Workforce participation for moms in the U.S. has been dropping for most of this year, and the reasons are more complicated than return-to-office mandates. The team from “The Indicator” explains why.

Ravi still remembers the day everything changed. His mother had slipped in the kitchen, her head striking the corner of a doorframe. The family rushed her to the local government hospital.

Doctors at the institute…

Cinematographer-director Karthik Gattamneni, who co-wrote Mirai with Manibabu Karanam, crafts a striking visual aesthetic with production designer Nagender Tangala, art director Dasireddy Srinivas, and a skilled visual effects team. Yet beneath the spectacle lies a story that finds its footing in…

These were not curiosities, but the foundations of measurement, calculation, and imagination. That legacy does not belong to the past alone. It is the foundation of India’s present and future. In an age defined by the search for clean and reliable energy, mathematics once again provides the key to understanding the unseen. Numbers illuminate…
