Cyclist Ranjith Inspires Hyderabad at Pre-Tour Meetup Ahead of Global Bicycle Expedition

Before embarking on his ambitious World Bicycle Tour, Warangal-born cyclist Ranjith, popularly known as Ranjith on Wheels, hosted a special community meetup at Marri Krishna Hall, Tarnaka. The event, held successfully, drew cycling enthusiasts, young changemakers, and sustainability advocates from across Hyderabad.

Organized by the Sri Rajamatha Foundation, SS Foundation, and Nagireddy_Organization, and supported by CSR Memorial Foundation and Hyderabad_Volunteers, the gathering celebrated not just a journey of kilometers, but a mission of purpose.

A Journey With a Heart

Ranjith, who has already cycled over 41,400 kilometers across India and 13 countries, shared his emotional and transformative journey that began in 2020 after the passing of his father. What started as a personal tribute has now become a global mission—to promote sustainable living, foster cross-cultural understanding, and encourage a healthier lifestyle through cycling.

“Every pedal is a step toward self-discovery and connection,” Ranjith told a captivated audience. He recounted stories of riding through the deserts of Rajasthan, the backwaters of Kerala, and the high-altitude passes of Ladakh with his beloved dog, Bhageera. He also spoke about life-changing experiences in countries like Vietnam, Mongolia, Japan, and Australia.

Community, Purpose, and Passion

The meetup served as more than just a farewell—it was a call to action. Ranjith encouraged young people to explore the world beyond screens, embrace eco-friendly travel, and find meaning through movement.

The event saw heartfelt support from local NGOs, volunteers, and fellow travelers who came not only to wish Ranjith well, but also to be part of something larger—a community moving toward a more conscious, connected world.

What’s Next?

With this event marking a symbolic send-off, Ranjith is now preparing for the next leg of his global journey. As he sets his sights on new continents, he continues to document his travels on his YouTube channel Ranjith on Wheels, spreading his message to an ever-growing audience.

Apollyon Dynamics: From Hostel Room to Defence Frontlines in Just 60 Days

In an extraordinary example of innovation meeting national service, Apollyon Dynamics, a defence-tech startup born at BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus, has taken flight—quite literally—by delivering custom-built unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to active Indian Army units across Jammu, Chandimandir, Panagarh (West Bengal), and Arunachal Pradesh, all within just two months of launching operations.

Founded by two enterprising students, Jayant Khatri, a Mechanical Engineering student from Ajmer, and Sourya Choudhury, an Electronics Engineering student from Kolkata, Apollyon Dynamics began as a modest prototype assembly operation in a hostel room. Today, it is building cutting-edge indigenous drones that are already in active deployment—proving that world-class defence technology can originate from a college dorm room.

The startup’s UAVs are designed for high-stakes military missions including precision kamikaze strikes, nighttime surveillance, and strategic payload delivery. Their flagship kamikaze drone boasts a top speed of over 300 km/h and delivers payloads up to 1 kg with pinpoint accuracy, making it one of the most advanced and effective systems in its category.

This rapid success was made possible with the backing of Dr. Sanket Goel, Dean of Research and Innovation at BITS Pilani Hyderabad, who supported the founders in transitioning from a makeshift setup to a state-of-the-art lab facility within the institute. Today, Apollyon Dynamics operates from this lab, designing rugged, modular, and mission-specific drones that address India’s evolving defence and surveillance needs.

Their growing lineup features multi-role aerial platforms for long-range surveillance, tactical payload drops, and high-precision kamikaze operations—a powerful mix of flexibility, speed, and intelligence in aerial warfare tech.

The team recently demonstrated their drone technology on campus in front of Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chancellor of BITS Pilani and Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group, earning praise for their vision and execution.

In an era where indigenous defence capabilities are more vital than ever, Apollyon Dynamics represents not just a technological breakthrough—but a symbol of youth-driven innovation and national strength.

Govt Launches WaveX Platform to Boost Media & Language-Tech Startups: Sanjay Jaju

Hyderabad, July 17 — In a bid to bridge India’s linguistic diversity through technology, the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has launched WaveX, a dedicated platform to support media and language-tech startups. Speaking at T-Hub Hyderabad on Thursday, I&B Secretary Sanjay Jaju emphasized the government’s commitment to promoting Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) innovations tailored to India’s rich cultural and linguistic fabric.

During his visit to T-Hub, Jaju engaged with AI and ML startups, as well as representatives from IIT Hyderabad, NITs, and various Centres of Excellence. He highlighted the importance of scalable, local AI solutions that reflect India’s linguistic landscape, urging young innovators to collaborate and contribute to the nation’s digital transformation.

Jaju introduced two key initiatives under the WaveX platform — “Kalaa Setu” and “Bhasha Setu” — challenge programs designed to encourage the development of digital tools that celebrate India’s cultural and language diversity. These challenges aim to find cutting-edge solutions that can support inclusive communication across the country.

“AI should reflect the linguistic diversity of India,” Jaju said, inviting startups to create tools that are not just technologically advanced, but also culturally rooted and accessible.

Finalists of the WaveX challenges will be invited to present their solutions before a national jury in New Delhi. Winning startups will receive full support from All India Radio (AIR), Doordarshan, and the Press Information Bureau (PIB) to help scale their innovations.

The WaveX platform, officially launched at the WAVES Summit in May 2025, is already being hailed as a catalyst for innovation in India’s media-tech ecosystem. Startups interested in participating can apply through the official WaveX portal.

With platforms like WaveX, the government is paving the way for a more inclusive and tech-enabled media landscape — one where every Indian voice can be heard and understood.

Veteran Actor Kota Srinivasa Rao Passes Away

Hyderabad, July 13, 2025 – Renowned veteran actor Kota Srinivasa Rao passed away early Sunday morning at the age of 83, following a prolonged illness. He breathed his last at his residence in Filmnagar, Hyderabad, after battling age-related health complications over the past few weeks.

Kota Srinivasa Rao was a towering figure in Indian cinema, particularly in the Telugu film industry. With a career spanning more than four decades, he acted in over 750 films across Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. Known for his distinctive voice, commanding screen presence, and mastery over dialects, Kota seamlessly portrayed a wide range of roles, from villains and comedians to strong supporting characters.

Born on July 10, 1942, in Kanakipadu, Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh, Kota began his journey as a stage actor before making his film debut in 1978 with Pranam Khareedu, which also starred a young Chiranjeevi. Initially known for character and comic roles, he rose to prominence as a formidable villain with the 1985 film Pratighatana. His performance was widely appreciated, and he was soon recognized as an actor who redefined the antagonist role in Telugu cinema.

Some of his most memorable films include:

  • Aha! Naa Pellanta
  • Yamudiki Mogudu
  • Khaidi No. 786
  • Shiva
  • Bobbili Raja
  • Yamaleela
  • Santosham
  • Bommarillu
  • Athadu
  • Race Gurram

Kota was also known for his successful on-screen partnership with comedian Babu Mohan. The duo featured together in about 60 films, and their combination was often seen as a guarantee of box office success in the 1990s.

Beyond cinema, Kota had a brief but impactful political career. He served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Vijayawada East constituency representing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from 1999 to 2004.

In recognition of his immense contribution to Indian cinema, he was awarded the Padma Shri in 2015, along with several Nandi Awards from the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

Tragedy struck his personal life in 2010 when his only son, Kota Venkata Anjaneya Prasad, died in a road accident in Hyderabad. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.

News of his passing has triggered an outpouring of grief from the film fraternity, political leaders, and fans across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Tributes continue to pour in, celebrating his illustrious career and unmatched legacy in Indian cinema.

Kota Srinivasa Rao will forever be remembered as a versatile performer, a master of dialogue delivery, and a pillar of South Indian cinema.

May his soul rest in peace.
