The headlines of the day by The Indian Express

In today’s Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we unpack the biggest stories from India’s startup and tech world. ChrysCapital closes a record $2.2 billion fund, while MoEngage secures $100 million to scale its AI marketing agents, Zepto’s meat business head exits amid leadership churn, and NVIDIA and Qualcomm Ventures back India’s Deep Tech Alliance.

Why do governments, even with the best minds and the noblest intentions, so often get it wrong? Taking the route to Whitehall, Vanshika Saraf and Maria Ann Philip discuss the book The Blunders of Our Governments by Anthony King and Ivor Crewe, an enriching study of Britain’s political missteps. Reflecting on detailed examples by the authors, they probe why civic and institutional cultures lead to policy blunders, even in advanced democracies.

For much of India’s democratic history, the woman voter has either been invisible or ignored – at times she has been spoken for, but very rarely listened to. A new book by the journalist Ruhi Tewari argues that this is no longer the case and seeks to understand why women have emerged from the political shadows.What Women Want: Understanding the Female Voter in Modern India draws on years of journalism and field reportage to trace the rise of the woman voter from 1947 to the present day.Ruhi is a journalist with nearly two decades of experience covering politics, policy and their intersection for leading Indian media organizations. She’s developed a reputation for being a savvy political reporter who spends quality time in the field understanding what makes voters, politicians, and parties tick. Ruhi joins Milan on the show this to talk more about her new book. They discuss the “subtle but steady shift” in how women voters are perceived, the narrowing gender gap in voter turnout, and the distinctive voter behavior of India’s women. Plus, Ruhi and Milan discuss the proliferation of “pro-women” welfare schemes and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s unique ability to connect with the woman voter.Watch this episode on YouTube here.Episode notes:1.

In this episode, Cyrus sits down with Hisham Mundol — sustainability expert, corporate leader turned environmental crusader — to talk about India’s biggest challenge: how to grow economically without wrecking the planet.From his early days working across continents to his stint at Hindustan Lever and WorldTel, Hisham shares how a “midlife crisis” led him into the climate and sustainability movement. The conversation dives into real-world climate issues — air pollution, EVs, renewable energy, and even why Indore’s biogas plant gives him hope.With Cyrus’s trademark humour, they break down big ideas into relatable bits — from why Delhi’s air gets trapped like soup in a bowl, to whether electric cars are truly sustainable, and how small individual actions can actually add up when governments and companies pull their weight too.This one’s an insightful, funny, and surprisingly hopeful chat about climate, culture, and common sense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A few months ago, the world witnessed a historic breakthrough in Earth observation technology with the successful launch of the NISAR satellite, a landmark joint mission by NASA and ISRO. More than just another step forward in space exploration, NISAR marks the beginning of a new era of global cooperation and a deeper understanding of our planet. Since entering orbit, the satellite has started transmitting remarkable radar images of Earth, capturing fine details of geological activity, vegetation shifts, and even the effects of human actions on the environment.
