Samsung Galaxy M36 set to launch in India soon, company reveals price range
The Samsung Galaxy M36 is all set to launch in India soon. The company has dropped a small teaser video on YouTube, confirming its design and price range. Ahead of the official event, Samsung has also revealed that the successor to the Galaxy M35 will be available via Amazon. The brand hasn't teased the key specs or launch date of the M36 yet, but leaks have given us some idea of what to expect from the upcoming Galaxy M series phone. Here are the details.advertisementSamsung Galaxy M36: Design revealedThe Samsung Galaxy M36 comes with a refreshing design, something which the latest teaser shows. The Galaxy M34 and M35 shared the same design blueprint with no major changes in looks. They offer a generic design, but the upcoming version looks quite attractive. The M36 has a triple rear camera setup, which is not that prominent and sits flush with the rear panel. I can see a boxy design with curved frames from the back side for a better grip. It is seemingly coming in a silver colour variant. The front design is under wraps, but the handset will most likely offer a flat panel with a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera. The overall design reminds us of the Galaxy S25 Edge, and the company has even claimed that the M36 will offer a very lightweight design.advertisement"The Galaxy M36 5G will feature an all-new design with a refreshed colour palette and enhanced finish, making it visually appealing and trendy. It will be sleek and extremely lightweight," the company said. Samsung Galaxy M36: India price range confirmed
Ahead of the official launch event, Samsung has confirmed the price range of the Galaxy M36 smartphone. It will be priced under Rs 20,000, which is not surprising because the older models were also made available in a similar range. To recall, the Galaxy M34 was announced at Rs 16,999 and the M35 was introduced at Rs 19,999. The chances of the M36 costing less than the M35 are very less. This could only happen if the upgrades are minor. Since Samsung has confirmed that the base model's price will fall under Rs 20,000, the price of the M36 could be Rs 19,999, the same as its predecessor. But, the exact price is yet to be confirmed by the brand. Samsung Galaxy M36: Expected specsThe details regarding the specs of the Galaxy M36 are scarce. The M36 could draw power from Samsung's in-house Exynos 1380 SoC because the device was spotted on Geekbench with this chip. If this turns out to be true, people might not witness any performance upgrades in the new version. Why? Its predecessor, the Galaxy M35, is also using the same chipset. This also explains why the company might be planning to keep the prices under the Rs 20,000 segment. But, since nothing is officially confirmed, it is best to wait for the launch event to know more about the upcoming mid-range Samsung phone. As for other specs, the M36 will feature three cameras at the back and could run on Android 15 OS. It could be made available with the 6GB RAM option. The rest of the details are currently under wraps.

Sarojininagar leads city's tech transformation
Lucknow: Outlining his vision to transform Lucknow into India's next major digital hub, with Sarojininagar leading the way, MLA Rajeshwar Singh posted on X, saying, "This is just the beginning," as the city's identity evolves "from tradition to technology. " He announced the development of India's first 70-acre Artificial Intelligence City in Lucknow, alongside Sarojininagar's emergence as a strategic defence-tech hub with the 1,500-acre Aerocity, BrahMos unit, and DRDO lab. Major players like IBM, Deloitte, Genpact, and Teleperformance have already entered the city, while Dassault Systèmes is investing Rs 240 crore in R&D at AKTU. Singh emphasised that 35% of Bengaluru's tech workforce hails from Uttar Pradesh and it's time for them to return. Citing a NASSCOM–Deloitte report, he highlighted Lucknow's rising status among India's emerging tech cities, driven by talent availability, cost advantage, and govt support. He also proposed the formation of a Uttar Pradesh Artificial Intelligence Commission to regulate and promote AI research. Crediting Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the ongoing transformation, Singh said, "Sarojininagar is not just growing — it is becoming India's innovation epicentre. We're building tomorrow's Uttar Pradesh today."

Genpact to employees: Follow 10-hour workday 'mandate' or face performance review
Genpact has implemented a new policy requiring a 10-hour workday for its employees, which will be effective mid-June, a report claims. Employees who fail to comply with this mandate may reportedly face performance reviews. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, the policy does not include a corresponding increase in base salary, the report adds. According to a report by The Hindu, the tech and services company will track employee productivity through an internal tool that will monitor their daily active hours. Employees meeting the required hours can reportedly earn up to 500 points monthly, which will be equivalent to Rs 3,000 in incentives. The report also adds that an additional 5% bonus, which is nearly Rs 150, will be paid to employees for any extra time logged beyond the 10-hour mandate. How Genpact employees have reacted to the 10-hour workday mandate Genpact's recent policy rollout has led to growing unrest among employees, particularly in the Hyderabad office, where the atmosphere has been described as 'tense' and morale appears low, the report adds. As per the report, the approach to implementing the policy has also added to the concerns, as it was communicated informally by managers and team leads rather than through official HR channels. Several employees have raised issues about the lack of clarity, with one senior recruitment staff member telling The Hindu: 'There's nothing on paper. It's all word of mouth. If anyone challenges it, they're accused of being difficult and risk termination.' A current employee also took to social media to share his concerns about the company's practices. A LinkedIn user, who identified as a Genpact employee, pointed out that requiring a 10-hour login can affect productivity. In a LinkedIn post, Abhishek Sharma who works as an assistant manager at Genpact wrote: '#For10HrLogin – Is this the new standard or a step backward? As professionals striving for excellence, we're no strangers to going the extra mile. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But mandating a 10-hour login raises some important questions about work-life balance, productivity, and mental health. In today's world where efficiency and output matter more than screen time, shouldn't we focus on results, not hours? Extended login hours can lead to burnout, reduced creativity, and disengagement. I urge leadership to reconsider – is this sustainable, and is it truly what drives growth? Open to hearing others' views. Let's talk about healthier, smarter ways to work."
