Suman Shakya wants me to touch the concrete wall of her bedroom, where her one-year-old son lies soaked with sweat. It burns my hand as if it were a hot pan. “Now imagine sitting in front of a hot pan in this weather for as long as it takes to make rotis for the whole family,” she says.

The Alibaba-backed Chinese smartphone maker is making a comeback — in a way — as it gets acquired by the founder of Geely, China’s largest private automaker and Volvo’s parent comapny.

Indian fitness platform, Ultrahuman , is expanding its wearable portfolio by launching a smart ring to boost its ability to provide tech loving ‘biohackers’ — and, it hopes, health-concerned Boomers — with more insightful metabolic insights.

TL;DR: A lifetime subscription to Koofr Cloud Storage is on sale for under £49.54, saving you 94% on list price.

Carefree summer beach days are finally upon us. You don’t have to travel to far-flung destinations like Mallorca or Bali to find a summer beach paradise.
