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.

Durga Puja dhakis preserve Bengal's rich heritage
Watching mesmerised as the purohit at a friend's Durga Puja rhythmically waved the silver oil lamp with multiple wicks before the goddess, and then in succession, a silver camphor lamp, incense sticks, red cloth, conch shell, flowers and a silver-handled fly-whisk while incessantly ringing a bell with his other hand, I noticed that the dhak-drum beats changed subtly at every phase of the arati. For the first time I figured the dhaki (drummer) was doing a duet with the priest.A few days later, an old friend recounted that she was sitting in a puja pandal in the longish, quiet interregnum between the end of bhog (community lunch to partake of what was also offered to the Goddess) and the beginning of preparation for the evening arati, when the dhaki suddenly struck up a beat with his drum. The pandal was empty, with even the priest and helpers probably catching forty winks before the evening's prayers. So, who was this serenade for?Also Read: India lifted 496 million people out of poverty between 2011 and 2023, says World BankFor Her, of course, the drummer told her with a smile. I have respectfully reminded her that it is time to awaken. I have also drummed out the message that evening arati will soon commence. He then proceeded to tell her that dhakis have many different beats, each for a specific aspect of the puja. To uninitiated ears, they may sound like just any set of percussive tunes, but their 'bols' (sounds) are like mantras, perfectly complementing the priest's incantations.Like most, if not all, Bengalis, my friend and I love the heart-thumping sound of West Bengal's traditional large dhak drums. They not only joyfully herald the advent of the Goddess long before she can actually be seen arriving at her maternal home, they also devotedly accompany every ritual of Her worship for four days and dolefully sound her inevitable retreat: the long journey back to her husband Shiva in the Himalayas. They are her faithful minstrels.Also Read: India to conduct population census from January 25 to February 28, 2027; March 1 set as reference dateTherefore, the men (and now also women) whose strong hands and arms provide the rhythmic vocabulary through skilled use of two bamboo canes, are very crucial to Durga Puja celebrations. Yet very few of the thousands who flock to the pandals to admire and seek Her blessings pay much attention to the dhakis and what their drums are actually saying. Few note the change in beat and cadence. For many, they are just background music, a kind of white noise.Women dhakis, of late, have got a lot of publicity in many Indian cities, with many puja committees specifically seeking them out - often to enhance their inclusive credentials. Not many go further and ask those women (and men) the significance of the beats they play when, and why. My perceptive friend is an exception. And the answers she got were eye-openers. Their's is a labour of love, time they take out annually from their life as farmers to play for Her.The semiotic language they serenade Her with has been passed down generations, and even the youngest dhakis are hopefully conversant with it too. It is not enough for them to simply know all the rhythmic beats; they must also remember what to play when and why. Before the advent of modern telecommunications made so many traditional ways of sending messages over long distances redundant, drums were the equivalent of the town crier if not the telegraph and radio too.Every aspect of religio-cultural events like Durga Puja has relevance, even if most of us scarcely notice most of them. The semiotic language of the dhakis and drums are one such. Their profession is seeing a revival so younger people are taking it up, but many other puja-associated arts and crafts are down to their last practitioners. Those who appreciate and understand these facets of intangible heritage are even fewer. It's never too late to listen, ask and learn....

Rahul Gandhi attacks govt on IDBI bank sale row; FM Sitharaman hits back
Amid the IDBI bank disinvestment row, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has expressed solidarity with the employees and questioned the government's decision to sell off the profitable public bank to a Canadian firm. The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha asserted that public banks are not assets to be sold off, they are tools to build the nation. Hitting back, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the Congress used banks and financial institutions as personal entities and pressured bank employees to extend loans at their whim, bypassing prudent lending norms. She also cited several instances from the Congress-led government, including the removal of SBI chairman R K Talwar in 1976 under Indira Gandhi's rule after he allegedly refused to give in to political pressure to relax lending norms for a company linked to Sanjay Gandhi. In a letter addressed to members of the IDBI bank family on Thursday, Gandhi said that in March last year, a group of employees of the bank came to meet him i

Jammu, Oct 30: Independent MLA from Surankote, Chowdhary Mohammed Akram has called upon all elected representatives, particularly members of the National Conference and independent legislators, to stand united behind the government led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah at this crucial juncture. In a press statement, he said that the present government was not merely an elected administration committed to development but also represented the secular values, pluralistic traditions and distinct regional identity of Jammu and Kashmir. Akram said that divisive forces were attempting to create confusion, mistrust and political instability among the people. Such attempts must be resisted collectively in the larger interest of Jammu and Kashmir, he stated. At this critical time, our priority should be to strengthen democratic institutions, uphold secular values and work collectively for the aspirations of our people. Political differences should not be allowed to undermine the broader interests of Jammu and Kashmir, he said. Akram further urged elected representatives to rise above narrow political considerations and extend constructive support to the Omar Abdullah-led government to ensure stability, development and the protection of the regions unique identity.

Andhra Pradesh SEC has become TDP
Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders on Friday strongly criticised the State Election Commission (SEC) for functioning as a puppet of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu-led government, ignoring hundreds of complaints and failing to protect democracy during the local-body elections.

Madhya Pradesh repealed over 900 obsolete laws: CM Yadav
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Oct 30 (IANS) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Friday said the state government had repealed more than 900 obsolete laws, some dating back to 1812 and 1817, as part of efforts to make the legal framework relevant to present-day requirements. Addressing a programme in Jabalpur during his meeting with Madhya Pradesh High Court Chief Justice Justice Alpesh Yashwant Kogje, Yadav credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership for initiating reforms to free the country's legal system from outdated colonial-era laws. I wish to express my gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his leadership in freeing the Indian judicial system from outdated and irrelevant colonial-era laws and providing it with a new direction in keeping with the needs of the present times, Yadav said. He said several laws had lost their relevance with changing times and circumstances and needed to be removed to ensure that the legal framework served contemporary requirements and public interest. Highlighting the importance of democratic institutions, the Chief Minister said the judiciary should function independently while elected governments must discharge their responsibilities within the constitutional framework. The greatest strength of our democracy lies in the fact that the judiciary functions independently in discharging its responsibilities, while elected governments perform their duties within the constitutional framework, he said. Referring to the political and democratic situations in neighbouring Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan, Yadav said India's democratic values and constitutional system reflected the strength of the world's largest democracy. He said the contribution of judges and the country's judicial tradition had played an important role in preserving India's democratic dignity. The Chief Minister also congratulated Chief Justice Kogje and described Jabalpur as a city with distinctive natural and spiritual significance. Referring to the Narmada River and the marble rocks of Bhedaghat, he said the city had a unique natural beauty and held a special place in the cultural and spiritual heritage of Madhya Pradesh. The programme was part of Yadav's Jabalpur visit on Friday. He was scheduled to meet the Chief Justice at Circuit House No. 1, followed by a dinner hosted by the Advocate General's office at Hotel Shawn Elize.

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.
