Reimagining agricultural extension through technology
Nidhi Bhasin, CEO of Digital Green Trust, explores how technology can reshape decision-making in rural India, leading to measurable increases in women’s income and decision-making power.
Through AI-led tools and grassroots networks like FarmerChat, the organisation is equipping farmers with real-time, personalised insights to make better decisions.
By working closely with State Rural Livelihood Missions, The Digital Green Trust is enabling over 1.9 million smallholder farmers, most of them women, across 15,000+ villages to access relevant, on-the-ground support.
Making early breast cancer screening easier and simpler
iBreastExam, a portable, radiation-free handheld device developed by UE LifeSciences, delivers breast screening results within minutes.
However, the iBreastExam does not claim to replace exams such as mammography or ultrasound, but serves as a primary screening tool to identify women who need further testing.
In Goa, UE LifeSciences has partnered with the state government to expand breast cancer screening beyond hospitals. Through community outreach and awareness drives, the initiative has reached nearly 1.68 lakh people.

Meta commits $21B to CoreWeave
Tech giant Meta and AI cloud computing firm CoreWeave have expanded their partnership, with Meta committing to purchase around $21 billion in AI computing capacity from the company.
The deal builds on a master services agreement signed in 2023 and, according to CoreWeave’s regulatory filing, will run through late 2032. It is a long-term supply arrangement—not a merger or investment—under which Meta will pay for access to computing power, while CoreWeave will provide the capacity.

Intel, Google expand partnership to strengthen AI infrastructure
Intel and Google have announced a multi-year partnership to jointly develop key technologies that power cloud computing and AI systems.
As part of the deal, Google Cloud will continue using Intel’s Xeon processors for a range of workloads, including AI, inference, and general computing.
The companies will also expand work on custom infrastructure processing units (IPUs)—specialised chips that handle tasks such as networking, storage, and security —reducing the load on central processors.
Intel said the goal is to build more efficient and balanced AI systems. The move builds on an existing relationship, as Google Cloud’s Compute Engine already runs on multiple generations of Intel Xeon chips.
