IIT-M and Hyundai's innovation centre seeks to cut production cost of hydrogen fuel
The Hyundai HTWO Innovation Centre, a research and development hub, will seek to develop indigenous technologies to be able to produce and use hydrogen as a green fuel. Once fully functional in two years, the centre will be able to generate hydrogen from biomass and through electrolysis method to be used as green fuel for various uses such as transportation vehicles. The centre is a result of a collaboration between Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M), and Guidance Tamil Nadu, the State government's nodal agency for investment promotion. Coming up in an area of 65,000 on the IIT-M Discovery Campus in Thaiyur, the innovation centre, being built at a cost of ₹180 crore, is said to be one of the first industry-institute-government collaborative ventures in the field of clean energy in the country. HMIL has pledged ₹100 crore for the project. The design for the centre was unveiled on Tuesday by T.R.B. Rajaa, Minister for Industries, Investment Promotion, and Commerce. He said the venture would seek to reduce the cost of production of hydrogen fuel with the Tamil Nadu government's intervention. He said the government would be able to ensure biomass availability from municipal waste and could tap into the tooling capacity available with the students of the Tamil Nadu Centre of Excellence for Advanced Manufacturing (TANCAM) and the Tamil Nadu Smart and Advanced Manufacturing Centre (TNSAM). Mr. Rajaa said the State government was also in the process of setting up a hydrogen cluster in Thoothukudi, where hydrogen molecules would be produced and shipped out to Singapore through the V.O. Chidambaranar Port for use by Japanese shipping agencies. The port was being 'enabled' for this operation, he added. V. Kamakoti, Director, IIT-M, said the target for the centre should be to demonstrate in two to three years that a hydrogen-fuelled car would be able to drive from Chennai to Kanniyakumari with refuelling facilities along the way. The centre plans to collaborate with micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) to develop low-cost and efficient technology, and set up hydrogen refuelling plants in various parts of the State. Mr. Kamakoti said the generation of hydrogen from biomass will come as a possible mode of income generation for farmers. At present, hydrogen fuel costs $5 per kg and could fuel a vehicle for 20 km to 25 km. The innovation centre seeks to bring the cost down to $2 per kg. The way forward, Mr. Kamakoti said, would be to set up decentralised hydrogen hubs at sites close to the source of renewable energy required to run the plants. Unsoo Kim, Managing Director, HMIL, said the focus of the collaboration was to promote localisation of the entire value chain and build a robust and inclusive hydrogen economy, which supports India's clean energy ambitions. Ashish Lele, director, CSIR National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, Gopalakrishnan C.S., whole-time director and chief manufacturing officer, HMIL, Ashwin Mahalingam, dean (alumni and corporate relations), IIT-M, and Aravind Kumar Chandiran, principal project investigator and associate professor, chemical engineering, IIT-M, spoke.

IITian founder's viral reply to engineer who bailed for better offer: ‘Reasons seem a bit off'
The co-founder of Fuze Finance has revealed his reply to a candidate who accepted a job at his startup, only to back out a couple of days before he was supposed to join. Srijan R Shetty, the IIT-educated co-founder of the fintech company, shared a screenshot of his email to the employee who bailed for a better offer. A co-founder shares his reply to a candidate who backed out days before he was supposed to join (Representational image) His response has been going steadily viral on X, where it has sparked a discussion on workplace etiquette and the ethicality of job hunting after accepting an offer. Engineer backs out before date of joining 'One of the engineers who was due to join today sent a message over the weekend that they won't join,' Shetty wrote in his X post on Monday. The Dubai-based entrepreneur acknowledged that he felt a 'bit let down' by the engineer's decision. 'I sent them across the following message,' he said, sharing a screenshot of the email he sent to the candidate. In his email, the co-founder of Fuze Finance began by acknowledging the reasons presented by the engineer for not going ahead with the job offer. The engineer apparently said that he had received a 'better offer' from a different company, and that he could not confirm his date of joining due to 'personal reasons' – due to which he was backing out. What the co-founder said in his email Shetty began by assuring the engineer that his workplace is a flexible one, and that they could have come up with a solution if he had chosen to approach them rather than refusing to join outright. He then told the engineer that the reasons he provided for backing out seemed 'a bit off'. 'The two reasons you provided seem a bit off. You're free to shop for offers in the market - it's a free market after all. But you could have come back to us and we would have been happy to have a chat about the new offer that you have,' wrote Shetty. The co-founder acknowledged that the job-seeker had the right to shop for better offers. However, he pointed out that his startup would have been open to negotiations. 'I believe that life is a positive sum game, and that's how we treat everyone at Fuze. A lot of my folks at Fuze have worked with us over the years in different startups and we have ensured that we do what's best for them, even if it means joining another company with a much better offer,' said the IITian. He ended his email with a rebuke, informing the engineer that bailing reflected poorly on him. 'The action of rejecting an offer a day before joining reflects very poorly on the person partaking in the action. I hope you do not do the same with any other company and choose to prefer open communication instead,' wrote Shetty. Social media weighs in The post sparked a discussion on X, where many viewers sided with the engineer. 'You're the top 0.0001% that would've done what you mentioned,' wrote one X user. 'In most places this dude would have instantly lost this offer to someone else had he shared he was exploring for other offers.' 'I understand and kind of agree to what you proposed, but as a candidate it's pretty difficult to do open conversation,' another X user named Sanket Jha said. 'I think everyone that's arguing againt this is missing a critical piece of information. As far as I understand this person accepted your offer and decided to bail one day before. Everyone shops for offers. That is perfectly fine to do. But if this was me once I've agreed to an offer there's no way I'm shopping around for an alternate offer,' an X user named Abbas countered.
