Marketing the invisible: How do you sell innovation consumers can’t see?
Technology has become an integral part of how consumers experience products and spaces. Yet, paradoxically, the most successful innovations are often those that consumers do not consciously notice. For years, technology marketing has relied on visible differentiation: features, smarter controls, connected devices and increasingly sophisticated specifications. But as technology becomes embedded in everyday products, the conversation is shifting from what technology does to what it enables.

India’s Energy Transition is no Longer about Choosing Green Over Growth
For years, India’s energy debate has been framed as a choice between economic growth and sustainability. That framing is now outdated. The more relevant question is whether India can build an energy system that is simultaneously cleaner, more secure, affordable and capable of supporting an economy whose electricity demand will keep rising for decades. The numbers suggest that transition is already gathering scale.
Sustainability with Security: The New BRICS Energy Playbook
For years, the global energy transition has often been framed as a race to replace one set of fuels with another. The BRICS New Delhi Declaration offers a more grounded proposition: for developing economies, sustainability cannot be separated from affordability, energy security or economic development. That is an important shift, and one that could make BRICS a consequential platform for shaping the next phase of the global energy transition.
Govt. Offers ₹2 Cr Aid to Help Industries Switch From Fossil Fuels to Solar Heat
India is taking another step toward industrial decarbonisation by encouraging industries to replace fossil-fuel-based heating with solar thermal technology. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is offering up to 50% financial support, capped at ₹2 crore per project, for eligible industrial solar-heat initiatives.
India is Producing More Solar Power But can’t Use All of It
India’s rapid expansion of solar energy is helping the country move towards a cleaner energy future. However, increasing generation is also creating a new challenge: in some parts of the country, India does not have enough grid capacity and storage to use all the electricity it produces. Solar power generation is highest during the day, when sunlight is available. But electricity demand often increases during the evening, when solar generation starts to decline.
India’s Power Reform Can’t Wait: Regulation Must Catch Up with Demand
India’s power sector is entering a phase where incremental reform will no longer be enough. Electricity demand is rising rapidly, renewable energy is expanding, transport and industry are becoming more electrified, and the grid is getting more complex. Yet the institutions that regulate this system remain weak, fragmented and too often influenced by short-term political pressures. That mismatch is becoming a serious economic risk.
Nepal’s Flood is a Warning for India Too!
The devastating floods in Nepal are not only a humanitarian tragedy for a neighbouring country. They are also a reminder to India that disasters in the Himalayas rarely respect political borders. The August 26 flash flood, triggered after a glacier collapse sent rock, ice and debris into a Himalayan river system, has caused extraordinary destruction across Nepal.
Mineral Tax Row: Federalism Cannot be the Price of Policy Uniformity
India’s mining sector needs investment, predictability and a stable tax regime. But those goals should not come at the cost of weakening the financial authority of states that sit on the country’s mineral wealth. That is the concern at the heart of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2026. The new law restricts states from imposing fresh taxes, cesses or similar levies on rights bearing land except within conditions prescribed by the Centre.
India’s Renewable Push Needs a Reset From Capacity to Reliable Power
India’s renewable energy story has so far been told largely in gigawatts. How much solar was auctioned, how much wind was added, how quickly capacity expanded. The next phase will have to be judged differently: not by how much capacity is awarded, but by how much clean power can actually find buyers and reach the grid when it is needed. That shift is now becoming unavoidable. Nearly 42 GW of renewable capacity already awarded through auctions is yet to secure buyers.
Sugar Shock is Not an Ethanol Verdict, But India Needs a Smarter Food-Fuel Balance
Sugar has suddenly become another pressure point in the household budget. Retail prices rose from ₹48.18 a kg on July 20 to ₹55.70 on August 20, a jump of nearly 16% in just a month. With the festive season approaching, when consumption typically rises, the increase has naturally reopened an old debate: is India producing too much ethanol at the expense of sugar? The government says the answer is no. And the available numbers support that argument, at least for the present price spike.
UK Energy Bills to Rise as West Asia War Pushes up Gas Prices
British households are set to face another increase in energy costs as the ongoing conflict in West Asia continues to disrupt global gas supplies and push wholesale prices higher. UK energy regulator Ofgem has announced that its domestic energy price cap will rise by 4% from October 2026, taking the typical annual household bill for gas and electricity to approximately £1,723. The increase amounts to around £60 a year, or £5 a month, for a typical household.
Trump Tightens Iran Squeeze, Hurting China and India in the Process
The Trump administration is intensifying its economic pressure on Iran, but the consequences are reaching far beyond Tehran.

India’s solar irrigation push needs a water reset
As the government prepares the next phase of PM-KUSUM, India faces a question that goes far beyond installing more pumps. Can the country expand clean-energy irrigation without worsening the groundwater crisis already confronting large parts of rural India? Over the past five years, PM-KUSUM has installed more than 2.5 million solar pumps, supported by subsidies that have brought the technology within reach of small farmers. That is a significant clean-energy achievement.

Perpetual futures: when expiry disappears, governance is key
By The notion of perpetual futures has been around since the early 1990s, when Robert Schiller developed the concept academically. But they've gained traction in recent years: BitMEX operationalised them for crypto markets in 2016 and this year they achieved notoriety when CME sued its regulator, the Commodity Future Trading Commission (CFTC), to challenge their legal status in the US. Perpetuals are

Disease-dependent and independent factors determine the burden of illness among family members
The article by Abdalla et al.1 highlights an important aspect of the burden of chronic dermatological diseases: its impact on the lives of family members and caregivers. While the impact on quality of life in chronic skin conditions, such as chronic urticaria, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and vitiligo, has been widely explored, the effect on the so-called ‘greater patient’ remains less well studied.
India’s oil security needs more than underground caverns
When tensions rose again around the Strait of Hormuz, the first fear in India was familiar: would petrol pumps run dry, LPG supplies tighten and airfares rise as crude flows were disrupted? India imports more than 88% of its crude requirement, and nearly 40% of those imports pass through Hormuz. Yet the feared breakdown did not occur. Fuel supplies continued, refineries operated and the economy avoided a sudden shock. That outcome offers a timely policy lesson for India.
The real solar story isn’t happening in India’s skylines
For years, the assumption around India’s clean energy transition was simple: the big cities would lead, and everyone else would eventually catch up. Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, these were supposed to be the laboratories where rooftop solar proved itself before trickling down to smaller towns. The data now coming in from the ground tells a very different story, and it is worth sitting with why.
