Tuskegee celebrates its 144th anniversary
Tuskegee University, founded on July 4, 1881, commemorates its 144th anniversary today. The institution began as the Tuskegee Normal School for Colored Teachers, established through a collaboration between Lewis Adams, a formerly enslaved Black leader, and former Confederate Colonel W.F. Foster. Booker T. Washington, recommended by Hampton Institute's Samuel C. Armstrong, became the founding principal, initiating classes in a modest church setting. The university's official Founders' Day celebration occurred earlier this year, from March 28–30, marking its 107th annual observance. The event honored reunion classes from 1955 to 1985 and featured Hampton University President Darrell K. Williams as the keynote speaker. A highlight of the weekend was the record-breaking $1.3 million raised by alumni, including a significant $794,000 donation in memory of Dr. Matthew Jenkins. Williams spoke on the connection between the two HBCU institutions during his address this spring. "On behalf of Pirate Nation, I bring you greetings from your family up North, Hampton University," he said. "Most everyone knows the topline story of the special relationship our two institutions share. We know, for example, the Booker T. Washington connection with our founder, Former Union Brigadier General Samuel Chapman Armstrong. We know that many of the buildings on our campuses bear the same names. We know about the former Tuskegee presidents who matriculated through Hampton University and we know that my predecessor worked and trained here at Tuskegee prior to becoming the president of Hampton. We know of the respect and admiration the founders of our respective institutions shared for each other. "I contend that the bond is much, much deeper," he said. "We share the same values. We share the same ideals. We share the same commitment to excellence and the knowledge that education remains the door to opportunity, economic empowerment, and the continued advancement of a people. "The names Hampton and Tuskegee will forever be spoken together in history," said Williams. "They have always been inseparable in their singular and collective brilliance, and our destinies forever shall be intertwined. Hampton and Tuskegee; Crimson and Old Gold, Reflex Blue and White, Tuskegee and Hampton. May God bless our communities, and may God continue to richly bless America." While the formal Founders' Day events took place in March, the university's founding date of July 4 remains a significant milestone. Today, Tuskegee University reflects on its enduring legacy and contributions to education and African American history.

InSolare completes 16 years: A journey of innovation, leadership, and sustainability
As InSolare Energy celebrates Founders' Day, it's not just a date on the calendar; rather, a reflection of a journey starting from humble beginnings to becoming one of India's vital renewable energy companies. . What began in 2009 as a modest office in Bengaluru has today grown into a multi-city presence with offices in Ahmedabad, Delhi, and Mumbai. This resilient journey has been built on the core values that continue to define the company: Respect, discipline, innovation, integrity, results, and quality. Founded by Dr Sunit Tyagi and Dr Hemanshu Bhatt, two IIT Bombay alumni and globally respected technocrats, InSolare was born out of a simple but powerful idea: to harness solar energy and reduce India's dependence on fossil fuels. The founders infused InSolare with a unique blend of scientific excellence, business foresight, and a commitment to environmental responsibility. In the early days, the InSolare team worked on modest rooftop, carport, and ground-mount projects, designing, executing, and fine-tuning systems that delivered clean energy. Each project, regardless of size, became a stepping stone—refining technical expertise, earning client trust, and strengthening the company's resolve. Early collaborations with esteemed clients helped establish InSolare's reputation for quality, innovation, and reliable execution. Landmark projects were pivotal in shaping the company's journey and showcasing its engineering forte. Today, InSolare has successfully delivered engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) solutions to over 150 unique clients, spanning rooftop systems, ground mounts, solar carports, canal-top systems, microgrids, and floating solar plants. Serving public and private sectors, across rural and urban landscapes, and catering to industries of all scales, the company now proudly holds an EPC portfolio exceeding 1 GW—a testament to its sustained growth in the renewable energy space. ET Spotlight This remarkable growth has been guided by the visionary leadership of CEO Navashil Sharma, under whom InSolare has expanded its presence, enhanced operational efficiency, and embraced advanced technologies such as green hydrogen and battery energy storage. He leads business acquisition, financial planning, and stakeholder engagement. Supporting him is a dynamic leadership team: Live Events Col Gopal Samata, Director – HR & Operations, who oversees strategic planning, compliance, and human capital; Dipak Patel, Director – Technical, who drives engineering innovation and energy-efficient design; and Col Pravir Mishra, Chief Operating Officer, who brings process discipline and operational excellence across the value chain, together steering InSolare toward sustainable growth. However, InSolare's story goes beyond projects and portfolios. At its heart, it is a story of people—engineers solving challenges on remote sites, project managers coordinating seamless execution, support teams upholding standards behind the scenes, and leadership teams forging new directions. InSolare is a company that places collaboration at the heart of every milestone. As India transitions into a new energy era, InSolare stands ready to lead—not just with infrastructure, but with ideas, innovation, and a culture of integrity. The company is actively investing in hybrid renewable systems, energy storage, and green hydrogen, aligned with India's sustainability targets and the global net-zero vision. For InSolare, Founders' Day is not just a moment of celebration; it is a moment of gratitude to thank every individual who has shaped this journey, from the first few team members who believed in the dream to the 400+ dedicated professionals who are now part of the InSolare family. The heartfelt thanks also extend to valued customers and trusted partners, whose unwavering support and collaboration have been the cornerstone of InSolare's 16-year journey. With expertise in solar, green hydrogen, storage, and hybrid systems, it remains committed to building a smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable future.
