Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The first time I visited the commercial hub of Gurgaon, in India, I was struck by the sheer number of skyscrapers housing Fortune 500 companies that called the “cyber city” home. Located only 20 miles from New Delhi, the former agricultural area was built entirely by private companies. And now, rising from the concrete city is a dramatic green masterpiece, The Camellias , a unique architectural utopia twice the size of Central Park. Created by DLF and headed by billionaire Kushal Pal Singh , the company began developing 22 urban colonies in Delhi. In 1985, the company started luxury living spaces for professionals in Gurgaon. They invest in sustainability from wastewater treatment systems at the DLF Golf and Country Club and recycling construction materials. Singh’s creation has enabled Gurgaon to become the leader in innovative green technology. The Camellias is the latest residential offering from DLF’s portfolio, … [Read more...] about The Camellias Residences In India-A Dramatic New Luxury Destination For Futuristic Living

The Greatest Show on Earth gets a second chance
When the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus—back after a six-year absence—begins its 50-city tour of North America this September, it will include 75 highly trained performers and a litany of extravagant acts. Tightrope walkers will flit across a triangular rope, 30 feet in the air. Acrobats will launch themselves between four spinning wheels suspended from stadium ceilings. BMX bikers will spring off a giant trampoline. And a 360-degree set studded with massive video screens and enhanced with sonic spatial technology will envelop audiences in the spectacle. There won’t, however, be any lions, tigers, or bears. Oh my! “When you have a brand called ‘The Greatest Show on Earth,’ you can’t downscale,” says Juliette Feld Grossman, chief operating officer at Feld Entertainment, which acquired the iconic circus in 1984. “You really have to reimagine and reinvent.” Founded in 1871, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus delighted American families … [Read more...] about The Greatest Show on Earth gets a second chance
How Russian Airlines Have Been Able To Skirt Sanctions And Keep Flying
Russian carriers have been able to scrounge enough spare parts to maintain robust domestic service across their vast country. S ince the start of Russia’s war with Ukraine, GA Telesis, a Florida-based aircraft-parts distributor, has been getting a lot of suspicious requests. They’re from shadowy companies formed over the past year in the United Arab Emirates and former Soviet republics like Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. Mindful of sanctions against Russia, GA Telesis asks for proof that the parts are for a particular airline and plane. When confronted with those questions, company founder Abdol Moabery says, they vanish. “We have a robust compliance department,” Moabery tells Forbes, “but not everybody does.” When the U.S. and Europe first imposed economic sanctions in the wake of the Kremlin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine a year ago, aviation experts expected that Russian airlines would be reduced to cannibalizing parts to keep a dwindling number of planes in the air. … [Read more...] about How Russian Airlines Have Been Able To Skirt Sanctions And Keep Flying

We’ve selected the firms making the biggest impact across 54 categories, including advertising , architecture , design , and more. Nature has typically been the first place that beauty companies turn to for solutions to aging and skin imperfections. Now there’s a new source—biotech—and it takes its inspiration from the pharmaceutical industry.

The $100 genome has been a biotech holy grail for decades. This company made it a reality
Ultima Genomics is No. 33 on Fast Company’s list of the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies of 2023 . Explore the full list of companies that are reshaping industries and culture. After nearly six years in stealth mode, in May 2022, Ultima Genomics stunned the scientific community with the announcement of a breakthrough in DNA sequencing: a $100 genome, a sixfold reduction in cost over existing technologies and a staggering reduction from the cost of the first fully sequenced human genome, which is estimated to have been between $500 million and $1 billion. Ever since biotech company Illumina developed a way to sequence the human genome in 2014 for less than $1,000, it has dominated the next-gen sequencing field and the cost of sequencing a full human genome has hovered around that price point. Only in 2022 did the going price dip to about $600—still a high price that Ultima founder and CEO Gilad Almogy says is hindering more widespread use of sequencing to understand … [Read more...] about The $100 genome has been a biotech holy grail for decades.

Since November 2000, the International Space Station has provided a unique microgravity platform for research in biology, medicine, materials science, and physics, as well as for observing Earth’s atmosphere and deep space. But with the station set to close by 2031, NASA has entered into commercial agreements with three companies—Blue Origin, Nanoracks, and Northrop Grumman Systems—to develop replacements, though it’s not clear they will be ready in time. Houston-based Axiom Space has a head start on all of them, with the sole contract to build a commercial module that will be attached to the ISS—and eventually detach to become its own free-floating commercial station, offering a new place for humans to live and work in space long-term.
