What defines meaningful innovation in today’s mobile era? Are we nearing the end of the smartphone’s dominance, or on the verge of something entirely new?
Explore these pressing questions in Aryan Maheshwari’s article as he examines the stagnation in smartphone evolution and the emerging promise of smart wearables and multimodal AI could this be the beginning of a new tech era?

Cash to Code: India’s Digital Rupee
India is making a transformative leap with the Digital Rupee, a digital version of traditional fiat currency, managed and regulated by the Reserve Bank of India.

Designed for both retail (CBDC R) and wholesale (CBDC W) applications, the digital rupee can facilitate seamless person to person (P2P) and person to merchant (P2M) transactions.
But can it truly redefine India’s financial landscape? How does it compare to UPI, plastic money, or cash? What are its implications for financial inclusion, cross border trade, and cybersecurity? And what lessons can India draw from global pioneers like China’s eCNY or the Eurozone’s digital euro?
