Samsung has announced a groundbreaking milestone with its latest foldable smartphone lineup receiving an overwhelming 2.1 lakh pre-orders within just 48 hours of launch in India. This milestone firmly establishes consumer confidence in foldable devices and Samsung’s dominance in the premium smartphone segment.

The pre-orders reflect a significant shift in user interest from traditional slab phones to innovative foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip.

Panaji, July 18 2025: In a major push to strengthen Goa’s talent pool in emerging technologies, Fluxatic Global today launched BridgeAura ’25 — The Industry-Academia Tech Training Internship & Summit. The initiative, supported by the Startup and IT Promotion Cell under the Department of Information Technology, Electronics and Communications, aims to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world industry exposure for engineering students across the state.

The launch marks the return of one of Goa’s most impactful skilling initiatives, previously known as TechStatic, which has trained over 700 students since 2022. Now relaunched, BridgeAura ’25 is engaging over 250 students from five major engineering colleges in a two-month intensive program featuring 40 expert-led sessions across multiple domains, live projects, and hands-on mentorship.

“Equality in education must go hand-in-hand with opportunity in innovation,” said Shri. Rohan A. Khaunte, Hon’ble Minister for Information Technology, Electronics & Communications, Government of Goa. “More than the background, it’s the thought and innovation of the student that matters. BridgeAura provides a platform that bridges the gap between learning and doing — helping students convert ideas into real-world outcomes. Our goal is to shift the focus from job seekers to job creators by ensuring that Goa’s youth are skilled, reskilled, and upskilled in emerging technologies.”

At the launch, Khaunte also emphasized that through Startup and IT Policies, and initiatives like the Electronic Manufacturing Cluster in Tuem, the Government is creating additional verticals — especially for graduates in electronics and related fields, enabling them to find opportunities here in Goa and contribute to the state’s innovation ecosystem.

The inaugural session featured insights from Mr. Prajyot Mainkar, Founder & CEO of SoFueled, and Mr. Milind Anvekar, Senior Vice President at Open Destinations, both of whom emphasized the importance of future-ready skills and the growing role of collaborative innovation in shaping Goa’s tech ecosystem.

With over 250 students participating from five major engineering colleges, it’s already the largest initiative of its kind in the state. This is just the beginning, we are committed to reshaping how Goa’s tech talent is trained, mentored, and deployed into the workforce.”

The initiative aligns with the broader vision of the Department of Information Technology, Electronics & Communications (DITE&C) to develop a future-ready talent pool through real-world skilling, innovation, and startup enablement. With the investments in forward-looking policies and infrastructure, Goa is steadily positioning itself as a rising hub for tech innovation and entrepreneurship.
