Proud to see our incubated deep-tech startup, The ePlane Company, pull back the curtain today on the e200X (PT-01), the full-scale physical reality of their physics-first approach to aviation. While the global industry has spent billions building massive aircraft that require cities to rebuild their infrastructure completely, IIT Madras faculty member Prof. Satya Chakravarthy and his team took a completely different path. At just 8m × 11m, the e200X is the world’s most compact passenger eVTOL, engineered to carry a pilot + 200kg of payload directly out of current helipads. Backed by over 10,000 km of cumulative flight testing and holding a formal Design Organisation Approval (DOA) from the DGCA, ePlane represents the elite tier of execution rigour in the Advanced Air Mobility sector.

As reported by the BBC, researchers at the Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre (SGBC) at IIT Madras have developed ANCHOR—the world's most detailed three-dimensional atlas of the human brainstem at cellular resolution. Created using more than 500 tissue sections spanning foetal, childhood and adult brains, the atlas enables seamless navigation from MRI scans to individual neurons. It identifies over 200 clusters of brain cells and nerve pathways, offering an unprecedented view of the brainstem—the region that controls essential functions such as breathing, heartbeat, sleep, movement and wakefulness. Developed over 18 months by a multidisciplinary team, ANCHOR bridges medical imaging with cellular pathology and has the potential to advance research into neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). It is freely accessible to researchers worldwide, marking another significant step in advancing neuroscience and interdisciplinary research.
