50 Indian rural innovators to attend Global Junicorn & AI Summit in US
Most of these young Junicorns—many stepping onto an airplane or leaving their home state for the first time—are now headed for a life-changing journey through four major cities in Texas: Dallas, Austin, San Marcos, and Houston. In a rare gesture of encouragement, the innovators were warmly received by Rao Munukutla, Executive Director & CEO, Bengaluru Airport City Limited (BACL)—a wholly owned subsidiary of Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL).
Special displays, celebratory visuals, and a joyful cake-cutting ceremony marked the occasion inside the airport terminal. Munukutla, said: 'These young minds are carrying India's spirit of innovation to the global stage. We are proud to support this transformative initiative. Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru is not just a hub for travel, but a launchpad for dreams.' The delegation will participate in two flagship summits—Global Junicorn and Global AI—
where their homegrown solutions will be showcased before international mentors, industry CXOs, and venture capitalists.
The students will also visit NASA's Space Center in Houston, the Texas Science Museum, and startup incubators and innovation centers in Dallas, San Marcos, and Austin. These experiences aim to broaden their global outlook and sharpen their entrepreneurial ideas.
Dr JA Chowdary, Founder Chairman of ISF and Former IT Advisor to the Government of Andhra Pradesh, is already in the US preparing a strong ecosystem of mentors, CXOs, and investors who will guide and empower these budding
changemakers.
Accompanying the delegation is Dr Siva Mahesh Tangutooru, Co-founder of ISF, who is leading this expedition with deep commitment and vision.
Dr Siva Mahesh Tangutooru said: 'This is more than a journey—it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that transforms lives. These students represent untapped brilliance, and our mission is to give them the platform, exposure, and belief they need to build the future. What begins here will echo back in their communities as real-world change.'

Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend four shares to buy today — 4 July 2025
Stocks to buy under ₹ 100: Following weak global cues after Trump's tariff bombshell on Thursday night, the Indian stock market ended lower on Friday. The Nifty 50 index finished southward for the fifth successive week, its prolonged losing streak since the week ending August 25, 2023. This selling was across segments, as the BSE Sensex and the Bank Nifty index witnessed selling pressure in the previous week, while the small-cap and mid-cap indices ended more than 2% lower last week. Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The underlying trend of the Nifty 50 index remains weak. A decisive move below the support of 24,500 could cause the index to slide down towards the next lower area of 24,100-24,000 levels in the near term. Immediate resistance for Nifty is placed at 24,950 levels." "The Bank Nifty index once again slipped from the important 50-DEMA zone at the 56,100 level, with bias weakening to close near the 55,600 zone, and is precariously placed as of now, with a major support level at risk, which can further weaken the overall trend. For the bias to improve, the index would need to sustain the important 55,400 zone and, on the upside, would need to move past the 56,400 zone decisively and thereafter, anticipate further upward move," said Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher. Regarding stocks to buy today, market experts Mehul Kothari, Deputy Vice President — Technical Research at Anand Rathi; Sugandha Sachdeva, Founder of SS WealthStreet; and Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment, recommended these four intraday stocks for today under ₹ 100: IDFC First Bank, UCO Bank, Lloyds Engineering Works, and Shriram Properties. 1] IDFC First Bank: Buy at ₹ 67 to ₹ 68, Target ₹ 75, Stop Loss ₹ 64; and 2] UCO Bank: Buy at ₹ 28 to ₹ 29, Target ₹ 34, Stop Loss ₹ 26. 3] Lloyds Engineering Works: Buy at ₹ 68.40, Targets ₹ 71, ₹ 72.50, Stop Loss ₹ 66.80. 4] Shriram Properties: Buy at ₹ 92.50, Target ₹ 98, Stop Loss ₹ 90.

'Not Acceptable': Trump Aide Slams India Over Russian Oil Imports, Accuses New Delhi Of Funding Ukraine War
Days after imposing a 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, a senior aide to US President Donald Trump criticised India for continuing to buy Russian oil and accused it of indirectly financing Russia's war in Ukraine. Trump's deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, a key advisor to Donald Trump, stated that the former president firmly believes India must halt its purchase of Russian oil. 'What he (Trump) made absolutely clear is that it is not acceptable for India to keep financing this war by buying oil from Russia,' Miller said on Sunday Morning Futures. On Fox News, Miller said, "People will be shocked to learn that India is basically tied with China in purchasing Russian oil. That's an astonishing fact." Meanwhile, India has not yet responded to the matter.
