A first-of-its-kind OTT platform that teaches Sanskrit, developed by Vyoma Linguistic Labs Foundation, was launched in Bengaluru on Saturday. The platform, available at features an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered user interface that allows users to explore videos, podcasts, audiobooks, games, and e-books. It is designed to help people of all ages and proficiency levels learn Sanskrit. Kris Gopalakrishnan, co-founder of Infosys, who launched the platform said, 'Leveraging technology will help preserve our timeless knowledge and make it universally accessible. This is a creative, open, and joyful space for learners from across the world. This is a powerful way to bring ancient Indian intellectual traditions to the global stage.' The launch of the initiative brought together scholars, technologists, educators, and cultural enthusiasts of Sanskrit and Indian knowledge systems.

41st anniversary of The Times of India, Bengaluru: EVS blaze trail for rest of country
Representative Image By: Tarun Mehta Bengaluru has always been a step ahead of the curve. Long before something becomes obvious to the rest of the country, this city finds a way to make it real. You saw it when India's software story first took root here, with companies like Infosys and Wipro quietly turning an unknown industry into India's global B calling card. You saw it again when Flipkart rewrote how India shops, and Swiggy changed how India eats. You can see it now in how Bengaluru is shaping India's deep tech and electric vehicle story. It is not by accident. Bengaluru is one of the few cities where you can build from scratch. If you are trying to put something new on the road, you will find what you need here: design labs, talented engineers, machine shops, early adopters, and investors ready to bet on an idea that is still just a sketch. Once that idea becomes a prototype, you'll find people ready to test it, break it, tell you what works and what does not, and come back next week to do it all over again.

Walk into a café in Koramangala or a co-working space in HSR Layout, and you will see this spirit in action, with founders swapping notes, engineers debating design challenges, and students hoping to join the next big thing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why this MBA won't break the bank SRM Online Learn More Undo This constant flow of talent and ideas is why Bengaluru stays resilient when things do not go to plan and moves faster when they do. Before the rest of India was fully online, Bengaluru was already building software for the world. By the 2010s, it was the testing ground for early experiments in e-commerce, payments, and hyperlocal delivery while much of the country was still warming up to smartphones. Not every bet paid off, but the habit of trying, failing, learning, and trying again built the muscle for what came next. The same mindset that built India's IT backbone helped Bengaluru become the launchpad for India's internet startups and laid the groundwork for the EV and hardware wave. Electric vehicles were a natural extension of that journey. As usual, Bengaluru did not wait for them to become mainstream. It backed them up early. Today, Bengaluru's EV penetration is more than double the national average, one of the highest across India's major cities. But it is not just the number of vehicles on the road that matters. It is the entire ecosystem around them. OEMs, suppliers, battery pack makers, software firms building fleet tools, and EVonly aggregators all operate here. You can design, prototype, test, and scale an entire EV platform without ever leaving the city. The city's charging network has grown just as quickly as EV adoption. Today, it is normal to find charging points at tech parks, apartment basements, cafés, gyms, and malls. This network exists thanks to early pushes like Bescom's grid expansion, combined with the efforts of OEMs and charge point operators who have connected every corner of the city. The same software, IoT, and clean energy talent that shaped our internet boom now solves practical charging, payment, and energy management challenges every day. For us, at Ather, Bengaluru has been home for more than a decade now. When we started out in 2013, the idea of building a premium electric scooter in India felt impossible. The supply chain was not ready. Charging networks did not exist. But in Bengaluru, we found people who would back such dreams. From investors, to customers, to cheerleaders. Our earliest customers were practically like co-builders for us. They showed up for test rides, gave feedback nobody asked for but everybody needed, forgave early bugs and pushed us to keep raising the bar. Some of my favourite moments are still the open-house sessions we held here. Announce one on a Friday, and by Saturday morning the room is full of people ready to share exactly what they love and what they want fixed. This mindset turned a risky bet into something real. Karnataka's early policy push helped, too. In 2017, the state became one of the first in India to roll out a clear and comprehensive EV and Energy Storage Policy. This policy laid out incentives for manufacturers, support for R&D, and for expanding the charging infrastructure that was almost non-existent at the time, while also giving end users the confidence and incentives to adopt EVs. By providing clarity and confidence to suppliers, startups and investors, Karnataka made it possible for an entire ecosystem to take shape here, long before the rest of the country fully caught on. It signalled that building and adopting EVs wasn't just an idea; it was a priority worth betting on. Today, Bengaluru is India's EV hub and the blueprint for where our next deep-tech breakthroughs will come from. Whether it's new battery chemistries, better grids or hardware we have not even imagined yet, the same fundamentals hold true: builders need the freedom to try, fail and try again; policymakers need to back that risk with clarity and intent; and early adopters need to show up, stay patient and shape the rough edges into something real. That's how this city moves first and keeps the rest of India moving forward. The writer is co-founder & CEO of Ather Energy

'I humorously quipped at the end of our conversation that I'll strive to meet his 70-hour-a-week target – to which he laughed and said, 'The only person I know who probably works 100 hours a week is Prime Minister Modi!''

His latest remark, this time during a two-hour flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru, adds a fresh layer to the discussion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Summer Clearance Sale Is Live Now Luxury Watches Buy Now Surya, who represents Bengaluru South, said the exchange happened during a wide-ranging conversation about topics such as artificial intelligence, manufacturing, urban development, youth upskilling, and leadership. He called the interaction 'deeply inspiring.' Murthy flies economy, carries luggage, avoids VIP lounge Along with the work-hour remark, Surya highlighted Murthy's travel choices, praising the Infosys co-founder for his humility. According to Surya, Murthy flew economy class on a low-cost domestic airline, carried his own luggage, used the public washroom, and stood in queue to collect his bags at Bengaluru airport. Live Events 'Not just that, he was on an economy seat,' Surya wrote. 'Carried his luggage himself though I offered to help many times. After the flight, went to the common washroom – not any VIP lounge – stood in queue to collect his baggage with all, rolled it out himself. Small actions. Big values.' Social media response Murthy's actions and Surya's posts gained traction after ANI editor Smita Prakash commented on Murthy choosing to fly commercial instead of using a private jet. Several users chimed in with similar observations. One user posted, 'He has been doing it himself since his first air journey, I guess. I too observed him and his actions when I travelled overseas two decades ago.' Another commented on cultural habits: 'This is common in western work culture. Even Trump can be seen with a carry-on bag at times. Only here do we carry on with the saheb culture, most prevalent in the Govt and political arena.' Murthy's lifestyle remains consistent Murthy, who co-founded Infosys in 1981 with six engineers, is widely respected for his simple lifestyle and views on discipline and ethics. Despite a net worth estimated at $5 billion, he is known to keep a low public profile and continues to be a reference point in debates around productivity and national development.
