India allocates additional ₹10,000 crore to support deep tech sector
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said the government has provided an additional Rs 10,000 crore as part of the Fund of Funds scheme to further support and promote deep tech research and startups. 'Having now committed the entire first tranche of Fund of Funds of Rs 10,000 crore in the last Budget, another Rs 10,000 crore has been provided,' Goyal said at an event organised by IIT Madras and the institute's alumni association in Bengaluru. 'This time around, it's largely going to support the deep tech ecosystem. We are just formulating the guidelines and the full money goes to promote innovation, absorption of newer technologies and the deployment of newer tech in contemporary fields,' he added. The government announced in its Budget in February of setting up such a fund to catalyse the next generation startups as a part of this initiative. There were also some concerns that the private sector's expenditure on research and development (R&D) remained low despite a lot of incentives provided. Goyal has repeatedly advocated Indian entrepreneurs to pivot from being the back office of the world to a leader in technology and innovation. His comments come at a time when India's Startup Policy Forum has launched #100DesiDeepTechs, a multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at identifying and supporting 100 leading deep-tech startups in India. Developed in collaboration with Startup India (DPIIT), MEITY Startup Hub, and IIT Madras, the programme seeks to strengthen policy dialogue and advance India's deep-tech ecosystem. The initiative is accepting applications from Indian deep-tech startups. Selected participants will join closed-door policy discussions with industry and government stakeholders, leading to a white paper with regulatory recommendations. Focus areas include semiconductors, defence, quantum tech, green hydrogen, space, drones, EVs, biotech, robotics, advanced manufacturing, and communications. A Mentor Board consisting of founders, investors, policymakers, and experts will advise the #100DesiDeepTechs cohort, providing strategic guidance and access to networks. A white paper will be released at 'Deeptech Baithak', a forum of founders, investors, and policymakers. The event will also mark the launch of SPF's Centre for deep-tech policy research, which will support ongoing policy efforts. The deep-tech sector saw a huge surge in funding in 2024, up 78 per cent to $1.6 billion, compared to a year earlier. This was fuelled by supportive government policies, rapid advancements in Gen AI and innovations from emerging companies, according to a report by Nassscom and Zinnov. Goyal explained that India was not hesitant to use new age technology. 'It helps us to climb the growth chart and buck the trend in a slowing global trade environment.'

AI helps couple achieve pregnancy after 18 years of failed IVF cycles: Fertility expert explains how tech can make this happen
After 20 years, a couple in the US is expecting to be parents as the woman has achieved pregnancy after a series of unsuccessful attempts of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), where the eggs and sperm are fertilised outside the body in a laboratory and the resulting embryo is transferred into the woman's uterus. That was because the man had very low sperm. And even the little that was there was hidden and undetectable by an embryologist. But now thanks to an artificial intelligence system, previously undetectable sperm can not only be identified but harvested for use. The STAR (Sperm Tracking and Recovery) system, developed at Columbia University Fertility Centre in New York, is expected to help men with azoospermia, a condition where no sperm is easily found in the semen. This technology is a breakthrough because it can harvest hidden semen, has a non-invasive extraction method and can offer an option to men battling fertility issues. This method costs under $3,000 (Rs 2.6 lakh). 'This is an example where technology multiplies human efforts. Even embryologists currently do the same thing. But now AI can assist them in identifying the sperm even better,' says Dr Anjali Malpani, IVF specialist and founder of Malpani Infertility Clinic. A typical semen sample usually has millions of sperm. But some men have really low counts, so much so that they can't be seen even after centrifugation (spinning the semen sample to concentrate the sperm) and hours of meticulous searching under a microscope. This is different from ejaculatory duct disorders, which prevent sperm from being ejaculated despite being produced in healthy numbers in the testes, usually due to a blockage. Then we use a needle to extract the healthy sperm. Azoospermia is diagnosed when no sperm can be found in at least two separate semen samples analyzed after centrifugation. So we study multiple ejaculates, which means collecting and analyzing multiple semen samples to confirm the absence of sperm. We usually collect the samples in quick succession, within an hour or two. This is done because sperm production can fluctuate, and a single semen analysis might not accurately reflect the overall situation. Multiple samples help account for these variations. Then an embryologist studies them to see if they can be used for IVF or not. Now the semen sample is placed on a chip under a microscope. AI connects to the microscope through a high-speed camera and with high-powered imaging technology scans it. The STAR system takes more than 8 million images in under an hour to find what it has been trained to identify as a sperm cell. It can isolate sperm faster in the sample, allowing embryologists to recover cells that they could not have just with their eyes. So AI is amplifying the embryologist's vision. Of course, each IVF case has different complexities which require the experience of a trained embryologist. But in resource-scarce settings and in the absence of a good embryologist, AI can scan sperm and eggs based on the dataset of thousands of samples that have been fed into them. Still I would say that an embryologist can grade embryos — assessing the quality and developmental potential of embryos — better.

IIT Gandhinagar launches Certificate Program in Foundations of Data Science
The Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT Gandhinagar) has launched a new programme – Certificate Program in Foundations of Data Science for Engineers. The applications for the newly launched programme is open and interested candidates can register at the IIT Gandhinagar website – by August 15. The new certificate programme is aimed at equipping engineering students and professionals with a robust grounding in data science principles. The programme is open to individuals holding or pursuing a graduate degree in fields including engineering, statistics, mathematics, computer science, science, economics, or commerce, provided they have at least 60 per cent marks or a 6.0/10 CPI. Final-year undergraduate students and working professionals looking to upskill are also encouraged to apply. A mandatory requirement is prior study of mathematics at Class 12. Designed as a high-engagement, four-month-long program, it offers 18 credits and covers a strategic blend of foundational knowledge, core topics, and communication skills essential for navigating today's data-driven industries. All sessions will be conducted live online, offering flexibility to both students and working professionals. 'This initiative is part of IITGN's broader mission to democratize access to high-quality knowledge and promote interdisciplinary learning across sectors,'** a spokesperson from the institute said. – Interdisciplinary curriculum spanning foundational, core, and communication-based learning – Live interactive sessions with flexible schedules to suit diverse participants – Continuous evaluation through a pass/ fail system – Real-world exposure, fostering critical thinking and hands-on data skills Applicants will have to pay Rs 500 application fee at the time of submission.
