NCP MP Supriya Sule has introduced a Private Member’s Bill in the Lok Sabha — the Right to Disconnect Bill, 2025 — aiming to give employees the legal right to ignore work calls, texts, and emails after office hours. According to PTI, the bill proposes creating an Employees’ Welfare Authority, which would ensure that workers are not forced to respond to official communication beyond work hours or on holidays. The idea is simple: 📵 Protect work–life balance 🛑 Reduce burnout ⚖️ Give employees the legal freedom to “switch off” But there’s one catch: Private Member’s Bills rarely become law. They mostly serve to spark discussion — and this one has definitely reignited India’s workplace boundaries debate. Should India legally enforce the right to disconnect? Tell us your view.

For centuries, turning metals into gold was just an alchemist’s dream. Now, San Francisco-based Marathon Fusion claims it might be possible with nuclear fusion. How it works: Mercury, when exposed to neutron particles inside a fusion reactor, can be transformed into mercury-197, which then decays into gold-197, a stable form of gold. The catch: • The research is still not peer-reviewed. • Gold created this way may need 14–18 years of storage before it is fully safe. • Scaling it up remains a massive engineering challenge. Yet, if successful, this breakthrough could redefine fusion power and turn the age-old idea of alchemy into a startup-led reality. Do you think this is hype, or the future of gold? #marketinggrowmtics #startupJourney #startupbusiness #viral #startupnews #USstartup #labgrowngold #fusiontech #goldrush

AI startup Perplexity has made an unsolicited $34.5 billion all-cash bid to acquire Google’s Chrome browser, aiming to capitalize on a pending U.S. antitrust ruling that could force Google to divest the product. The offer, more than double Perplexity’s own $18 billion valuation, is backed by unnamed venture capital firms, according to the company.⁠ ⁠ Perplexity’s proposal, dubbed “Project Solomon,” pledges to keep Chrome’s underlying open-source Chromium project intact, invest $3 billion over two years in performance, security, and support, and make no changes to default search settings. The company also promises 100 months of continued user support and job offers to key Chrome staff, while maintaining interoperability with existing web standards and partner integrations.⁠ ⁠ The Justice Department is seeking Chrome’s sale after a federal court ruled Google maintained an illegal search monopoly through default-search deals with Apple, Samsung, and others. Judge Amit Mehta is expected to decide on remedies this month, though analysts say legal appeals could stretch for years. During the trial, several tech rivals, including OpenAI and DuckDuckGo, expressed interest in acquiring Chrome, signaling strong market appetite for the browser.⁠ ⁠ Skepticism runs high on Wall Street. Some analysts call the bid a publicity play, noting Chrome could be worth $50–$100 billion or more. Google has signaled it will fight any forced divestiture, arguing a sale could harm browser security and reliability.⁠ ⁠ Perplexity, founded in 2022, recently launched Comet, an AI-powered browser that integrates its “answer engine” directly into web navigation. Acquiring Chrome’s three-billion-plus users could supercharge its challenge to Google and rivals like OpenAI. Whether this bold gambit leads to a sale, or remains a headline grab, may hinge on the court’s next move.⁠ ⁠ #tech #google #chrome #ai #perplexity #antitrust #webbrowser #opensource #searchengine #technologynews #bigtech #innovation #startupnews #digitalprivacy
