Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], July 26: Anyone who’s lived through a summer in Rajasthan knows it’s not for the faint of heart, or for fragile tech. The sun doesn’t just shine here; it dominates. Surfaces sizzle, electronics wilt, and solar panels? Well, most of them learn their limits pretty quickly.

But on a sweltering day this July in Jaipur, one company stepped into the spotlight and said, “We’re ready.” Solex Energy Limited, a name already trusted across India’s solar circles, chose the ITC Rajputana Hotel as the stage for something far bigger than a product launch. It was a declaration: solar done right, for Rajasthan.

A Launch That Felt Like a Commitment

The meet was attended by key partners, banking representatives, and Solex’s leadership team, including Shri Chetan Shah, Chairman & Managing Director, Shri Piyush Chandak, Whole-time Director, and Shri Vipul Shah, Director

“We’ve built these modules for Rajasthan,” Chetan Shah said without ceremony. “Not just solar panels that work in ideal conditions, but ones that thrive in the real ones.”

What followed were the unveilings of two products, each tailored to a specific pain point Rajasthan faces: intense UV, fine dust, brutal heat, and inconsistent light angles due to haze or sand.

Meet the Modules: Tapi R and the Tapi Series

First came the Tapi R, a panel unlike anything currently in the Indian market. It’s India’s first rectangular cell solar module, made using N-Type TOPCon technology. While that might sound like engineering jargon, here’s the kicker, it pushes out between 595 and 625 watts, with 23.14% efficiency packed into 132 half-cut rectangular cells.

But what stood out wasn’t just performance stats. The panel is built to keep performing, morning, noon, and even when skies are dusty or light’s uneven. With a 12-year product warranty and a 30-year linear performance guarantee, it’s clear Solex isn’t playing the short game.

Then there’s the Tapi Series, a dual-glass N-Type module built with 144 half-cut cells. This one’s a tank. It delivers 570 to 595 watts and 23.03% efficiency, and the dual-glass design means it handles Rajasthan’s notorious heat and UV like a champ. There’s also improved resistance to Potential Induced Degradation (PID), a major issue in high-irradiance areas.

Put simply: these modules were made to shrug off the desert and keep going.

Why Rajasthan? Why Now?

It’s not hard to guess. Rajasthan is India’s solar capital in waiting. It receives the most sunlight, has large open spaces, and the state government is backing solar in a big way. But as Vipul Shah noted on the sidelines, “Modules that work fine elsewhere often struggle here. Heat, dust, instability, they take their toll.”

That’s where Solex is betting big, not just on tech, but on local presence. The company’s actively expanding its partner network and team in Rajasthan, ensuring not just sales, but service, support, and real consultation. And they’re looking for folks who align with their build-and-support mindset, not just transactional players.

“Our industry doesn’t need more sellers, it needs more solvers,” Shah added.

What Sets Solex Apart

Founded in 1995 and based in Surat, Solex isn’t just another solar startup with a flashy pitch deck. It’s a company that’s weathered multiple market cycles, built a 1.5 GW manufacturing facility in Tadkeshwar, and listed itself on NSE Emerge (code: SOLEX) with pride.

Its solar modules are not only compliant with Indian standards, but also certified for international exports, already powering homes and businesses in other countries. And yet, their pitch isn’t “we export”, it’s “we understand.”

This human-first, region-sensitive approach is why partners keep coming back. The team doesn’t just sell hardware; they help EPCs and clients design better systems, pick better configurations, and avoid costly mistakes. It’s what old-school professionals still call “doing business with integrity.”

Solar That Understands Where It’s Installed

As the event wrapped up, one EPC contractor in the crowd, someone who’d clearly seen a few cycles, remarked, “Finally, someone’s building for Rajasthan, not just shipping to it.” That stuck.

Because solar is no longer about slick promises and PowerPoint decks. It’s about modules that last 25 years in real weather, support teams that pick up the phone, and companies that still believe in regional nuance.

Solex’s new modules may not make headlines in Mumbai or Delhi tomorrow, but they’re going to change things on the ground in Barmer, Bikaner, and Bhilwara, and that’s where the real revolution lies.

New Delhi [India], July 25: In a major step towards creating egalitarian access to quality engineering education in India, tech billionaire and seasoned venture capitalist Prasanna Sankar announced a scholarship potentially worth up to ₹11 lakh for students enrolling in the Scaler School of Technology (SST). The scholarship aims to allow high-potential students to pursue their Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence ambitions with no concern for finances or the need to compromise on college or specialisation.

The Prasanna Sankar Scholarship is available to students taking JEE, BITSAT, SAT, or Olympiads (IOI, IMO) in 2025. It’s intended for high achievers potentially limited by their available choices or finances. Every year, countless capable students are forced to compromise, settling for the wrong branch or the wrong college despite their previous successes, and falsely believing those are their only options. With so few seats available at IITs/NITs, potential is routinely squandered. Candidates have to secure admission to SST by clearing the Scaler National Scholarship and Entrance Test (NSET) and subsequent interviews to be considered eligible for the grant.

Prasanna wants these students to know: your journey isn’t over. He believes SST offers the most future-ready tech curriculum — shaped by industry leaders and focused on real outcomes. Through the Luminaries Club (a rigorous, invite-only space where 23 handpicked SST students learn to think like the world’s top 1%.), he’s seen the quality, ambition, and mentorship at SST — and this scholarship is his way of helping more students access it.

The scholarship structure is tiered to reward academic excellence across major national and international entrance exams, while also promoting gender inclusivity. For JEE 2025 aspirants, waivers begin at 20% for male candidates scoring between the 95–97 percentile, and go up to 60% for those above the 99.5 percentile; female students receive an additional 5% in every band, making it up to 65% at the highest tier. Similar slabs apply to BITSAT scores, starting at 20% for scores between 230 and 259 and increasing to 50% for scores above 310, with females again receiving a 5% bonus across the board. SAT scorers are also eligible; those scoring 1450–1500 receive a 20% waiver (25% for females), while a perfect score (1550–1600) secures up to 40% (45% for females).

Students demonstrating excellence in Mathematics — such as scoring in the 99th percentile and above in the JEE Math section — can earn up to 30% (35% for females). Olympiad achievers who’ve represented India in the IOI or IMO are awarded a full 100% tuition waiver, while those who reach the national rounds (INOI/INMO) are eligible for a 50% (55% for females) tuition waiver.

Announcing the initiative, Prasanna Sankar shared that his journey—from a young coder in India to co-founding a $10 billion unicorn in Silicon Valley—was made possible by timely access to the right opportunities. Through this scholarship, he aims to offer the same to India’s next generation of tech talent.

A NIT Trichy Alumni in Computer Science, Prasanna has attained global stature by ranking #1 on TopCoder India and being a two-time finalist in both Google Code Jam and the ACM ICPC World Finals. Then, after having engineering roles at Microsoft and an internship role at Google, he co-founded Rippling in 2016, now a globally recognised unicorn in workforce management. In 2023, he launched 0xPPL, a decentralized social platform for the crypto-native world. His passion for supporting brave ideas and emerging tech talents makes this scholarship an easy extension of his vision.

In addition to providing students with financial help, the scholarship program is a cornerstone of SST’s mission to build an outcome-driven tech program in India. SST combines a rigorous academic program in Computer Science and AI with industry exposure, mentorship from top engineers, and hands-on experience with real-world projects. The curriculum is crafted by over 100 tech leaders from companies worldwide and is regularly refreshed to reflect current industry developments.

SST has already garnered significant publicity for its results over the past year. In their second year, SST students are already securing global internships in more than seven countries, which is not typical even in the best engineering colleges in India. This early exposure to the world helps students develop networks and obtain experiences beyond the classroom. SST has stated a final placement rate of 96.3% with the top offer being ₹2 Lakh per month.

Its parent company, Scaler, reports that it has successfully placed more learners into Amazon than all the IITs combined in 2021. This feat speaks to the organisation’s emphasis on practical skills and industry readiness.

The involvement of globally influential individuals in technology further enhances the institution’s credibility. Arvind Neelakantan, one of the co-creators of ChatGPT, was on the SST campus, reinforcing the school’s reputation as a hub for cutting-edge learning and international collaboration. SST is not just developing engineers — it is developing engineering-focused tech leaders who can contribute to the world’s most critical innovations.

The Prasanna Sankar Scholarship exemplifies SST’s commitment to making world-class tech education available to all, regardless of background or the ability to pay. Backed by industry leaders, it’s more than just aid; it’s a belief in the potential of India’s youth.

While SST continues to progress with this kind of initiative, it is redefining a modern engineering institute: Inclusivity, global collaboration, and outcomes-oriented. SST has already seen a 240% increase this year.  – and with the last leg ongoing, SST is wrapping up admissions for the 2025 batch soon. Apply for Scaler School of Technology here

New Delhi [India], July 23: Mr Sanjeev Kwatra, a renowned industry expert and motivational speaker, urges India’s youth to balance ambition with peace, adopt mindful practices, and reflect deeply before imitating Western ideals.

In an era dominated by competition, stress, and the constant race for more, renowned industry expert and motivational speaker, Mr. Sanjeev Kwatra offers a timely call for introspection. Through a deeply reflective message, he emphasises that the challenges facing Indian society today, especially among the youth, stem not from the erosion of values but from their transformation, misuse, and misunderstanding. “The term ‘values’ itself becomes questionable when we say they are declining. If they are truly values, they don’t decline — they evolve,” he explains.

A Shift in Perspective, Not a Decline in Values

Western societies are often viewed as examples of cultural decline. However, he challenges this notion by highlighting the calmness, order, and self-care that many Western countries exhibit. People there value solitude, connect with nature, take regular vacations, and nurture a reading culture things that support mental and emotional well-being.

Meanwhile, India is witnessing a growing disconnect from its own value systems. “We’ve become trapped in constant utility,” he observes. From chasing salaries to increasing productivity, the rhythm of Indian urban life leaves little room for rest, reflection, or personal growth. The focus has shifted from being to doing and often, doing too much.

Greed, Growth & the Misplaced Pursuit of Wealth

Mr. Sanjeev Kwatra addresses a core concern: the rising greed masked as ambition. He likens the uncontrolled desire for money to overeating, just as the body can only consume a limited amount of food, the pursuit of wealth should also have natural limits. But in today’s world, wealth has become a number game with no finish line.

“It’s not that earning money is wrong. It only becomes harmful when it brings stress and robs us of peace,” he explains. He advocates earning through balance, making enough to feel secure, but not at the cost of well-being or personal relationships.

Youth and the Art of Balance

Speaking directly to students and young professionals, Mr. Sanjeev Kwatra emphasises that youth is the time to build not just careers but character. He warns against equating money with success. “Money should be seen as a tool, not a target,” he says. At this formative stage, chasing financial goals too early can dilute intellectual clarity and emotional strength.

He encourages young minds to seek meaning rather than merely outcomes. Books, physical activity, and hobbies should take priority over scrolling on mobile phones. Laptops, he adds, are better tools for learning, while phones often breed distraction. The focus should be on mindful use of resources, not mindless consumption.

Time Is Life: Learn to Use It Mindfully

A large part of imbalance, he believes, comes from poor time management. “Time is life itself. Wasting time is wasting life,” he remarks. He criticises the passive overconsumption of entertainment, especially television and social media, which often serve as escapes but end up stealing hours.

As a remedy, he recommends age-old Indian practices like Tratak—a yogic eye exercise that improves focus and cleanses visual toxins. Simple, practical disciplines like this, when practised daily, help restore inner calm and increase clarity. True time management, he adds, isn’t just about scheduling. It’s about discerning how much time to give to each activity and ensuring it’s adding value, not just passing time.

Stress and Body Awareness: The Need to Let Go

Mr Sanjeev Kwatra also addresses the silent epidemic of youth stress, often intensified by parental pressure and societal expectations. Goals are important, he agrees, but obsessively clinging to them is counterproductive. He offers a helpful analogy: “If you have to travel 500 kilometres, don’t fixate on the entire distance. Focus on the next 100 or 150. Break it down.” This step-by-step mindset reduces anxiety and helps build momentum.

To support stress relief, he recommends Jalandhara Bandha, a yogic practice where the body is fully relaxed and thoughts are released. It promotes lightness, reduces tension, and supports mental clarity. These practices, when incorporated regularly, can transform the youth experience from one of pressure to one of purpose.

India at a Cultural Crossroads

According to him, the core issue facing modern India isn’t that we’ve followed the West, it’s that we’ve done so without discernment. “If we had adopted their culture with understanding, this wouldn’t be a problem. The lack of intellectual reflection is the real issue,” he explains.

Today, he believes India stands at a pivotal moment: either continue down a path of blind imitation and burnout, or thoughtfully integrate progress with traditional wisdom. The choice, he says, must be conscious.

A Call to Reflect and Reclaim

Mr. Sanjeev Kwatra’s message is a profound yet practical appeal, not to reject growth, technology, or global influence, but to engage with them consciously and selectively. India’s youth, he says, must learn to balance ambition with inner peace, movement with stillness, and consumption with contentment.

“Small shifts in daily thought and practice can lead to deeply fulfilling lives. We don’t need to slow down—we need to wake up,” he concludes.
