Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani (File) Some of India's richest billionaires became richer in FY25, not through stock market rallies or IPO gains, but through massive dividend payouts in cash. Ten of the country's top promoter groups, including Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, Anil Agarwal, and Shiv Nadar earned over Rs 40,000 crore in dividends during the year. This year so far saw strong earnings and generous payout policies in multiple sectors like technology, telecom, metals, and pharmaceuticals. Shiv Nadar HCL Tech Dividend At the top of the dividend earnings chart is Shiv Nadar, the founder of HCL Technologies, who received Rs 9,902 crore in dividend income in FY25. HCL declared a total dividend of Rs 16,290 crore at Rs 60 per share, and the Nadar family, which has a 60.81 percent stake, was the biggest beneficiary. With a net worth of $37.3 billion, the 80-year-old philanthropist is India's third richest person and 50th globally on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Scored Low in CUET UG 2025? Here's what you can do next
The much-anticipated CUET UG 2025 results are out, and while many are celebrating soaring scores and dream college call-ups, there exists another reality, one less glorified, but just as common. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Thousands of students find themselves staring at unexpectedly low scores, dreams momentarily stalled. But is a low CUET score the end of the road? Absolutely not. In India's hyper-competitive education landscape, an entrance test score often feels like the final verdict. But seasoned educators and counsellors will tell you otherwise, success is rarely linear. If your CUET UG 2025 rank has not met expectations, this moment can still be a powerful launchpad for alternative, equally meaningful career trajectories. The numbers don't define you Let's start by confronting the fear: A low CUET score can feel devastating. But it's essential to remember that entrance exams measure performance, not potential. They don't account for creativity, resilience, leadership, or passion, qualities that often shape remarkable careers. The road ahead may require recalibration, but not retreat. Explore private universities and institutes Several reputed private universities such as Ashoka, Shiv Nadar, and FLAME University offer undergraduate programmes with their own entrance tests or holistic admission processes. These institutions value more than just scores, they consider SOPs, interviews, extracurriculars, and leadership potential. Look into skill-based diplomas and certifications Fields like digital marketing, UI/UX design, graphic design, animation, and content creation are booming, and often don't require a traditional college degree to get started. Platforms like NSDC, Coursera, upGrad, and Skill India offer certifications that can jumpstart a lucrative career. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Consider open universities or distance learning The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) and state open universities offer flexible and affordable undergraduate programmes. These can be pursued alongside internships, skill training, or entrepreneurial projects, giving you real-world exposure while earning a degree. Take a gap year, but make it count A year of focused self-work, preparing for CUET again, building your portfolio, interning, or volunteering, can transform your academic and personal trajectory. A planned gap year isn't a waste; it's an investment. Embrace vocational courses and new-age careers Short-term courses in fields like filmmaking, event management, culinary arts, gaming, fashion, or hospitality can open doors to unconventional yet rewarding careers. These paths value hands-on skills over theoretical marks. Don't underestimate the power of plan B History is filled with examples of individuals who didn't crack the 'right' exam but went on to lead exceptional lives. Not getting into a top college does not automatically translate to failure. What you choose to do now, how you adapt, learn, and persist, will ultimately determine your future. Keep the bigger picture in sight It's easy to feel lost in a system that often prioritises scores over skills. But remember, a single number cannot define your capabilities. Success today is no longer tied exclusively to traditional academic paths. With the digital economy, gig opportunities, and global access to education, your career can be built on passion, purpose, and persistence, not just a percentile. So, if CUET UG 2025 didn't go your way, take a breath. Regroup. Rethink. And then move forward, not in defeat, but in quiet, powerful defiance of the notion that one exam gets to write your story. The chapter isn't closed, it's just a plot twist.

Indian researchers develop new way to enhance lithium-ion battery safety
In a major leap toward enhancing lithium-ion battery safety, researchers at Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence have unveiled a groundbreaking thermoresponsive electrolyte that actively prevents catastrophic battery innovation, recently published in the prestigious journal Advanced Functional Materials, promises to transform the safety landscape for devices powered by lithium-ion batteries, including smartphones, laptops, and electric lithium-ion batteries rely on polymer separators for safety, which are designed to melt or shrink at around 160C to halt battery However, these separators often fail under real-world conditions, as internal battery temperatures can easily surpass this threshold, leading to dangerous thermal runaway—a phenomenon that can cause fires or Shiv Nadar team's new approach leverages chemistry, not just materials engineering. Their electrolyte is engineered using Diels – Alder click chemistry, combining vinylene carbonate and 2,5-dimethylfuran. Under normal conditions, it functions just like commercial electrolytes. (Photo: Shiv Nadar) Under normal conditions, it functions just like commercial electrolytes. But when the battery's temperature rises above 100C — a critical warning sign — the Diels – Alder reaction is reaction produces polymeric materials that simultaneously block lithium-ion movement and clog the separator's micropores, effectively shutting down the battery's operation before it can reach hazardous two-stage protection mechanism provides a built-in safety buffer, giving users critical time before any catastrophic failure occurs,' explained lead researcher Professor Arnab Ghosh.'Unlike conventional polymer separators, which often fail above 160C due to thermal shrinkage, our thermoresponsive electrolyte ceases lithium-ion transport as soon as the temperature exceeds 100–120C. This limits further internal temperature rise and significantly reduces the risk of fire or explosion,' he shift from passive to active safety mechanisms could revolutionise battery safety standards across halting battery operation at lower, safer temperatures, this technology offers enhanced protection for a wide range of applications— from consumer electronics to electric vehicles — potentially saving lives and breakthrough shows India's growing leadership in battery research, positioning Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence at the forefront of global efforts to make energy storage safer and more reliable.
