Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 21: Apprenticeship Programs in the Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI) sector are emerging as a strong national employability pathway, aligning skill development, inclusive participation, and structured workforce entry for India’s youth. Aligned with the Government of India’s vision, these programs bridge the gap between academic learning and industry readiness by offering real workplace exposure, professional skills, and a credible entry into one of India’s fastest-growing sectors. As part of India’s expanding apprenticeship ecosystem, Government-backed schemes such as the Prime Minister’s National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (PM-NAPS) and the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) have shown steady…
Davos, [Switzerland], January 21: India is done playing catch-up in artificial intelligence. At Davos, the message was blunt. Build AI Impact first, own the stack, and make safety non-negotiable. India used the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 to quietly but firmly reset expectations. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw laid out a comprehensive vision that stitched AI, semiconductors, infrastructure and energy into one coherent national strategy. No hype. No vague promises. Just timelines, numbers and intent. The upcoming India AI Impact Summit is not designed as another talk-heavy conference. According to Vaishnaw, it has three clear objectives. Impact, accessibility and safety.…

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], January 21: As an educator and as the Principal of DPS Megacity, I have always believed that education is deeply personal. It is not only about lessons taught in classrooms or marks secured in examinations, but about the kind of individuals our children grow up to become. Every morning when I walk through the corridors of our school, I am reminded that each child carries a story, a dream, and an immense potential waiting to be nurtured. Parents today look for more than academic success when choosing a school for their children. They seek an institution…
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 21: Luxury has always flirted with permanence, even when pretending to be seasonal. Runway collections vanish in months, trends expire faster than invitations, and yet the promise of luxury has always been about something lasting — legacy, lineage, and the quiet assurance that you’ve arrived. Elie Saab’s entry into India through branded residences feels less like a business expansion and more like a confession: fashion no longer wants to hang in your wardrobe; it wants to live with you. This is not a sudden pivot. It’s a carefully timed escalation. As global lifestyle brands increasingly move…
When bubblegum hooks meet barbed wire gatekeepers Santa Clara (California) [USA], January 21: Hollywood loves a wall. A gate. A velvet rope with a publicist guarding it like a dragon with a spreadsheet. Enter K-pop: neon-bright, algorithm-savvy, multilingual, and utterly uninterested in waiting for permission. This isn’t a crossover. It’s a siege. The Barricades (Made in L.A.) Hollywood’s music machinery still runs on a charming antique belief: global means “English, plus maybe London.” Awards calendars, radio formats, and studio deal math cling to the idea that taste trickles down from Los Angeles like sacred rain. K-pop looked at that system,…

With dual headquarters in San Francisco and Hyderabad, and led by AI scientist Vijay Eesam, Ve moves beyond the era of manual prompting, anticipating a user’s thoughts and drafting content inline, directly at the cursor, across the world’s most popular digital workspaces.
