The future isn’t about choosing AI over human intelligence, but about mastering both—before the meltdown turns into an extinction event. Let’s kick this off with a man who needs no introduction but deserves one anyway, Akshay Kumar: Bollywood’s fittest superstar, the original Khiladi, and a living testament to discipline over decades. In an industry where six-packs are often built in post-production, Akshay is an anomaly – His 5 AM workouts, martial arts mastery, and a diet that would make AI nutritionists nod in approval set him apart. If there’s one thing he proves, it’s that consistency outlasts trends, whether in…

When you hear the term “flagship killer,” it typically refers to the S-series, which is undoubtedly the king of premium Android smartphones. For all the Apple fans out there, this series is often the first choice for those considering a switch. When Samsung invited me to the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California, I packed my bags faster than the Galaxy S25 Ultra loads apps (and trust me, it’s really fast). Travelling all the way from India for what promised to be the best smartphone launch of the year, I was as excited as a tech enthusiast in a…

As the final pages of this year’s journey unfold, I find myself reflecting on a year packed with extraordinary stories from the world of tech and lifestyle. And what better way to end 2024 than with an issue that celebrates the best of both worlds? This month, we bring you a glimpse of the life of India’s most prolific athlete, who has given India immense pride and is one of only two Indians to have won an individual Olympic gold medal. Moreover, he’s also the youngest-ever Indian Olympic gold medalist in an individual event and the only individual to have…

The influencer landscape is becoming more diverse, more dynamic, and honestly, a little wild Let’s face it: Influencer marketing is no longer just a trend; it’s the Beyoncé of the marketing world—always evolving, relevant, and undeniably powerful. Once upon a time, influencers were just people with cute Instagram feeds and snackable content. Now? They’re marketing juggernauts, shaping brand strategies, and giving traditional advertising a run for its money. Standing tall and celebrating the power of influencers and content creators in our InfluencEX Awards, which just wrapped up its 5th viral edition in Goa, where top content creators were hosted. Meet…

The first-ever Nvidia AI Summit kicked off with news that Reliance and Nvidia have joined hands to build and develop AI infrastructure in India. The announcement was made jointly by Reliance MD and Chairman Mukesh Ambani and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during a fireside chat where they discussed their AI strategy for India. The keynote started on a rather funny note when Huang entered the stage without his slide changer and had to scurry back in to fetch it. Being his witty self, he handled the situation with grace. The keynote was also attended by Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, who…

We’re seeing a shift toward on-demand gaming experiences that blur the lines between player and spectator In the ever-evolving world of technology, there is never a dull month. Apple is again leading the charge with the release of the iPhone 16 series and showcasing its to be launched Apple intelligence. This sleek device is a power-packed combination of hardware and software, boasting enhanced AI capabilities, a more refined camera system, and blazing-fast performance. From pro-level photo editing to augmented reality experiences, Apple continues to push the boundaries of what a smartphone can be, all while maintaining that signature Apple polish.…

The September edition of Car vs. Tech brought together two iconic brands, both synonymous with luxury and innovation. By spotlighting the Mercedes S350d and the LG OLED Evo TV, we explored how technology redefines the boundaries of what we consider luxury, whether in the refined elegance of a high-end vehicle or the cutting-edge brilliance of a top-tier television. As we examined these two remarkable beauties, we discovered how each sets new benchmarks in its respective industries, offering an experience that transcends mere functionality to elevate our everyday lives. Whether settling into the plush comfort of a Mercedes S350d or turning on…

It’s September 2024, and the biggest tech event of the year just happened in Cupertino. It used to be called “One More Thing”. This event turns everyone around the world into tech enthusiasts, shifting dinner table conversations from fruits to the latest Apple devices. Like every innovation, Apple is late to the AI party, but whenever they join, they come fully prepared with no work-in-progress tech. This also means that foldable smartphones will have to wait another year or two, and lately, improvements to the iPhone have been incremental without anything groundbreaking. For the average user, not much changes in…

This independence special issue is not just a celebration of our past achievements but a forward-looking exploration of how technology and innovation continue to drive our independence and our future. In a world where the lines between work and personal life are increasingly blurred, technology emerges as both a challenge and a solution. It’s astonishing how digital tools and platforms are reshaping the traditional 9-to-5, offering flexibility yet demanding new forms of discipline. Infact, top folks at Linkedin have quoted that by 2034, 9-to-5 will be an obsolete model. Let’s say it will gain independence, which is the theme of…

A strong team is equally vital to the success of a start-up or business Last month was truly special as India won the T20 World Cup after 13 years, marking an incredible victory! This achievement was a testament to the power of teamwork and determination, demonstrating how well the team played together to reach their goal. This triumph is a reminder that a good team is crucial for success in every path of life. What a win! The whole country was celebrating on the streets, a reminder of the earlier World Cup Win in 2011. I watched it live, and…

Building a PC can be a challenging yet thrilling experience. It’s like assembling a high-stakes jigsaw puzzle where every piece impacts performance. There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of slotting in that GPU, hearing the click of RAM sticks sitting into place, or mastering the delicate art of cable management. You might question why we opted for a custom-built PC over a laptop or a Mac Studio. The answer is simple: bang for the buck. In the world of tech, specs are king, and our Custom-built Gaming and VFX Editing PC offers more power per rupee than pre-assembled laptops and…

Innovation can surprise you, and the pace of it can also knock you down, 5 years back, did any of us imagine that one day you would be driving a car running on electricity like this BMW iX1 and could be ok with putting your luxury car on a charge like your smartphone every night. Similarly, a smartphone whose back panel could light up could be a designer piece with heavyweight specs, yet inexpensive like the Tecno Pova 6 Pro – another name for innovation. Tesla had started the EV bandwagon long back, but when the German luxury trio of…

In the Bhagavad Gita, it includes 18 chapters. It teaches effective leadership built on the foundation of self-awareness, discipline, and stoicism. We are celebrating our 18th Anniversary, and the number 18 holds significance in various cultures, religions, and contexts. It often symbolises positive concepts such as life, luck, and prosperity. I was looking back at Exhibit’s incredible 18-year journey since 2005, which transcends from print through digital to AI. Here are some notable aspects of the number 18 that make it fascinating. In Judaism, the number 18 is the numerical value of the Hebrew word “chai,” which means “life.” It…

EV, Luxury EV, Luxury EV SUV; What to buy, Why to buy, When to buy. If you are looking for the answers to these, you have landed on the right page. We have zeroed down on the BMW iX1 and Volvo C40 recharge, which actually make a lot of practical sense and are priced around the Rs 65 lakh mark. The next best options are the Mercedes EQE SUV, the Audi Q8 e-tron or the BMW iX on the other side of the crore mark. Now let’s answer the first question: which of the two is for you? Watch out…

Will we have normal conversations, or will a version of AI dial the concerned person and have a conversation on my behalf? Did you know that Yahoo could have bought Google for only USD 1 million in 1998? However, they failed to see how Google would disrupt and, in 2024, reach a market capitalisation of USD 1.88 trillion. Then Microsoft wanted to buy Yahoo in 2008 for USD 45 billion, but they rejected it all. Now, Yahoo is only worth USD 1.26 billion today. It must be paining the stakeholders at Yahoo on these missed opportunities or rather “Screw Ups”,…

Life is one big exploration, and we all explore the unknown and try to discover our purpose in life. Only a few get it, the rest go through it as a ritual going through its five main phases of birth | infancy | childhood | adulthood and dying. To quote Erikson’s model of human development, which includes: Stage 1 – Infancy, trust versus mistrust; Stage 2 – Toddlerhood, autonomy versus shame and doubt; Stage 3 – Preschool years, initiative versus guilt; Stage 4 – Early school years, industry versus inferiority; Stage 5 – Adolescence and Identity If explored well, life…

This year, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series to the Oneplus 12 series and more phones with numerics attached to them bring some amazing hardware and software solutions to the smartphone mix The tech mecca Consumer Electronic Show was an experience with thousands of innovative ideas across the show floor.

The interview is worth piling a few brain cells. A surprisingly good amount of launches at the start of the…

Only a few companies that started 100+ years ago and still exist, survive and thrive today Another year has been struck off, and the year ending with 23 will not come back in our lifetime; 2023 is gone, and for 2123, 99.99% of those reading this will not be able to see the calendar change. Maybe bio hacks and medical tech can prolong us, but there will surely be your AI avatar, with voice, body and clone fitted into a human-robot or some online cloud for your family to live with. It is possible to have a robot with the…

Our cover is graced by the indefatigable P.V. Sindhu, an emblem of resilience and excellence in the realm of badminton. It’s the festive month of the year but with AQI levels so high, bursting crackers will look like declaring war against humanity. The Air, which is still somewhat breathable, will not remain so if we don’t do our bit to arrest global warming; the superpower up there has been warning us with floods and earthquakes every now and then in some parts of the world, so we chin up and take responsibility. Mars is still inhospitable, if we collectively screw…

We recently celebrated the 77th independence day, and in my opinion, this year’s celebration was not just a reminder of the struggles and sacrifices of our forefathers but also a testament to the progress and innovation that has propelled our nation forward.

Infosys, one of India’s tech giants, has grown to colossal proportions, redefining the global IT landscape.

In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, it’s easy for the younger generation to take the cutting-edge gadgets and innovations that surround them for granted. The digital age has brought forth a plethora of devices and advancements that have seamlessly integrated into our daily lives.

The Arctic is melting, summers are getting hotter and longer while winters continue to touch and go. So this time around, we have dedicated the April issue to sustainability.
