The suave design master is yet to hit 30 but has made a big impact with his cutting edge ventures. First with MIT Media Lab India Initiative and then Tesseract Inc, he made waves in the industry. The latter saw him get on the fast moving Make In India wagon and has led to innovative products that have become the talk of the town. Voxel, first holographic headset for Smartphones and Quark 360, the smallest 360 degree virtual reality camera have brought him and his company much acclaim. The world waits with bated breath for his next success.
Rohan and Yashas, still in their early twenties give the adage “sky is the limit if you are driven my ideas” a whole new meaning. Bellatrix Aerospace was incubated in the legendary Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and received its first high profile order from ISRO couple of years ago. It was for a satellite propulsion system, no less. The company is now working on ambitious Chetak, a two stage launch vehicle, which should be aired by 2023. It will use clean fuel, which makes the project a hit with environmentalists too.
Another inspiring duo committed to the future of the planet along with profits. Tarun and Swapnil are founders of Ather Energy and the brains behind S340, which is expected to go on the market this year. The almost commercial electric scooter is a design dream that is packed with power too. We won’t harp on the specs of the model, but let’s just say it is up to speed with other traditional two wheelers, competitively priced and is of course energy efficient. That’s what they call an absolutely electric idea.
Now it’s a well known fact that Hawking never won the Nobel Prize for his work. But you know what else he didn’t get? Good grades in school. If you needed proof that grades aren’t everything, then you simply have to look at his school score sheet. Yet his inquisitive mind had made him the talk of the school and his teachers often referred to him as ‘Einstein’. But he delivered when it counted, like acing the tests that got him the scholarship to Oxford.
Did you know doctors gave Stephen Hawking only a few years to live when he was first admitted to the hospital in his early 20s? At the time he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), which led to complete loss of muscle control. But when in the hospital, he saw a young boy battling leukemia. It helped him stop feeling sorry for himself and carry on with the great things he did.
A genius might always get it right, but a great man is humble enough to admit his mistakes. Stephen Hawking was both. He was considered the last word in Quantum Physics, but there was a time when he lost a bet on black holes. What made his admission even more commendable was the fact that he did it during a talk at a top scientific conference. Of course, his tongue in cheek remarks and charm could see him through any discomfort in public.
Stephen Hawking was a well known atheist and didn’t believe in the existence of God. But you could get him talking about possibility of aliens in the universe. He had world media in frenzy when at NASA’s 50th anniversary celebration he said that primitive and perhaps intelligent life could be out there. He further elaborated his thoughts on the topic in one of the episodes for a show on Discovery Channel.
To say that he was an indomitable spirit and a unique personality would be an understatement. The Theory of Everything, which won Eddie Redmayne the Oscar for portraying Stephen Hawking captured many facets of his personality beautifully. But the man himself has made several appearances on screen. Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Simpsons, Futurama you name it. His appearance on these shows is silver screen gold for Hawking fans!
