India's Science & Technology Soars: Gaganyaan Nears Completion, AI Initiatives Expand, and Quantum Breakthroughs Emerge

October 24, 2025

India has witnessed a dynamic 24 hours in science and technology, marked by significant strides in space exploration, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. ISRO's Gaganyaan mission is reported to be 90% complete, with uncrewed test flights slated before the 2027 human spaceflight. The nation also saw the successful test-firing of 3D-printed rocket engines by a private firm, Agnikul Cosmos, and a major policy push for responsible AI adoption and content labelling. Groundbreaking research in quantum randomness and atomic interactions further solidifies India's position on the global scientific map.
