Newsletter 18: RCB's buyers, AI in hospitals and India's only dark factory

Feb 16, 2026

This week's curation focusses on reports rooted in technology: be it AI's use in operation theatres, India's tyre burning furnaces, a dark robot factory in Tamil Nadu and Israel using advanced weapons to vapourise Palestinians. Also, the latest buzz on IPL franchise RCB's sale.

Do the latest advancements in technology frighten you? Personally speaking, my understanding of futuristic technology is a bit weak, which is why I am a sucker for tech-related journalism. 

But I also like reading about tech that helps humans in industries that are not as talked about. For example, how is AI used to solve problems in environment and wildlife? In Coimbatore, it’s been used to save a lot of elephants from being killed by trains

This week’s curation is for all the tech and business lovers; my first recommendation is a hot update on the sale of IPL’s Bengaluru franchise, which has attracted attention from bigwigs across the globe. 

I also urge you to check out an investigation by Reuters about how AI entering the operation theatre is causing consternation among regulators. 

There’s also an interesting investigation on how India is becoming the world’s waste tyre furnace, which is bad news for our environment. 

My other recommendations are from the tech sector too: one is a ground report from India’s only dark factory in Tamil Nadu which employs robots, and another shocking report on how Israel might have used advanced weapons to evaporate Palestinians. 

Happy reading!
