above command won't tell which file(s)  has the word Techmint, i think more appropriate is to use grep  -n Techmint  *.txt

grep -i "Tecmint" *

 

This will show the files if it is contained any of the file

$ grep -i "Techmint" *.txt, would to that for both the cases, with content and files. 

$ grep -l Techmint *.txt , would list the files containing the string.
