To train around 400,000 school teachers in using artificial intelligence tools by 2030.The project, which kicked off with $10 million in support from OpenAI (including Rs 8 million in funding and Rs 2 million worth of tech resources), will focus on helping teachers learn, build, and lead in using AI in K–12 education.advertisementWHAT THE AI ACADEMY OFFERS TEACHERSThe academy will run workshops, provide online training, and help teachers create their own AI tools tailored to the classroom. Teachers will also get early access to OpenAI's education tools and support on how to bring AI into their schools the right way.
The first campus is coming up in New York City, with plans for regional hubs across the US. One in every ten US educators is expected to benefit from the programme.OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a statement, 'Educators make the difference, and they should lead this next shift with AI.

Instead of giving answers directly, this new tool encourages users to think and solve problems collaboratively.It could work like a group study session inside ChatGPT and might offer a real alternative to Google's LearnLM.The company hasn't announced a release date or whether it will be available for free users.- Ends

Good news for Mukesh Ambani, Isha Ambani, this company earns Rs 32710000000 as…, India's richest man says…

Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd (RRVL), the retail arm of Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries, reported a 28.3% year-on-year increase in profit after tax, reaching Rs 3,271 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. This growth was driven by strong revenue performance across all segments. In the same quarter last year, the company had posted a profit after tax of Rs 2,549 crore, as per Reliance Industries Ltd's (RIL) regulatory filing. Gross revenue for Q1 FY26 stood at Rs 84,171 crore, marking an 11.3% rise from Rs 75,615 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal. Reliance Retail's Revenue Reliance Retail's revenue from operations in the first quarter was at Rs 73,720 crore compared to Rs 66,260 crore in the year-ago period, up 11.3 per cent. All segments performed well, with market leading performance in grocery and fashion. Consumer electronics and devices were impacted because of early onset of monsoons, but recovery is underway, the company said. In the quarter, the retail business expanded its store network with 388 new store openings, taking the total store count to 19,592 with area under operation at 77.6 million sq. ft. 'The registered customer base grew to 358 million, making Reliance Retail one of the most preferred retailers in the country,' it said, adding that JioMart continued to expand quick hyper-local deliveries registering 68 per cent Q-o-Q growth and 175 per cent Y-o-Y growth of daily orders. Mukesh Ambani, Isha Ambani On Reliance Retail Performance 'Retail's business … customer base expanded to 358 million, along with significant improvement across operating metrics.

Our continued investments in cutting-edge technologies and differentiated product offerings have enabled us to serve our customers better and scale with agility.' In the consumer electronics segment, Reliance Retail said the business achieved steady growth, driven by an average bill value growth, up 26 per cent. However, AC sales were impacted due to early onset of monsoon. JioMart Digital business delivered strong growth, led by expansion of its brand portfolio and merchant partner base. The acquisition of Kelvinator brand IP for India will strengthen its own brands play across categories in consumer durables, it added. (With Inputs From PTI)

Sensex tanks 501 pts, Nifty closes below 25k on selling in bank stocks, foreign fund outflows

The 50-share NSE Nifty dropped 143.05 points or 0.57 per cent to close at a month's low of 24,968.40. Falling for the second straight day, the 30-share BSE Sensex declined by 501.51 points or 0.61 per cent to settle at 81,757.73. During the day, it shed 651.11 points or 0.79 per cent to hit a low of 81,608.13. Mumbai, Jul 18 (PTI) Benchmark Sensex tanked 501 points while Nifty closed below the 25,000 mark on Friday due to selling in banking shares after muted quarterly earnings and foreign fund outflows. Analysts said investors turned cautious over banking stocks in response to Axis Bank's latest financial results, which fell short of market expectations. Among Sensex firms, Axis Bank tumbled the most by 5.24 per cent after it reported a 3 per cent dip in its June quarter consolidated net profit at Rs 6,243.72 crore, impacted by the implementation of changes in non-performing assets and loan upgrade policy. Devarsh Vakil, Head of Prime Research, HDFC Securities, said Axis Bank's latest financial results fell short of market expectations. 'Notably, Axis Bank's GDR tumbled 4.8 per cent to USD 64.30 on Thursday, following a deterioration in the bank's asset quality during the June quarter,' he said. Among blue-chip bank stocks, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and State Bank of India ended lower. Following the decline in bank stocks, the BSE Bankex ended 1.33 per cent lower at 62,741.65. Bharat Electronics, Bharti Airtel, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Titan and Eternal were also among the laggards from the Sensex pack. However, Bajaj Finance, Tata Steel, ICICI Bank, HCL Tech and Infosys were among the gainers. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 3,694.31 crore on Thursday, according to exchange data. 'A broad-based sell-off was observed amidst a disappointing initial set of earnings from the finance and IT sectors. Elevated valuations in large-cap stocks, coupled with significant net short positions held by FIIs, have contributed to a cautious sentiment among investors,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. 'Additional tariff threats are also casting a shadow on India over its trade relationship with Russia. Despite these pressures, the medium-to-long-term outlook for India remains optimistic, supported by low inflation levels and proactive monetary authority committed to sustaining economic growth,' Nair added. The BSE smallcap gauge declined 0.64 per cent and midcap index dipped 0.62 per cent. Among BSE sectoral indices, capital goods dropped 1.50 per cent, followed by bankex (1.33 per cent), industrials (1.08 per cent), telecommunication (0.99 per cent), power (0.90 per cent) and consumer durables (0.90 per cent). Metal, services and BSE Focused IT ended higher. On the weekly front, the BSE benchmark tumbled 742.74 points or 0.90 per cent, and the Nifty declined by 181.45 points or 0.72 per cent. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi and Japan's Nikkei 225 index settled lower, while Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng ended in positive territory. European markets were trading with gains. The US markets ended higher on Thursday. Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.92 per cent to USD 70.16 a barrel. On Thursday, the Sensex dropped 375.24 points or 0.45 per cent to settle at 82,259.24. The Nifty ended lower by 100.60 points or 0.40 per cent to 25,111.45.
