The country has invested USD 11.6 billion over the past decade, while a new USD 11 billion government fund is expected to attract more private money. However, limited large-scale domestic funding remains a major hurdle for Indian startups.
The UP TGT and PGT eligibility rules explain who can apply for teaching posts in Uttar Pradesh secondary schools. TGT candidates need the required bachelor’s degree, B.Ed. and subject-specific qualifications. PGT applicants generally need graduation and a relevant postgraduate degree. The rules also cover age limits and other conditions. Candidates should check the requirements for their chosen subject before applying.
The ChatGPT desktop app gives users a quick way to use ChatGPT without opening a browser. It offers shortcuts, voice mode, file uploads, and screenshot sharing. The app works on Mac and Windows but needs an internet connection. While it is useful for quick tasks and frequent app switching, the web version offers more tools for projects, research, and organizing work.
Morgan Stanley has created an internal Digital Asset Lab to explore new crypto technologies. The lab will test areas such as stablecoins, tokenized assets, decentralized finance, and digital currencies. The bank says the setup gives its teams a safe space to test these tools before they are used with core banking systems.
