Startup bug bites fewer IIT, IIM alumni

New Delhi: Fewer graduates from Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are taking the entrepreneurial path in 2026 compared to last year, although India's appetite for startups remains strong.Only 79 IIT alumni and 20 IIM alumni launched new tech startups between January and August this year, compared to 307 IIT graduates and 71 IIM graduates who founded startups in the entire 2025, according to Tracxn data collated for ET. The platform tracks only the year of incorporation for tech startups, so it does not have comparable January-August 2025 data.Also Read: Not Just AI - How soft skills are becoming key to getting hiredFurther, according to Tracxn data, 6,353 tech startups were founded until August this year, compared with 3,969 in the whole of 2025.The increase in the number of startups being founded is a positive sign, but the real question is who is making that transition. The fact that we are not seeing a meaningful increase in founders from the IITs and IIMs suggests there is still a large, untapped pool of talent, said Vikram Gupta, founder and managing partner, IvyCap Ventures.Also Read: Centre to tap IITs, NITs for nuclear tech courses to power India's 100 GW dream135376542AI & Layoffs as Decisive FactorsIf India wants to build the next generation of enduring companies, entrepreneurship must become a more viable career choice for a much wider talent pool, Gupta said.According to Saakshi Gera, managing director at Kedaara Capital, startups are increasing largely because artificial intelligence (AI) and no-code tools have dramatically reduced the cost of launching a venture, while layoffs have made entrepreneurship a more viable fallback option.But volume isn't quality. Investors continue to prioritise sustainable unit economics, and India's most credentialed talent is increasingly choosing safer, AI-adjacent jobs instead, Gera said.More IIT graduates take the entrepreneurial route than IIM alumni. India had 196,704 tech startups as of August 2026, according to Tracxn. Of these, 6,147 had at least one IIT founder, while 2,102 had at least one IIM founder.IIT alumni continue to account for a substantially larger share of startup founders than IIM alumni, which is consistent with the larger IIT alumni base and the strong engineering and deep-tech orientation of many technology startups, said Neha Singh, cofounder of Tracxn. The technical founders have the tendency to initiate ventures early, often complemented by business expertise from IIM graduates or other professionals as companies scale.For the study, the market intelligence platform considered alumni from IITs including Bombay, Delhi, Kharagpur, Kanpur, Madras, Roorkee, Jodhpur, Hyderabad, Guwahati, BHU (Varanasi), Mandi, Bhubaneswar and ISM Dhanbad, as well as IIMs at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Lucknow, Udaipur, Nagpur, Kashipur, Sirmaur and Sambalpur. According to Tracxn, it takes time to fully incorporate a company formally. The full incorporation figures as well as the final share for startups founded in 2026 will only be known later. This may rise to some extent, said Singh.

Three linked to Pakistan's Shehzad Bhatti arrested in Lucknow for plot to kill security personnel

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 30 (IANS) The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Friday foiled an alleged plot to carry out targeted killing of police or military officials in Lucknow by arresting three accused linked to the banned Shehzad Bhatti Network (SBN) of Pakistan, officials said. Police said that a juvenile has also been taken into custody. Preliminary interrogation of the arrested accused revealed that they had reached Lucknow on the instructions of a Pakistani handler known as 'Rana Bhai'. They were allegedly tasked with killing a police or military personnel and sending a video of the act to the handler. The ATS recovered a foreign-made pistol and 20 foreign-made cartridges from the accused. According to ADG, Law and Order, Amitabh Yash, intelligence inputs indicated that members of the banned Shehzad Bhatti Network were using youths from Punjab to carry out terrorist activities in India and target army and police establishments. During the investigation, it was found that gangster Gagandeep Singh and his associates were in contact with Pakistani handler Rana Bhai. Acting on this information, the ATS arrested the four individuals on Friday. The arrested accused have been identified as Gagandeep Singh, 26, of Amritsar, Rajat Kumar, 19, and Krish, 21, of Gurdaspur (Punjab). A juvenile has also been placed under police supervision. During preliminary questioning, the accused further revealed that they had been promised Rs 3 lakh for carrying out the assignment. They said that they left Amritsar on October 27, travelled via Delhi, and reached Lucknow around midnight on October 29. The accused remained in contact with Rana Bhai through Instagram and WhatsApp. After arriving in Lucknow, the arrested individuals reportedly recorded a video of Lucknow Railway Station and sent it to the handler as instructed. During questioning, it also emerged that Rana Bhai had told them that weapons and ammunition would be supplied from Pakistan. Upon reaching Lucknow, the accused were allegedly provided with a pistol and cartridges through a local contact. The handler also transferred Rs 2,500 to each on two occasions for their expenses. They were allegedly promised that after completing the operation, they would be assisted to escape to Nepal. Preliminary investigations by the ATS have found WhatsApp accounts operated through virtual numbers and communication with foreign numbers on the accused's mobile phones. Examination of the phones also revealed suspicious chats, videos, and information related to reconnaissance of sensitive installations. Investigators believe the locations of these sites were shared with the Pakistani handler. A case has been registered at the ATS Police Station in Lucknow under Case No. 16/2026 under Sections 152 and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, Sections 3/25 of the Arms Act, and Sections 18 and 38 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The ATS is now investigating other individuals linked to the conspiracy, local collaborators, the weapon supply network, and financial transactions connected to the case. Police are also expected to seek custody remand of the accused for further interrogation.

HM Amit Shah challenges Rahul Gandhi to debate 'vote chori' allegations in special Parliament session

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 30 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to participate in a special session of Parliament to discuss the Opposition's allegations of 'vote chori'. He asserted that that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ready for a detailed debate on the issue. Addressing the newly constituted Uttar Pradesh BJP Executive Committee in Lucknow, Union Minister Shah said the Central government is willing to convene a special session to discuss allegations of electoral irregularities and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. I am ready to call a special session of Parliament to discuss vote chori. But Rahul baba will never agree. He will never discuss the issue in Parliament but will create a nuisance on the street, the Union Home Minister added. He also challenged Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav to bring all their allegations against the Election Commission to Parliament for discussion. The allegations against the Election Commission are baseless. They (Opposition) don't want a discussion; they want drama on the streets, the Union Home Minister alleged. Amit Shah's remarks come amid escalating tensions between the ruling BJP and the Opposition over the SIR exercise and allegations of manipulation of electoral rolls. The INDIA bloc has announced a series of protests, including a public impeachment-style event targeting Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and a mega rally at Delhi's Ramlila Ground against what it describes as the demolition of democracy. The Opposition has accused the Election Commission of conducting the electoral roll revision exercise in a manner that could benefit the BJP. The poll body and the ruling party have faced sustained criticism from opposition leaders over the issue. Drawing a sporting analogy, Amit Shah accused the Congress and Samajwadi Party leadership of blaming electoral institutions after losing elections rather than strengthening their political organisations. After losing the match, they are blaming the umpire and alleging vote theft, he said.

MEETHE MEIN KYA HAI is a sweet family entertainer that works due to its relatable moments Movie Review: MEETHE MEIN KYA HAI is a sweet, heartwarming family entertainer.

Star Cast: Ritwik Bhowmik, Rohini Hattangady, Ayesha Raza, Shivika Rishi Director: Radhika Bansal Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Review Synopsis: MEETHE MEIN KYA HAI is the story of a family reunion. Jai Agarwal (Ritwik Bhowmik) is an architect whose wife Tara (Kanikka Kapur) passed away two years ago in a car accident. He is yet to move on from her demise. He has distanced himself from his family and informs them that he won't be able to attend the Diwali get-together at his nani's (Rohini Hattangady) residence in Lucknow. However, his sister Sana (Dalai) calls him and reveals that she has secretly got married. Hence, she requests him to be present when she introduces her husband Karam (Vikram Bakshi) to the family at the Diwali gathering. Jai reluctantly agrees and reaches his nani's house, where he meets his mother Amrita (Ayesha Raza), father Ajay (Gaurav Sharma), mami Preeti (Tarana Raja), mama Rishab (Abhay Kaul) and their son Sid (Ayuushman Ghai). He also bumps into his nani's 13-year-old neighbour, Meera (Shivika Rishi), and the two strike up an unlikely friendship. A day later, Sana and Karam arrive and, as expected, all hell breaks loose. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Story Review: Radhika Bansal's story is relatable and sweet. Radhika Bansal's screenplay is breezy and peppered with heartwarming and emotional moments. However, the writing is weak in places. Radhika Bansal's dialogues are realistic yet entertaining. Radhika Bansal's direction is quite good for a first-timer. At a time when even experienced filmmakers struggle to get their humour right, MEETHE MEIN KYA HAI has moments that genuinely raise laughs. This is especially true in the initial portions, when Karam is introduced to the family. Meera's habit of pretending not to listen to conversations is also amusing. The film has a runtime of just 119 minutes and doesn't bore even for a moment. Moreover, the conflicts, joys and sorrows are rooted in everyday life and feel like situations that could happen to any one of us. Radhika maintains this relatability from start to finish. On the flipside, certain developments don't seem organic. In fact, a few conflicts appear to have been added just for the sake of it. For instance, Amrita, Ajay, Preeti and Rishab's insistence that nani should move to Jaipur instead of living alone feels forced. Jai accompanying Meera to her friend's house also comes out of nowhere. Individually, the scene is sweet, but it doesn't fit into the overall narrative. The same applies to the song Ichak Dana Bichak Dana. Another odd aspect are the scenes in which characters spill milk, wine and oil. These moments feel childish and out of place in an otherwise realistic film. Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Review Performances: Ritwik Bhowmik suits the part to a T. He delivers a fine performance as a man who is secretly grieving but is also trying his best to enjoy a much-needed family reunion. Rohini Hattangady is adorable, and only an actor of her calibre could have pulled off this role. Shivika Rishi is the surprise package of the film. She plays a well-written character and elevates it further with her performance. Ayesha Raza is slightly over-the-top, as required by her character. Gaurav Sharma, Tarana Raja and Abhay Kaul lend able support. Dalai and Vikram Bakshi leave a strong impression, especially the latter in the scene where he gets high. Ayuushman Ghai is okay and has limited scope. Kanikka Kapur, last seen in BATWARA 1947, is decent. Meethe Mein Kya Hai movie music and other technical aspects: Amit Trivedi's music is situational, but none of the songs 'Chad De Chad De', 'Karam Farma De', 'Ichak Dana Bichak Dana' and 'Jagmaga' are likely to have a long shelf life. Amit Trivedi's background score is much better. Piyush Puty's cinematography is satisfactory. Natasha Gauba's production design is authentic. Theia Tekchandaney and Ayushi Jain's costumes are realistic yet glamorous. Neha Mehra's editing is functional. Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, MEETHE MEIN KYA HAI is a sweet, heartwarming family entertainer that works due to its relatable moments, genuine humour and fine performances. The film is arriving on Netflix with negligible hype and little buzz surrounding its release. However, thanks to its feel-good appeal and universal theme of family relationships, it has the potential to gradually find its audience through positive word of mouth.

UP BJP leaders say Amit Shahs visit to boost party workers ahead of 2027 polls

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 30 (IANS) BJP leaders on Friday said Union Home Minister Amit Shahs participation in the partys Uttar Pradesh State Working Committee meeting would boost the morale of workers and provide guidance ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. Speaking to IANS, UP Minister Narendra Kumar Kashyap said HM Shahs visit would energise party workers, while discussions would focus on preparing a comprehensive strategy for the upcoming elections. The visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to the Bharatiya Janata Partys State Working Committee meeting will boost the enthusiasm of party workers. Discussions will also focus on formulating a comprehensive strategy for the 2027 Assembly elections, with the aim of forming the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh for the third consecutive time, he said. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, while speaking to the media, said, It is the Bharatiya Janata Party's Working Committee meeting. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is like a guardian to all of us, will inaugurate the meeting and provide fresh energy and guidance to the party's organisational structure in the state. Rajya Sabha member Geeta Shakya said the meeting was the first State Working Committee gathering following the partys reconstitution. Today is the first working committee meeting following the reconstitution of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Our leader and guide, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, is joining us today. We are excited and eagerly awaiting his arrival to receive his guidance, she said. BJP MLA Abhay Singh said HM Shah was being warmly welcomed in Lucknow and across the state. He added that the Home Ministers visit was expected to bring fresh decisions and direction for the party. The Bharatiya Janata Party is not making any new preparations; it works round the clock, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, throughout the year, he said. BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said the party regularly organises working committee meetings, study sessions and training programmes because it functions as an organisation rather than a family-run outfit. This distinctive organisational functioning is what makes the BJP a party with a difference, he said. BJP MLA Prateek Bhushan Singh also expressed enthusiasm over HM Shahs participation, saying party leaders and office-bearers were looking forward to his guidance as preparations for the 2027 Assembly elections gathered momentum. Amit Shah will address the Uttar Pradesh BJP's state executive committee meeting in Lucknow on Friday, as the party steps up its organisational preparations and begins gearing up for the 2027 Assembly elections. The meeting will review the party's organisational activities and discuss its future action plan, with a focus on strengthening the party's grassroots network and improving coordination among its leaders and workers across the state. The official X account of the Office of Union Home Minister announced the programme on Thursday, saying, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri @AmitShah ji will address the Uttar Pradesh BJP's state executive meeting in Lucknow tomorrow. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, both Deputy CMs, senior state leaders and members of the state executive committee are expected to attend the meeting. The deliberations are likely to focus on organisational preparedness, the party's election strategy and plans for the 2027 Assembly polls. The BJP is expected to review its organisational structure and discuss ways to strengthen its presence at the grassroots level ahead of the electoral contest. The meeting assumes significance as the party looks to accelerate its organisational activities across Uttar Pradesh and ensure better coordination between its state leadership and workers at the grassroots level.
