mission to transform the development experience." Built From the Ground Up for Collaboration Unlike competitors who have forked Microsoft's VS Code and bolted on AI features, Zed was engineered from the ground up for collaboration. Built on a lightning-fast Rust codebase with GPUI, a GPU-accelerated UI framework created by the Zed team, the editor enables seamless interaction between humans and AI agents. Since going open-source in 2024, Zed has grown quickly, attracting 1,100 contributors and more than 150,000 active developers.
