<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:25px"><em>Kaustubh Dhavse, Chief Advisor to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Shares His Views</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>PUNE:</strong> Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have made a significant contribution to Maharashtra’s economic development. Small industries form the backbone of the economy, and large-scale projects cannot be completed without their support, said Kaustubh Dhavse, Chief Advisor to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Friday.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The remarks were made during a program organized by Laghu Udyog Bharati Maharashtra on the topic, “<em>The Role of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in Maharashtra’s Goal of Becoming a One-Trillion-Dollar Economy</em>.” During this program, <strong>Amit Ghaisas, President of Laghu Udyog Bharati Maharashtra</strong>, had a dialogue with Kaustubh Dhavse in front of the members of Laghu Udyog Bharati from various parts of the state who were present on the occasion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The program took place at Hotel Sheraton Grand, and more than 70 MSME industry owners from cities like Pune, Satara, Sangli, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Chhtrapati Sambhaji Nagar attended the program.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking at the event, Dhavse stated that MSMEs are among the most important and active contributors to the state’s economic growth. Maharashtra’s pace of economic progress is accelerating, and the government is committed to supporting MSMEs. This support will undoubtedly help Maharashtra maintain its leadership position among Indian states.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He noted that substantial work is currently underway in sectors such as defence, steel, textiles, and information technology. Therefore, MSMEs need to understand and integrate themselves into these sectors’ supply chains. Entrepreneurs who study emerging trends and align their businesses with current market opportunities can derive significant benefits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He observed that industrial development in Maharashtra was previously concentrated largely in Mumbai, Pune, Navi Mumbai, and Thane, resulting in a bit of degree of regional imbalance. However, since the government led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis came to power, efforts have been made to address this imbalance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He highlighted that regions such as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Jalna, and Nagpur are witnessing considerable industrial growth. Gadchiroli, once known primarily as a Naxal-affected district, is transforming with the development of a steel industry.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Samruddhi Mahamarg (Expressway) is providing substantial benefits to industries in these regions. It is helping create a strong industrial ecosystem and facilitating the emergence of industrial clusters across the state, which will contribute significantly to industrial expansion and economic growth. Dhavse also mentioned that the government is developing a dedicated cluster for Japanese companies in Supa, near Pune.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He emphasized the need to reduce interest rates charged on loans extended to MSMEs. The government intends to encourage and support these enterprises and will make every effort to provide the assistance required for their growth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He further noted that business trends are changing rapidly, making it essential for every entrepreneur to adopt and utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in their operations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the interaction, members highlighted the various challenges faced by MSMEs and demanded the creation of a separate ministry dedicated to the sector within the state government. Nachiket Phadke was the anchor for this program.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>PUNE:</strong> Accelerating India&#8217;s trajectory toward Viksit Bharat 2047, the Pune Chapter of the Hindu Economic Forum (HEF) successfully concluded its high-profile Shakti Summit 2026 at the Pune International Centre. The summit represented an operational launchpad for Bharat’s Strategic Power Framework: Strategic Defence &amp; Aerospace, Hindu Temple Economy, Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge &amp; Media, Technology, and Infrastructure. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Summit delivered extensively on its multipronged objective: anchoring indigenous Artificial Intelligence, unlocking domestic venture capital, and reinforcing strategic self-reliance (Atmanirbharta) across critical defence and economic ecosystems</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Shri Jishnu Dev Varma, Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra, graced the event as the Chief Guest</strong>, delivering the special address. He underlined the importance of stronger collaboration between government, industry, investors, and knowledge institutions in sectors central to India’s long-term growth and strategic self-reliance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Gaurav Tripathi, President, HEF Pune District Chapter, and Co-founder &amp; CTO, Partex.AI</strong> said, “<em>The SHAKTI Summit 2026 marks a paradigm shift in how we approach economic growth. We are now building an execution-first ecosystem where serious capital, strategic industrial sectors, and civilizational clarity converge.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>The Pune AI Grid is positioning Pune as the Applied AI and Strategic Capital of Bharat by redoubling its manufacturing and digital prowess. By aligning our deep research talent, robust industrial shopfloors, and foundational infrastructure, we are turning national priorities like Atmanirbhar Bharat into measurable economic milestones</em>.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The $500 Million Pune AI Vision:</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Partex.AI presented a comprehensive roadmap to establish Pune as the global capital of applied AI: from a $50 million foundation phase with distributed GPU clusters and an AI Model Foundry, scaling to a $500 million platform aimed at training 100,000 professionals and developing exportable solutions for defence, manufacturing, and healthcare.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Dr. Gunjan Bharadwaj, Founder &amp; CEO, Partex.AI</strong>, stated: “<em>The Pune AI Vision is an opportunity to leverage exploratory and exploitative innovation on a scale that few cities globally can match. By unifying Pune’s unique constellation of talent, we can build decision-making technology that transforms not just Indian industry, but the world. Partex is committed to being a partner in this vision, bringing our expertise in AI-driven platforms to accelerate innovation across defence, manufacturing, and life sciences</em>.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>India’s First Indigenous Autonomous Surface Vehicle on Display for the First Time:</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Accurate Industrial Controls displayed ISACA, India’s first indigenously developed Autonomous Surface Vessel. Validated through Indian Navy-evaluated trials, ISACA combines AI, sensor fusion, and indigenous collision-avoidance software, marking a major milestone in India’s maritime autonomy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Shri Kiran Jadhav, Chairman &amp; Managing Director, Accurate Group</strong>, said: “<em>Indigenous autonomous vessel technology is a statement of India’s capability and our resolve for Atmanirbharta. At the SHAKTI Summit, we created the conditions for transformative solutions that will serve our nation’s defence and maritime strength</em>.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Strategic Discussions on critical sectors: formed a highlight of the summit, covering defence, aerospace, rare earths, infrastructure, technology, temple economy, AI, startups &#8211; by a diverse selection of industry leaders, founders, and experts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To ensure these strategic conversations yield tangible results, the HEF Pune District Chapter announced the formation of a Defence Working Group, reinforcing their commitment to structured, post-summit follow-through.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:24px"><em><strong>A national platform designed to identify and support high-potential youth from disadvantaged backgrounds across STEM, innovation, arts, and defence</strong></em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>MUMBAI:</strong> The Godrej Foundation, an independent philanthropic trust, today announced the launch of <em>Tomorrow Makers</em>, a national platform designed to identify and support high-potential students from disadvantaged backgrounds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tomorrow Makers is built on the belief that while talent is widely distributed across India, access to opportunity is not. The platform will identify high-potential students – from Classes 6-12 as well as graduates – and connect them to organisations, educators, mentors, competitions, and peer communities that can help them realise their potential. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through programmes run by eight partner organisations, Tomorrow Makers offers four different pathways – STEM, Invention and Making, Arts and Defence –for high-potential students from different age groups.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Omar Momin, Chief Executive Officer, Godrej Foundation,</strong> said, <em>“India is home to one of the world’s largest school-going populations, yet access to structured mentorship, advanced learning opportunities, and talent acceleration ecosystems remains uneven, particularly for students from underserved communities. Through Tomorrow Makers, we aim to help bridge this gap by building pathways that identify and nurture high-potential young people from across regions and socio-economic backgrounds. Through this platform, we hope to build a pipeline of future innovators, researchers, artists, entrepreneurs, soldiers, and public leaders whose success can create multiplier effects by transforming families, strengthening communities, and contributing to India’s long-term leadership and progress.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For those in Class 10-12 with a strong aptitude in science and mathematics, and who aspire to careers in engineering, medicine or technology, Tomorrow Makers has partnered with organisations Dakshana and Avanti Fellows, who provide free coaching for JEE and NEET preparation.  For younger students in Class 6-7, organisations like Genwise and MakerGhat offer summer camps and workshops for advanced learning in robotics, computing, and higher mathematics, as well as opportunities to compete in national and global robotics competitions. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the arts pathway, Tomorrow Makers has partnered with Slam Out Loud, which provides mentorship, skill development, and performance opportunities for children with an aptitude for music, drama, writing, and other forms of creative expression. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Commenting on the launch, <strong>Jigyasa Labroo, founder of Slam Out Loud</strong>, said, “<em>When we think of who the cultural curators of India are, we don&#8217;t think of what most of our country looks and lives like. There is no dearth of artistic talent in India, but the arts &#8211; particularly performing arts – are not an easy field to establish oneself or build a career in. Through our partnership with Tomorrow Makers, we have created a programme for gifted young artists from less privileged backgrounds across India to get the right kind of training, mentorship, and exposure. We&#8217;re excited to build the next generation of creative leaders and have their voices represent our country&#8217;s stories!</em>&#8220;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For graduates, Tomorrow Makers supports two pathways: professional theatre training through Drama School Mumbai, and defence exam preparation through Delta Squad Foundation and Yuvatejas. Need-based scholarships are available for eligible candidates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Students across India can apply through the website or WhatsApp bot and undergo assessments to identify potential in sciences, invention, arts, and endurance. Successful candidates will be placed in specialised programmes run by Godrej Foundation’s non-profit partners. Tomorrow Makers is part of the Godrej Foundation’s broader mission to promote economic growth, inclusion, innovation, and talent development in India</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>PUNE: </strong>The SAP Media successfully hosted Pune’s First Creator’s Fest at Penthouze, Pune, bringing together 100+ creators, entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders to celebrate India’s rapidly growing creator economy.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NEW DELHI:</strong> The stage is set and the spotlight is on India’s next generation of skill champions as registrations begin for the IndiaSkills Competition (ISC) 2025, the country’s premier platform to celebrate excellence in vocational training and skill development. The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Government of India, today opened the registration link for ISC 2025. The competition will feature 63 skills for which participants from all 36 states and UTs will compete. Registrations can be completed online via the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH) portal. The last date to complete the registration is 30 September 2025.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This biennial competition is designed to identify, nurture, and reward India’s most talented youth, preparing them to represent the nation on international stages such as the WorldSkills Competition (WSC) 2026, which is the largest international skills competition for young professionals in the world, showcasing the skill and expertise of young people in more than 60+ Skills. The competition aims to inspire young people to pursue careers in vocational education and to recognize the importance of skilled work in today&#8217;s economy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The competition is open to all Indian nationals, with participants required to meet specific age criteria. The minimum age is 16 years, and the maximum age limit is 25 years. In general, participants must be born on or after 1 January 2004. For certain advanced technology skills, such as Cyber Security, Mechatronics, Aircraft Maintenance, among others, participants must be born on or after 1 January 2001.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">IndiaSkills 2025 follows a structured, multi-tiered selection process. Each participant can apply for only one skill. The competition unfolds across two primary tracks. Track I involves State-level competitions conducted by State Skill Development Missions (SSDMs), while Track II is led by Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) for skills not opted by the states/UTs. Both tracks will feed into Regional Skill Competitions (RSCs), followed by boot camps and the final national competition. The competition includes both individual and team-based skills, closely aligned with the categories identified by WorldSkills International.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regional competitions will be hosted across five zones— North, South, East, West, and Northeast—while the final IndiaSkills National Competition will be organized centrally by MSDE. Winners of the national competition will receive extensive training and mentorship to represent India at the WorldSkills Competition 2026 and other international forums.</p>

<li><em>GTT Data’s initiative will empower over 100 companies that bring expertise in technologies such as Advanced AI Applications, AI Infrastructure, and Intelligent Automation.</em></li>



<li><em>These chosen startups will receive market access and business mentorship, with potential opportunities for funding from Sangli Miraj Commercial Ventures.</em></li>



<li><em>This initiative also boosts GTT Data’s Dual Intelligence framework, integrating cutting-edge innovations from India&#8217;s AI startups to accelerate digital transformation.</em></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>PUNE: </strong>GTT Data Solutions, a BSE-listed firm and leading technology enabler known for its proprietary Dual Intelligence solutions combining specialised human expertise and advanced AI-driven technology, has announced the launch of GAIN (GTT Data AI Accelerator Network) — a strategic initiative that is at the core of GTT Data’s growth strategy. With a mission to stay at the forefront of technology and accelerate digital transformation, GAIN is an ecosystem-building platform designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and funding support for emerging AI businesses in India. GAIN is GTT Data’s flagship effort to empower a new generation of AI companies that prioritise human impact while solving real-world challenges.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">GTT Data envisions GAIN as a collaborative platform for potential funding support, mentorship, and business advisory services, as well as go-to-market enablement through joint offerings and strategic partnerships across various industries and verticals, including technology services, healthcare, engineering, pharmaceuticals, retail, legal, and real estate. These startups bring cutting-edge solutions across trending niche technologies, including: Intelligent Automation (encompassing Cognitive Process Automation and advanced Natural Language Processing), Advanced Healthcare AI (including AI-powered medical imaging), and Vision AI (covering AI for DLOps and visual data processing). Over the next six months, more than 100 startups are expected to benefit from the GAIN initiative, which may include potential investments from Sangli Miraj Commercial Ventures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“We have never had an AI-first approach at GTT Data; we truly believe in the collaboration between human entities and AI to create dual intelligence. With GAIN, we’re creating a launchpad for India’s AI businesses not just to survive, but to lead with purpose. We believe the future of AI must be shaped by partnerships, not silos. And its impact must be measured not just in productivity gains, but in how it uplifts human potential. GAIN is our commitment to making India a formidable, collaborative force in the global AI movement — where machines serve mankind, and not the other way around,”</em> said<strong> Srikumar Kumar, President, GTT Data Solutions.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The initiative’s formal rollout commenced in Pune, where 22 AI companies and 45 founders, co‑founders, and key leaders deeply entrenched in technology innovation presented their innovations, shared their vision, and explored strategic collaborations. The congregation of over 40 founders, co-founders, and senior technologists was led by GTT Data’s leadership team, reinforcing the company’s commitment to fostering industry-wide transformation. These companies also received mentorship from GTT Data&#8217;s experts, showcasing both the rising interest in AI and GTT Data&#8217;s active commitment to nurturing emerging technologies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Sarang Kamalakar, Founder, Parentheses and Humac</strong>, said: <em>“GAIN &#8211; by GTT Data is a congregation of the AI community. It is a unique convergence of technologists sharing emerging technology. AI startups collaborate with leaders in Digital Transformation aka GTT Data. Mentoring, collaboration,</em> and shared passion bring the alike together here. GTT DATA is driving &#8220;cumulative success” with a vision of enhancing Indian Tech.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Amit Ananpara, Founder, Innoplexus</strong>, added: <em>“GAIN by GTT data was a remarkable showcase of cutting-edge AI innovation where companies demonstrated how AI advancements are driving real business value across diverse use cases. The event delivered invaluable insights into breakthrough technologies, highlighting the collaborative spirit and transformative impact of AI across industries.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rajesh Purshotam, Founder, Transcend Discoveries</strong>, shared: <em>“We proudly participated as a partner in GAIN’25</em>, the GTT Data AI Accelerator Network’s flagship event held at Novotel, Viman Nagar, Pune. The event brought together leading minds in data science, AI, consulting, and emerging technologies to explore the future of data intelligence and collaborative innovation,<em> and we at Transcend found that we can navigate into the landscape with collaboration as a key lever to pivot to the next level.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite being the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, India continues to face challenges around startup survival and scalability. India’s AI startup landscape is expanding rapidly, with over 4,500 ventures, 40% of which have emerged in just the last three years. Yet, industry data paints a sobering picture: nearly 90% of startups don’t make it, and 7 out of 10 shut down within a decade. GAIN addresses this by nurturing collaboration over competition, encouraging adjacent businesses to join forces, and helping AI entrepreneurs move beyond isolated, linear growth paths.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">GTT DATA invites all stakeholders passionate about India’s AI-led future to be part of this landmark moment, where human-centred technology meets opportunity, and collaboration becomes the catalyst for national progress.</p>
