  • AI-Powered Patent Intelligence: Scoring Innovation for Real Commercial Value

    In today’s innovation economy, patents are often described as the currency of technology. Yet, paradoxically, most patent portfolios remain underutilized, mispriced, and poorly understood. Across corporations, universities, startups, and public research institutions, thousands of patents sit dormant — some incremental, some half-formed, some commercially trivial, and a few potentially transformative. The challenge has never been…

  • AI is transforming Plant Breeding: Accelerating Breeding Cycles and Delivering Climate-Resilient Varieties for the Seed Industry

    The global seed industry is operating under unprecedented pressure. Climate volatility, escalating biotic and abiotic stresses, rising R&D costs, and shortening commercial product lifecycles are forcing breeders to deliver superior varieties faster than ever before. Traditional plant breeding—while scientifically robust—was never designed for this pace of change. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now emerging as a…

  • SEED ENCAPSULATES THE GENETICS OF A PLANT VARIETY – SEED BILL ,2025

    JANUARY 3, 2026 A CRITICAL LOOK AT INDIA’S SEEDS BILL, 2025 Tarak Dhurjati Seeds are not merely inputs. They are compressed packets of genetics, science, history, and power. How a nation regulates seeds ultimately determines who controls agricultural productivity, farmer choice, and food sovereignty. India’s Seeds Bill, 2025, which seeks to replace the Seeds Act of…

  • Don’t Kill the Pest—Stop the Mating

    How sustainable crop protection works by breaking insect population cycles, not poisoning fields Pest control is not about extermination, but balance. By disrupting insect mating and keeping pest populations below economic thresholds, pheromones and semiochemicals offer a proven, sustainable way to protect crops, farmer incomes, and food safety—without collateral ecological damage. Rethinking pest control: from…

  • SVALBARD: Where the Future of the Planet is Stored in Ice

    Tarak Dhurjati INTRODUCTION At 78° north, where the Arctic winds carve the mountains and polar bears outnumber people, lies Svalbard — one of the most mysterious and important places on Earth. Known for its glaciers, ghost towns, northern lights, and frontier research stations, Svalbard is also home to one of humanity’s most visionary creations: the…

  • CROSSING LINES: A Short History of Passports, Visas and How We Control Movement

    From clay tablets and royal letters of safe conduct to biometric chips and mobile-based digital IDs, the passport has always been more than paper — it’s a statement of sovereignty, technology, and identity. The story of passports and visas mirrors the evolution of human mobility itself: the quest to move for survival, trade, faith, or…

From self-driving cars to personalized healthcare, AI has infiltrated almost every facet of life. Yet, looming on the horizon is…

  • The Unregulated Spread of Bt-3 and Roundup Ready Cotton in India: A Growing Biosafety and Public Health Concern

    Tarak Dhurjati India’s cotton story over the last quarter century has been a striking mix of scientific achievement, farmer adoption, regulatory lapses, and environmental concern. From the introduction of Bollgard-I (the first genetically modified Bt cotton) in 2002, to Bollgard-II with stacked insecticidal genes, and now the unregulated proliferation of Bt-3 or “Roundup Ready Flex”…
