T-Hub, the startup engine based in Hyderabad, launched the NanoAccelerator Programme in association with United Technologies Corporation (UTC.) The Smart City/Smart Building NanoAccelerate Programme will concentrate on startups working on video analytical solutions.

Five video analytics startups have been selected for the first NanoAccelerator programme cohort, out of which two are from India, one is from Israel and the remaining two are from US. IntelliVision, Duran Inc., Emza Visual Sense, Uncanny Vision Solutions Pvt., Ltd., and Cognitifai are the final five selected startups with strong technical and research teams. All the five startups hold more than 20 granted and pending patents and provide services to Fortune 100 companies.

Speaking about the programme, Vice President of UTC Systems and Control Engineering, Ali Saidi said, “I was positively impressed with the startups that presented. For us video surveillance is key and we are present across business segments where video analytics are important. We are looking for something that can bring in that level of accuracy.”

According to the official statement released by T-Hub, the five selected startups generate a combined revenue of $ 4 million, while the total funding raised by them ranges between $ 7 million and $ 8 million. Jay Krishnan, the CEO of T-Hub, speaking about the startups selected for the first cohort said, “These truly global startups were researched, analyzed and scouted for the Smart City/Smart Building NanoAccelerator programme. The solutions they offer are niche and will play a key cog in the near future as the smart buildings and cities not only become reality but a scalable necessity.”

UTC will work closely with the selected startups to provide seamless actionable intelligence data with minimal human intervention. Using an open innovation framework, the initiative aims to enhance UTC’s integrated platform with reliable and efficient video analytics software and embedded intelligence.  The technology related company also launched a lab at T-Hub in Hyderabad to help foster innovation and develop collaborative solutions with the company.

The five startups will have the opportunity to work with UTC to collaborate and prioritize their solution at Hyderabad. The startups will also be provided with the opportunity to develop a proof of concept (POC) on the prioritized solution. The POC will then be showcased to key executives of UTC during the ‘Demo Day’ at T-Hub. Two of the selected POC’s will also receive a funding of $ 25,000 along with access to T-Hub’s network of mentors, industry experts, investors and service providers.

IIT Hyderabad Unveils Palyanka, Heavy-Lift Drone for Air Ambulance Use

Published

Hyderabad - Drone

The Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation Foundation (TiHAN) at IIT Hyderabad has set a new standard in drone technology with the launch of Palyanka, a heavy payload drone designed as an autonomous air ambulance. Capable of carrying up to 200 kg, Palyanka is engineered to swiftly transport patients, medical equipment, or critical cargo across challenging terrains, bypassing traditional barriers like road congestion and remote inaccessibility. This advanced UAV operates autonomously, making it highly effective for rapid response in both urban and rural emergencies, and stands at the forefront of disaster relief operations in scenarios such as floods and fires.

Built for versatility, Palyanka doesn’t just function as an air ambulance. Its robust design enables use in rescue missions, cargo deliveries, and even as an air taxi for metropolitan connectivity. Inspired by the Sanskrit word for palanquin, the name “Palyanka” reflects the drone’s role as a safe and efficient carrier. All components, from conceptual design to IP, have been developed in-house at IIT Hyderabad, ensuring the drone meets stringent standards for durability and performance under extreme conditions.

With a development journey spanning over five years and led by Prof. P. Rajalakshmi, TiHAN’s team has transitioned from early drone prototypes to a full-scale, high-capacity solution like Palyanka. The team is now preparing pilot projects in hilly terrains and working on further enhancing the drone’s endurance with innovative heat-resistant materials. By pioneering such indigenous solutions, IIT Hyderabad’s TiHAN is transforming emergency medical services and logistics, marking a pivotal advancement in India’s urban mobility and public safety landscape.

X’s Major Price Cut in India: Premium Plans Now More Accessible Than Ever

Published

StartupStories

X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has announced a major reduction in its subscription prices across India, slashing fees by up to 48%. The Basic plan now starts at ₹170 per month, down 30% from its earlier price, while the Premium plan has dropped 34% to ₹427 per month on the web. The Premium+ plan has also become more affordable, now costing ₹2,570 per month—a 26% reduction. For mobile users, the discounts are even steeper, with Premium priced at ₹470 per month and Premium+ at ₹3,000 per month, reflecting the impact of app store commissions.

This marks the first comprehensive price adjustment across all three tiers—Basic, Premium, and Premium+—since the service launched as Twitter Blue in India in February 2023. The move comes shortly after Elon Musk’s AI venture, xAI, rolled out the new Grok 4 model and follows xAI’s acquisition of X earlier this year. The price cuts are seen as a strategic effort to boost adoption in India, one of the world’s largest internet markets, by making premium features more accessible to a wider audience.

Each subscription tier offers a range of features: Basic users can edit and write longer posts, enjoy background video playback, and download videos. Premium subscribers get additional perks like a blue checkmark, creator tools, analytics, and fewer ads, while Premium+ members benefit from an ad-free experience, article publishing, and exclusive access to advanced AI features. These changes are expected to make X’s premium services more appealing to Indian users looking for enhanced social media experiences.

Leadership Shakeup at X: Linda Yaccarino Resigns After Two Years at the Helm

Published

Linda - Startup Stories

Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of X (formerly Twitter), announced her resignation on July 9, 2025, bringing her two-year leadership of Elon Musk’s social media platform to a close. Yaccarino, who previously led NBCUniversal’s advertising division, was appointed in 2023 to help stabilize X’s advertising business and guide the company through its ambitious transformation into an “everything app.” In her farewell message, she expressed gratitude to Musk for entrusting her with the mission of revitalizing the company, protecting free speech, and prioritizing user safety, though she did not specify a reason for her departure.


Her exit comes at a turbulent moment for X, following the recent controversy involving Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Musk’s xAI, which posted antisemitic content referencing Adolf Hitler. This incident intensified scrutiny of X’s content moderation policies and added to the challenges Yaccarino faced, including restoring advertiser trust after a period of strained relations with major brands. Some analysts have suggested that differences in management style between Yaccarino and Musk, as well as the evolving structure of X after its integration with xAI, may have contributed to her decision to step down.

Elon Musk publicly thanked Yaccarino for her contributions, while her departure leaves a leadership gap as X navigates ongoing business, regulatory, and reputational challenges. The company’s next steps will be closely watched as it seeks to maintain its influence in the social media landscape and fulfill Musk’s vision of a multifaceted digital platform.
