What if your breath could warn you before your body breaks down?

Two young founders from Kerala asked that question—and built a device that can spot diseases like TB and cancer in just 90 seconds.

No needles. No pain. Just a breath.

It’s not flawless yet, but the idea is powerful: catch illness early, make screening accessible, and give people a fighting chance before it’s too late.

Scroll down to know about this health startup which can detect cancer, TB, and other diseases in just 90 seconds >>

“They said, leave him behind. We said, he’s family.”

When Divya and John moved to Australia, they could’ve adopted another dog.

Instead, they chose 190 days of waiting, ₹15 lakh in savings, endless paperwork, and heartbreaks just to bring Sky home.

Because some bonds don’t come with expiry dates.

And some goodbyes are simply not an option.

Scroll down to see how love crossed oceans, rules, and borders.>>

Germany has installed over 500,000 balcony solar systems — with 220,000 added in 2024 alone.

These small plug-in kits (600–800 W), costing about ₹40–55k, can power essentials like a fridge, laptop, fans, and lights.

Perfect for renters and apartment residents without rooftop access, they’re now gaining global attention. In India, the PM Surya Ghar scheme also recognises balcony solar, offering subsidies of up to ₹78,000 for 3 kW systems.

For urban households — 70% of which live in apartments — this could be a game-changer to cut bills and join the clean energy shift. Challenges like shading, building approvals, and upfront costs remain, but the potential is huge.

Scroll down to see how Germany did it — and what it could mean for Indian cities.
