Gurugram (Haryana) [India], April 16: Gurgaon-based men’s fashion brand The Manatomy has announced the filing of a patent for its AI-driven styling technology, as it introduces a platform designed to help users visualize themselves in personalized outfit combinations. The development marks a step toward more immersive and individualized fashion experiences, where consumers can move beyond static product browsing to more contextual, self-relevant discovery. Founded by Ankit Sharma and co-founded by Jatin Goyal, The Manatomy’s platform focuses on a key limitation in online fashion retail: the inability for users to accurately imagine how a product will look on them.

Los Angeles (California), April 16: Fifteen years is a long gap. Long enough to forget anything. Most franchises try to come back louder after that kind of silence, just to ensure that people still remember. But this one doesn’t. Focker In-Law feels like it never really left. The trailer doesn’t explain much. It doesn’t need to. It assumes you remember the rhythm—conversations that start normal, then tilt slightly, then collapse under their own awkwardness. That rhythm is still there. What’s new is the person walking into it. Ariana Grande Doesn’t Try to Fit In Ariana Grande plays Olivia Jones, and…

New Delhi [India], April 16: Customer acquisition costs for Indian D2C brands have tripled since 2021. Conversion rates, however, remain flat. The gap points to a familiar but overlooked problem: what happens after a customer clicks “Add to Cart.” For years, checkout was treated as a technical step. Today is the decisive moment when intent either becomes revenue or quietly disappears. Shiprocket, one of India’s largest commerce enablement platforms, is positioning its checkout infrastructure as the answer. But the larger story is not about one company. It is about a sector-wide shift in how growth is defined. The funnel has…
From extended windows to IMAX-first filmmaking, a unified push to restore theatrical urgency Las Vegas (Nevada), April 16: At CinemaCon 2026, Universal Pictures did something rare for Hollywood lately: it picked a side and made things clear. Since the pandemic, studios have tried to play both sides. Theaters still mattered, or so they said, but streaming was always lurking in the wings—and, honestly, streaming often got the spotlight. Release windows shrank fast, sometimes to just a couple of weeks. The thinking was obvious enough: less risk, faster profits, and hit people where they already are. The result? People adjusted. If…
(L-R) Akshat Raghava, Co-founder & Prashant Gupta, Founder at Beryl Agency New Delhi [India], April 16: India’s mid-market manufacturers are exporting more than ever, now accounting for 48.55 percent of the country’s total merchandise exports in FY25, according to Ministry of MSME data. Yet a growing number of businesses in the Rs 20 to 200 crore turnover bracket are losing international contracts, formal credit, and senior talent not because of product quality or pricing, but because their brand presentation does not reflect the scale at which they actually operate. This is the pattern that Beryl Agency, a Noida-based branding and…

New Delhi [India], April 16: Many people expect every medical test to be covered, but insurers usually decide based on why the test was done. Preventive health check-ups are routine screenings done when you feel fine, while diagnostic tests are done to confirm a problem or guide treatment. A health insurance policy for a family may cover both, but often under different terms and conditions. In this article, you will learn what is typically paid for, what may be excluded, and how to avoid surprises at claim time. Preventive Checkup vs. Diagnostic Test: The Simple Difference A preventive health check-up is something…
