Masterstroke by Mukesh Ambani as Reliance to invest Rs 4300000000 in Bengaluru-based startup, it deals in..., name is...
Mukesh Ambani (File) In a significant decision which could provide a major boost to India's growing spacetech industry, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries is mulling to invest $50 million (about Rs 430 crore) in Digantara Research & Technologies, a Bengaluru-based spacetech startup, which is developing technology that can track objects in the Earth's orbit. How much is Mukesh Ambani Reliance Industries investing? According to a report by The Economic Times, Reliance Industries, India's most valued domestic firm led by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, is in advanced discussions to lead a Rs 430 crore funding round in Digantara, along with existing investors like Peak XV Partners. 'Reliance has evaluated multiple startups in the spacetech segment. It is looking at companies building novel solutions in the sector. Its talks with Digantara are at an advanced stage,' the report quoted a source familiar with the matter as saying. What does Digintara do? Co-founded by Anirudh Sharma (CEO), Rahul Rawat (COO), and Tanveer Ahmed (CTO), Digintara is a spacetech startup based in Bengaluru, working on the development of technologies which can track bjects in Earth's orbit. Earlier, in March, Digintara launched a satellite capable of tracking debris as small as 5 cm, and is currently providing services to defence agencies in both India and the United States, as per the report. According to the report, Digintara plans to deploy a constellation of about a dozen surveillance satellites by the end of 2026. The company has launched three satellites so far, one of which is part of the proposed satellite constellation. A major chunk of the upcoming funding round will be dedicated in developing and launching these satellites. 'Given the volatility in global geopolitics, every country is focused on having its own indigenous sovereign solutions that can be controlled in times of crisis. That's where the opportunity lies for startups like Digantara,' the report quoted a source as saying. The company established a manufacturing and operations facility in the US in February 2024, and expects to earn a revenue of $25–30 million (Rs 220–260 crore) from its US operation in the next 2-3 years.

Rahul Gandhi anti-national, only supports Muslims of Bangladesh, Pakistan, alleges Assam CM Himanta
Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is anti-national and only supports the Muslims of Bangladesh and to reporters on the sidelines of an election campaign meeting in Bodoland Territorial Region, Sarma also claimed that the Congress does not respect icons of Assam, like the Kamakhya temple and Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardeva.."Rahul Gandhi is an anti-India person. He is only with Bangladeshi and Pakistani Muslims. He is not with Indian Hindus, not even with Indian Muslims. Rahul Gandhi is an anti-national personality," Sarma however, did not elaborate on the reasons for branding Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, as "anti-national"..Asked about Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi's planned visit to Assam, Sarma said he has no objection to it.."I have no objection to Priyanka Gandhi coming to Assam. However, Assam's Self Help Groups' women members are 100 times more advanced than Priyanka Gandhi. Assamese women, especially those in SHGs, will defeat Priyanka Gandhi in every probe conspiracy by Congress to frame Bhagwat, Chidamabaram should be questioned: Himanta."She won't be able to join a competition with them. Our women prepare laaru, pitha (traditional Assamese sweets), do farming in paddy fields, and send children to schools and colleges. How can Priyanka Gandhi compete with our women?" he in the day, Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi said that party MP Priyanka Gandhi has expressed willingness to visit Assam, especially Dhubri, where she had campaigned during the last Lok Sabha to it, Sarma claimed, "They consider Dhubri as Assam. There is no issue in visiting Dhubri. But first one should talk about visiting Kamakhya, Batadrava, Charaideo Moidam and Rang Ghar, and then to Dhubri also."He also alleged, "They (Congress leaders) don't have faith in Maa Kamakhya, Mahapurush Sankardeva, and do not recognise Charaideo and Rang Ghar. They recognise only a section of religious minorities living in Dhubri. They don't understand the love of any other people." Stressing that he has absolutely no problem with Gandhi visiting Dhubri, Sarma claimed that Assamese people of other areas "do not have any interest" in seeing the Congress leader.."There is no problem in going to Dhubri, but she should visit other areas. However, I feel it is not the time to visit other places. Who will come to see Priyanka Gandhi? Assamese people have no interest in seeing Priyanka Gandhi," he claimed.

PM Modi, Amit Shah meet President Murmu separately
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday called on President Droupadi Murmu separately within hours at the Rashtrapati Bhavan here. It was not known the reasons behind the subsequent meetings of the prime minister and the home minister with the President. "Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan," the Rashtrapati Bhavan said on 'X'. Hours later, the Rashtrapati Bhavan again wrote on 'X', "Union Minister for Home Affairs and Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan." The home minister also wrote on 'X' sharing a picture of his meeting with President Murmu. "Called on Hon'ble President Smt. Droupadi Murmu Ji at Rashtrapati Bhavan." However, there is no words so far from the prime minister's office. This was the first meeting of the prime minister with the President after his recent visit to the United Kingdom and the Maldives. The meetings came against the backdrop of the logjam in Parliament over the Opposition's demand for a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections in the state. Except discussions in both Houses on Operation Sindoor, Parliament has seen little business ever since the Monsoon session began on July 21. Also, the Lok Sabha last week approved the extension of the President's rule in Manipur for six more months, while the Rajya Sabha is yet to take up the motion for discussion. The President's rule was imposed in the Northeastern state on February 13. The prime minister's meeting with the President also came days after US President Donald Trump announced 25 per cent tariffs on exports from India and an unspecified penalty because of New Delhi's purchases of Russian military equipment and oil. The meetings also came nearly two weeks after Jagdeep Dhankhar on July 21 tendered his resignation as vice president to the President citing health grounds. The vice president also functions as the chairman of Rajya Sabha. The Election Commission last week announced that election of vice president will take place on September 9. The electoral college for the vice-presidential election comprises all elected and nominated members of the Rajya Sabha and all members of the Lok Sabha.
