Sebi offers a way over FPI tax rule hurdle
Blind users often struggle with navigating unfamiliar indoor spaces, reading signs or understanding visual cues that most people take for granted. That problem is what pushed 20-year-old Nimar Sharma, a student at Chitkara University on the outskirts of Chandigarh, to build Blind Bridge, an accessibility-focused app that aims to make everyday navigation easier for visually impaired users. His app uses intuitive vibration-based sensing and earned Sharma a place among the distinguished winners of Apple's Swift Student Challenge 2026 - one of seven winners from India selected this year. But Sharma's story is no longer an isolated example. Across India, a growing wave of student developers is building apps that combine artificial intelligence, accessibility and everyday problem-solving something Apple increasingly sees as central to the country's role in the global app economy. Speaking ahead of WWDC 2026, Susan Prescott, VP, worldwide developer relations at Apple, said India has emerged as one of the company's most vibrant developer markets, driven by a mix of global ambition, entrepreneurship and student participation.
