IIT Bombay launches professional certificate programs in cybersecurity and software development
"We are bridging the critical skill gap our country faces through rigorous, accessible, and highly hands-on learning," said Kameswari Chebrolu, Lead Faculty for the programmes. The participants of this programme will be able to complete three structured courses delivered by IIT Bombay faculty.
IIT Bombay claims that India's cybersecurity market is expected to surpass USD 10 billion by 2025, and software development is powering innovation across sectors. These programmes prepare learners for roles, such as Full-Stack Developer, Security Analyst, Security Architect, DevSecOps Engineer, and more. The applications for both the programme are now open and the course is expected to start by September 1, 2025.

Non-discrimination rules will ensure Indian firms are treated fairly when providing services to the UK, with comprehensive transparency commitments guaranteeing that UK rules for authorizing Indian financial services firms remain fair, transparent, and objectively administered, the official said. Live Events Commitments in this sector are expected to translate into gains for electronic payments, FinTech, financial diversity, stability, and market integration, the official added. For digitally delivered financial services, UK has provided market access with respect to the various subsectors under both insurance and insurance related, and banking and other financial services. With regard to insurance sector, the agreement is expected to enable non-life insurance services and insurance intermediation (maritime shipping and goods in international transit), reinsurance and retrocession, and services auxiliary to insurance to expand their operation in India. The pact provides commitment with respect to sectors like provision and transfer of financial information, and financial data processing and related software by suppliers of other financial services.

IIT-Guwahati researchers develop bamboo-based composite for greener automobile interiors
NEW DELHI: Offering a practical, eco-friendly substitute for plastic components in cars, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati have developed a bamboo-based composite that can be used in dashboards, seat backs, and door panels, combining high mechanical strength with low environmental impact. These composites can even replace plastic or wood parts in electronics, furniture, and building materials The material, made using Bambusa tulda, a fast-growing bamboo species from Northeast India, is reinforced with biodegradable polymers and has demonstrated strong performance in terms of thermal stability, tensile strength, and moisture resistance, key requirements for automotive interiors. The research, led by Poonam Kumari, professor in the department of mechanical engineering, addresses the growing need to reduce plastic waste and transition towards renewable materials in industrial applications. The team tested four bamboo-based formulations using both bio-based and conventional epoxies, evaluating them on 17 parameters including tensile strength, thermal resistance, water absorption, and production cost. To identify the most balanced formulation, the researchers applied a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method, which pointed to a bio-epoxy blend made with FormuLite as the most suitable option. This variant demonstrated high tensile strength (144.76 MPa), significant thermal stability (glass transition temperature of 111.72°C), and the lowest moisture absorption (4.49%). The cost was also competitive at Rs 4,300 per kilogram, making it suitable for components like dashboards, seat backs, and door panels. 'These composites can replace plastic or wood parts not just in automobiles but also in electronics, furniture, and building materials,' said Kumari. 'Their use aligns with India's Green Tech Revolution and Make in India goals, and supports several Sustainable Development Goals.' The team also performed a life-cycle assessment of the material, with plans to scale up production using industrial processes like resin transfer and compression moulding. The research has been published in Environment, Development and Sustainability (Springer Nature), with Kumari co-authoring the paper alongside her PhD students Abir Saha and Nikhil Dilip Kulkarni. The initiative builds on IIT-Guwahati's broader sustainability agenda, reflected in its high ranks in both the NIRF and global SDG-based rankings. With this development, the institute adds momentum to the use of indigenous materials in high-performance engineering applications.

IIT Guwahati creates bamboo-based material to replace plastic in vehicles
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati have created a high-performance composite material using local bamboo and biodegradable innovation addresses the need for sustainable alternatives to plastic, especially in the automotive new material, made from Bambusa tulda -- a fast-growing bamboo species native to Northeast India -- shows excellent strength, thermal stability, low water absorption, and It offers a green solution for manufacturing vehicle dashboards, seat backs, and door FOR PERFORMANCE AND SUSTAINABILITYLed by Dr Poonam Kumari from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the research explored four composite formulations by reinforcing bamboo fibres with petroleum-based and bio-based treatment of the fibres improved compatibility and durability, and the materials were tested across 17 performance team applied Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods to assess all samples. The top-performing variant combined bamboo fibres with a bio-based epoxy called composite offered the best balance of mechanical strength, thermal resistance, and minimal moisture ALTERNATIVE FOR MULTIPLE INDUSTRIESPriced at Rs 4300 per kilogram, the bamboo composite provides a viable, sustainable alternative to traditional materials used in industries such as furniture, electronics, packaging and, most notably, automotive manufacturing.'Developed composite can be used for designing components/parts in consumer electronics, automobiles, aerospace, sustainable building materials etc. The product will replace wood/iron/plastic components and will have similar cost and lead to fulfil SGD goals (7,8 and 9). This development is in line with Make in India policy under Green Tech Revolution,' said Dr bamboo-based composite developed by IIT Guwahati represents a significant leap towards sustainable material tapping into locally available resources and aligning with global sustainability goals, the institute is paving the way for environmentally responsible alternatives in STEPS FOR INDUSTRIAL SCALE-UPThe team is currently conducting a life cycle assessment to evaluate the environmental impact of the product from production to are also in place to adopt industrial techniques like compression modelling and resin transfer to enable mass further research and industrial collaboration, such innovations could soon become mainstream, reducing dependence on plastic and promoting a greener future for India and beyond.- Ends
