IIT Indore making 'smart glass' to keep buildings cool in summer and warm in winter
INDORE: A ' smart glass ' being developed at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore with the help of a special porous organic polymer can help in constructing eco-friendly buildings by changing the way windows are used, officials said on Tuesday. The key material behind this technology is a newly developed viologen-based porous organic polymer (POP), they said. The project focuses on creating an electronic curtain glass that can control how much light and heat pass through it by simply applying a small electric current, the officials said. "What makes the smart glass special is its quick response to electricity. It can change colour and transparency which allows it to block sunlight and heat when needed, or let it in when it's cooler outside. This smart adjustment helps save energy by reducing the need for air-conditioning or artificial lighting," an official from the institute said. "The use of viologen-based polymers allows for quick and reliable colour change, which can significantly impact how we design energy-efficient buildings. In the future, these smart electrochromic windows could become common in smart homes and eco-friendly buildings, helping to lower electricity bills and reduce the impact on the environment," the official said. The researchers are working closely with industry partners to make sure the glass can be produced using current factory setups, as per the officials. Under the guidance of Prof Suman Mukhopadhyay from the Department of Chemistry and Prof Rajesh Kumar from the Department of Physics, this innovative work is being carried out under the Translational Research Fellowship (TRF) scheme by researcher Dr Sayantan Sarkar from the Department of Chemistry, they said.

7 IITians Behind the Most Disruptive Startups of the Decade
The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have long been recognized for nurturing some of the brightest minds in the world. These institutions don't just produce engineers, they nurture problem solvers, critical thinkers, and leaders with a strong sense of purpose. An IIT education blends academic rigor with real-world application, equipping students to make meaningful contributions across industries. Over the years, IIT alumni have made their mark far beyond borders of India, leading companies, launching startups, influencing policy, advancing science, and even making waves in creative fields. Their journeys highlight the depth and diversity of talent that IITs continue to produce. More than just degrees, IITs instill a mindset to challenge, innovate, and leave a lasting impact on the world. Here's a list of 7 IITians from different sectors who ventured into diverse fields such as business, AI, foodtech, global tech and more leaving an indelible mark on the global landscape. 1. Deepinder Goyal (IIT Delhi) Founder and CEO, Zomato: Deepinder Goyal revolutionized online food delivery in India. His vision transformed a restaurant directory into a leading food tech giant, significantly impacting how millions discover and order food, and expanding Zomato's global footprint. The idea for Zomato originated from his realization about the daily struggle to find restaurant menus while working at Bain & Company, leading him to create Foodiebay. 2. Nandan Nilekani - IIT Bombay - Co-founder, Infosys Nandan Nilekani has truly been a pivotal figure in putting India's software industry on the global stage. He's widely recognized as an exceptional strategist, a brilliant analytical thinker, and an extraordinary communicator, qualities that have clearly driven his remarkable success. He has also served as the Chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), playing a pivotal role in implementing India's biometric identity program, Aadhaar. 3. Mehul Goyal – IIT Bombay - Co-founder, BoldCharter An IIT Bombay alumnus and former Partner at AlphaGrep Securities, Mehul is building deep learning-based financial systems that are 10x more efficient and adaptive than traditional algorithmic trading models.
