As the caption says, more business founders are expected to join the panel. Is it indicating the replacement of Aman Gupta, Namita Thapar, and other constant founders on the panel? Well, there's no official confirmation on the same. However, there are high chances that the big names associated with the show from its first season will return.
Furthermore, it is quite possible that they will be joined by a group of new founders. However, the names are yet to be revealed. What must be noted is that registrations for the 5th season are now open.

Moreover, Ashneer Grover, Amit Jain, Ghazal Alagh, Radhika Gupta, Deepinder Goyal, Kunal Bahl, Viraj Bahl, and Ritesh Agarwal have also appeared as judges on the show.

AR Rahman joins forces with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman for his AI project Secret Mountain, a musical metaverse
Two-time Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman recently shared a photo with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, teasing their collaboration for the singer's AI-powered project. Rahman met Altman at his office, where the two discussed and explored ways to empower Indian creators while also tackling the generational challenges using artificial intelligence. In his post shared Friday on Instagram, Rahman tagged Altman and revealed they were brainstorming on 'Secret Mountain,' his upcoming virtual global band project that aims to fuse sound and code into something game-changing. 'It was a pleasure meet @sama at his office …we discussed 'Secret Mountain', our virtual global band, and to empower and uplift Indian minds to use AI tools to address generational challenges and lead the way forward,' Rahman wrote on social media alongside the picture of two smiling for the camera. A post shared by ARR (@arrahman) What is AR Rahman's Secret Mountain project? Back on February 14, 2024, AR Rahman posted a nearly five-minute video on YouTube, titled 'Introducing the Secret Mountain.' Fans were confused with the sudden update, but it turned out to be a tease for what Rahman was planning. The video started with, 'Hey I'm Luna, let me tell you a story. Like most of us, I have been wandering the jungle instead of gratification, dooms of scrolling.' The video teased the introduction of innovation through enhanced storytelling set in a mystical metaverse world. It tells the story of Luna, a young woman who is transported to the world of Secret Mountain, where she meets different musical characters from various cultural backgrounds, each with a different style.

Watch Rahman often relies on wisdom rather than leaning on 'muscle memory,' and is known for making music without direct reference to film scenes. This is where he gets his inspiration from to come up with his new project. 'I consciously avoid repetition,' Rahman explained on his website. 'AI can be a starting point,' he noted, adding, 'but the human element, the emotional depth and creativity, remains irreplaceable.' Through this project, he will bring singers and mentors from around the world onto one platform, including Ireland, China, Africa, and India, to show how music can surpass geographical boundaries. The project is called 'Meta Band' and aims to provide an immersive experience.

Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend three shares to buy today — 25 July 2025
Stocks to buy under ₹ 100: The benchmark indices of the Indian stock market began the session on a weak footing and remained under pressure throughout the weekly expiry, as lacklustre Q1 results 2025 from IT majors triggered a sharp sell-off in the sector, weighing on overall sentiment. Caution also prevailed before next week's U.S. Federal Reserve policy decision, likely to steer global market direction. The Sensex dropped 542.47 points, or 0.66%, to close at 82,184.17, while the Nifty fell 157.80 points, or 0.63%, settling at 25,062.10. Sector-wise, PSU Banks, Healthcare, and Pharma outperformed in positive territory, bucking the broader downtrend. In contrast, heavy selling was seen across most other sectors, with the IT index sliding over 2%, leading the losses. Broader markets also came under selling pressure, with the Nifty Midcap index down 0.58% and the Small-cap index shedding 1.09%, indicating a weak undertone across segments. On the outlook of the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research — Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "We expect Indian markets to remain range-bound, with stock/sector-specific movements driven by Q1 results 2025. Meanwhile, global developments, including formalisation of the UK FTA and updates on the India-US trade deal, will be closely tracked by market participants." Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The underlying trend of the Nifty 50 index is still weak. Strong overhead resistance and the formation of a bearish pattern indicate chances of more weakness in the short term. A slide below 24,900 levels could open some weakness down to 24,500 levels soon." Asked about the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "The Bank Nifty index continues to move within a tight range, having the tough resistance barrier near the 57,300 zone, which needs to be breached decisively and expect further upward movement in the coming days. On the downside, the 50-DEMA zone at the 56,000 level shall be an important and crucial support that must be sustained to maintain the overall bias and sentiment intact." Regarding stocks to buy today, market experts — Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking; Sugandha Sachdeva, Founder of SS WealthStreet; and Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment, recommended three intraday stocks for today under ₹ 100: Prozone Realty, Balaji Telefilms, and Elpro International. 1] Prozone Realty: Buy at ₹ 41.90, Target ₹ 45.50, Stop Loss ₹ 40.50. 2] Elpro International: Buy at ₹ 97, Targets ₹ 100.50, ₹ 102.80, Stop Loss ₹ 94.80. 3] Balaji Telefilms: Buy at ₹ 98.50, Target ₹ 105, Stop Loss ₹ 95.
