In a groundbreaking development for the future of aerial mobility, SkyDrive, a Japanese leader in electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) and heavy-lift cargo drones, has successfully raised a monumental $8 billion in a recent funding round. Established in 2018, SkyDrive has emerged as a frontrunner in the burgeoning drone industry, leveraging innovative technology and engineering excellence to pave the way for a new era of transportation and logistics. This significant influx of capital will enable the company to accelerate the development and deployment of its advanced eVTOL aircraft, which aim to revolutionize urban mobility and transform cargo delivery services. The funds will primarily be allocated towards enhancing research and development efforts, expanding manufacturing capabilities, and conducting rigorous testing to ensure the safety and reliability of their drones.

Navrachana University
Navrachana University was established through the Gujarat Private Universities Act, 2009 with the intent to offer superior education that befits the high educational standards of the Navrachana Educational Society in Vadodara. The University has embarked on a new educational paradigm that lays simultaneous emphasis on disciplinary education, inter-disciplinary education, professional education and general education. This paradigm is facilitated by the University’s unitary character and offers comprehensive learning and helps develop T-Shape students who have a breadth of knowledge though general and inter-disciplinary education and a depth of knowledge though focused disciplinary education. There are five important aspects that direct the new educational paradigm at Navrachana University: Professional education must prepare students with strong disciplinary insights needed to address the challenges confronting the professional community and inculcate a sense of lifelong learning to be successful and excel overtime. Offer interdisciplinary education that cross-fertilize learning with new ideas from desperate disciplines so collision at the fringes raise appropriate questions and create innovation. General education must inform students about the issues that arise in their lives, personally, professionally, and socially and help them to be reflective about their beliefs and choices, and their presuppositions and motivations. Make the process of learning more effective through exposure into real working conditions by practically applying knowledge and skills learned in the classroom. Invite students to work on “messy”, seemingly intractable problems through a focus on social entrepreneurship and address pressing problems in our immediate community. Disciplinary-specific entrepreneurship is being developed to create job creators who will create opportunities for themselves and for others.
