The first thing you'll notice about DailyObjects' GaN chargers especially the POP GaN series is their bold, vibrant color options. Available in Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, and White, they break away from the usual plain and utilitarian look of most chargers. For those who value a bit of personality in their tech accessories, this is a clear win. More importantly for Indian users, the inclusion of foldable Indian-style pins adds a layer of practicality, making them easier to carry and less prone to damage in transit a smart and ergonomic touch.

As for the "GaN5 technology" branding, it suggests a more compact build and better heat management compared to older silicon-based chargers. However, in real-world usage, it doesn't necessarily deliver a significant leap in performance over other GaN chargers already on the market. The multi-port setup mostly USB-C with some USB-A is in line with what you'd expect from any modern GaN charger today.
Usage & Compatibility – What Works, What Doesn't
DailyObjects' GaN chargers do manage to juggle power across multiple ports well, like most multi-port GaN chargers today. But here's the catch: if you're plugging in more than one device at a time, the total wattage gets divided—which means slower charging compared to using a single-port high-watt charger. So if you're someone who expects every port to perform at full throttle simultaneously, that's something to keep in mind.
Here's how they stack up across different devices after a month of real-world testing:
Phones
33W & 45W Chargers: These handle fast charging just fine for most modern phones including iPhones (like the 15 and 14 series), Samsung's Galaxy S series, and Pixels. The 33W is good for charging your phone and maybe a small accessory like earbuds. The 45W gives you a bit more room, especially if you're juggling a secondary device.
67W Charger: This one's powerful enough to charge any flagship phone quickly—or even two phones at once. Just note that if you're using both ports, charging speeds will drop per device.
Tablets
45W & 67W Chargers: Ideal for tablets like the iPad Pro/Air and Galaxy Tabs. The 45W does the job at a decent pace, while the 67W is great if you're in a rush or need to charge a second device alongside.
Laptops
45W Charger: This is more of a 'keep your battery from dying' solution than a full-on charger for laptops. Works okay for lightweight machines like the MacBook Air (M1/M2/M3) or basic ultrabooks, but don't expect fast top-ups especially under heavy use.
67W Charger: This is where things get more usable. It can comfortably charge a 13- or 14-inch MacBook Pro, most MacBook Airs, and other USB-C laptops that sit in the 60–65W range. It's a solid travel-friendly alternative to your bulky default charger. Just remember: the 67W is total output, so if you're charging a laptop
and
a phone at the same time, expect reduced speeds.
Verdict
After testing the entire lineup, the 67W charger stands out as the best value for money. It's versatile enough to handle just about every device in your ecosystem from phones and tablets to most laptops making it a practical one-size-fits-most solution.
While the 33W and 45W variants perform well, it's harder to recommend them when OEM-branded accessories are available at similar price points. That leaves these lower-wattage options leaning heavily on their design appeal rather than overall utility.

India tops global fast payments with UPI processing 18 billion transactions monthly
India has emerged as the global leader in fast payments, according to a recent note by the International Monetary Fund titled Growing Retail Digital Payments: The Value of Interoperability. At the heart of this transformation is the Unified Payments Interface , better known as UPI. Launched in 2016 by the National Payments Corporation of India, UPI has changed how people send and receive money in the country.

Its appeal lies in its speed and ease of use. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo Today, UPI processes over 18 billion transactions every month in India. "This shift has taken India away from cash and card-based payments and pushed it towards a digital-first economy. Millions of individuals and small businesses now rely on UPI for safe and low-cost transactions. By making payments quick and accessible, UPI has become a powerful tool for financial inclusion ," Press Information Bureau (PIB) said in its backgrounders series on Sunday. Live Events The scale of UPI today is remarkable. In June alone, it handled over Rs 24.03 lakh crore in payments. This was spread across 18.39 billion transactions. Compared to the same month last year, when there were 13.88 billion transactions, the growth is clear. There is an increase of about 32 per cent in just one year. The UPI system now serves 491 million individuals and 65 million merchants. It connects 675 banks on a single platform, allowing people to make payments easily without worrying about which bank they use. Today, UPI accounts for 85 per cent of all digital transactions in India. Its impact goes beyond national borders, powering nearly 50 per cent of global real-time digital payments . "These figures show more than just numbers. They reflect trust, convenience and speed. Every month, more individuals and businesses choose UPI for their payments. This growing use is a strong sign that India is moving steadily towards a cashless economy," the PIB report read. The success story does not stop at home. UPI is making its presence felt across borders. It is already live in seven countries, including the UAE, Singapore, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, France, and Mauritius. Its entry into France is a milestone because it is UPI's first step into Europe. This allows Indians travelling or living there to pay seamlessly without the usual hassles of foreign transactions. According to the PIB backgrounder, India is also pushing for UPI to become a standard within the BRICS group, which now has six new member nations. "If this happens, it will improve remittances, boost financial inclusion and raise India's profile as a global tech leader in digital payments," it said. UPI's rise as the world's leading real-time payment system was not an accident. It is the result of years of planning and investment in digital infrastructure. Financial inclusion was the first big step. The Jan Dhan scheme opened bank accounts for millions who had never used formal banking before. As of July 9, over 55.83 crore accounts have been created. These accounts give people direct access to government benefits and a safe place to save money.

41st anniversary of The Times of India, Bengaluru: Engineering the future
In the most sought-after engineering college of Karnataka, a four-year computer science seat gets lapped up for a fee of Rs 70 lakh. And if you thought this was too steep a price to pay, consider this: Students from across the country queue at this college as early as December of the previous year. Karnataka, and, more specifically Bengaluru, has been one of the hotspots for engineering education since the 1970s and a pioneer in private technical education in the country. Of the 213 colleges affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), more than 80 are Bengaluru-based. You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru When Bharat Ratna Sir M Visvesvaraya established the University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) in 1917, it was the fifth engineering college in the country. If that was a humble beginning, then the picture started changing drastically from the late 1950s. That was when the then prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, in his clarion call for industrialisation, said, 'industrialise or perish'. In the years that followed, at least eight big-ticket public sector industrial units came to Bengaluru, including Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), and Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo 'With an ever-growing demand for engineers in the country, engineering colleges started mushrooming,' recalled Seetharamu A S, former faculty at the Institute for Social and Economic Change. 'Basic sciences grew, too. Indian Institute of Science was paving the way for this. Meanwhile, there was a lot of interest in spectroscopy, with Nobel laureate C V Raman's work. All this led to an increased demand for engineering education in the state,' he said. Then came privatisation of professional colleges in Karnataka. In 1946, BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE) became the first private sector initiative in engineering education in India. Soon, several others followed. 'The ecosystem for science and engineering was already set in the city with the PSUs in 1960s. At a time when other states were just beginning to set up private engineering colleges, Karnataka already had 50-60 of those. However, Karnataka did not unscrupulously increase the number of colleges and maintained it at 213, thereby ensuring quality education,' said K N Subramanya, principal of R V College of Engineering. Karnataka was one of the first states to build an umbrella university VTU that brought all technical education under one roof. While many educationists were not in favour of the affiliation system, they agreed that formation of VTU brought in standardisation and quality in technical education. Karnataka was also one of the first states to bring in a Common Entrance Test (CET) in 1994 that ensured meritocracy in admissions, setting benchmarks in engineering education. As a result of these initiatives, in the 1990s, Bengaluru emerged the cradle of IT revolution in the country. The rest, as they say, is history! Bengaluru's story in engineering education is now about keeping up with the times. S Sadagopan, the founder director at International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore, said: 'While institutes like IITs provide quality education, they have not been able to scale up student intake to the extent required. However, many colleges in Bengaluru are now providing quality education with intake as high as 1,000 for some branches. They're able to offer quality education at scale. This is Karnataka's contribution to the nation,' he observed. In addition, there are private universities offering engineering education. Colleges from other states and cities are also venturing into Bengaluru to have a piece of the pie. With artificial intelligence (AI) taking the world by storm, colleges have also undergone makeovers to keep pace. Currently, there are 133 streams available, of which at least 105 are related to computer science and its allied programmes. 'Bengaluru's evolution into India's premier engineering education hub is deeply tied to its thriving tech ecosystem, the early establishment of top-tier institutions, and close industry-academia collaboration,' said Neeti Sharma, CEO, Teamlease Digital. 'Over the past two decades, top engineering colleges in the city have consistently attracted high-quality talent from across India due to robust placement records and proximity to leading tech companies,' she further said. 'With around 12,000 IT/software firms and more than 10,000 startups, Bengaluru offers unmatched industry exposure to engineering students. The city's colleges routinely see the highest number of companies visiting for campus placements,' Sharma added. 'The packages offered are also among the highest in the country. Institutions such as IIIT Bangalore and IISc report average packages of Rs 27-28 LPA, with top offers reaching Rs 65-86 LPA,' Sharma said. According to Sharma, core engineering domains, especially semiconductors, are seeing renewed interest. 'Bengaluru is home to a vast majority of India's chip design workforce, with firms such as AMD, Qualcomm, and Intel expanding their design operations,' she said. It's not just engineering, but colleges in other streams also have mushroomed in the state. According to the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) 2021-22, Bengaluru Urban district has the highest density of colleges in the country, with 1,106 institutions. In comparison, Jaipur has 703, Hyderabad 491, Pune 475 and Prayagraj 398. What Bengaluru has always lacked is an IIT, but there are now colleges in the city that can boast of education on par with the best in the country.

Norton Drops Teaser For Its Upcoming Motorcycle Ahead Of November 4 Debut
Norton is gearing up to step into the Indian market quite soon with its range of middle-weight motorcycles. However, the UK-based motorcycle maker is not alone in its Indian journey, as it has partnered with TVS Motors for its operation in the country. Now, Norton has shared the teaser for its soon-to-be-launched motorcycle in India. However, we need to wait for a few months as the brand is hoping to unveil the bike on EICMA 2025, dated 4th November. While the teaser video hides many of the details of the bike, it just gives us a glimpse of the sharp and sporty taillight. It must be noted that the brand is planning to introduce a 400cc-450cc and a 650cc machine in the Indian market. However, it is not yet clear whether the bikes will feature a single-cylinder or a dual-cylinder unit. As of now, all we know is Norton will bring an all-new motorcycle to the country in November based on a new platform, which will open the windows for more motorcycles in the future. Also, a few reports claim that TVS, along with Norton, is working on a 300cc motorcycle that will rival Royal Enfield and Triumph in the Indian market. Norton India TVS Motor Company acquired Norton Motorcycles, the iconic British brand, in 2020. This marks a significant milestone in TVS's multi-year strategy to revive and globalise the heritage motorcycle marque. Since acquiring Norton for Rs. 153 crore, TVS has invested over Rs. 1,000 crore into the brand, focusing on product development, R&D, and establishing a new manufacturing facility in Solihull, UK, with a capacity to manufacture around 8,000 motorcycles annually. The company plans to introduce six new models globally by 2027, emphasising "Design, Dynamism, and Detail" as core principles.
