In a major step toward making artificial intelligence a better learning companion, OpenAI has introduced a new feature in ChatGPT that brings interactive visuals to math and science explanations. Instead of simply reading formulas or theoretical explanations, users can now explore concepts through dynamic visual modules that respond instantly when variables or equations are changed. The update is designed to help learners truly understand how formulas work rather than just memorising them. According to the company, the feature is rolling out globally to all logged-in ChatGPT users across plans and currently supports more than 70 core topics commonly taught in…

These include tools like Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Excel. The feature represents…

1. Can you take us back to the moment you decided not to “wait your turn” and instead take the lead in your space?  By nature, I have always been an independent and empowered woman. I didn’t really wait for my  “turn”—I believed in myself and my own strength. This mindset has guided me throughout my career,  allowing me to step into new roles, take on challenges, and lead with confidence. For me, leadership begins with trusting your abilities, embracing opportunities, and creating your own path.  2. What does power mean to you personally, and how has that definition evolved…

1. Can you take us back to the moment you decided not to “wait your turn” and instead take the lead in your space?  I don’t think it was very dramatic. It was actually a very quiet realisation. After my motorbike accident over a decade ago, rebuilding my body through yoga showed me how transformative this practice could be. I realised that I didn’t just want to participate in the wellness industry, or even the yoga and Ayurveda space, I wanted to help shape it. When I began noticing gaps in how yoga was being taught, either overly aesthetic or…

Can you take us back to the moment you decided not to “wait for your turn” and instead take the lead in your space? There wasn’t one dramatic moment; it was a series of decisions where I chose responsibility over comfort. Early in my career, when I was working on scaling digital payments in India, the ecosystem was still nascent. There weren’t playbooks, and there certainly weren’t many women in decision-making roles in fintech. I remember a particular instance in my early career when I decided to challenge key business tenets to capture the opportunity to create the single largest…

 Can you take us back to the moment you decided not to “wait your turn” and instead take the lead in your space? There wasn’t a single dramatic moment. It was a quiet rebellion. When we started Bruised Passports, there was no roadmap. No one was telling Indian women that travel could be a career, a calling, or a creative canvas. I realised early on that if I kept waiting for permission from the industry, from society, or from people around me, I would be waiting forever. So I stopped asking. I stopped waiting for travel blogging to be validated…

There are weddings. And then there are Indian weddings. After days of late nights, endless sweets, social obligations, loud music, and very little sleep, I felt like my body had been through a multi-day endurance rally without pit stops. My knees ached, my back felt tight, and my energy levels were erratic. Upon a friend’s suggestion, I walked into Evity Wellness in Kolkata, and I didn’t walk out the same. A Different Kind of Wellness Space Evity doesn’t feel like a spa. Nor does it resemble a gym. There are no incense sticks, no treadmills humming in the background. Instead,…
