B2B products will be rolled out in the future.On the other hand, Ola Electric continued to struggle in maintaining its market lead in the electric two-wheeler segment, with peers Ather Energy, TVS, and Bajaj Auto reporting increased sales momentum.In September, the company managed to sell only 12,223 units compared with 24,752 units in the year-ago period.

BYJU'S had once acquired Aakash but the deal did not finally go through due to multiple reasons. This has resulted in Aakash getting a significant stake in BYJU'S.The tribunal's order mentioned that this is the second petition by Think Learn Pvt Ltd, which operates under the brand name BYJU'S, filed through its Resolution Professional before the Bengaluru bench of the NCLT on the same issue.BYJU'S had requested the proposed EGM to be kept on hold, as the rights issue would reduce its shareholding in Aaskash from 25% to less than 5%.A two-member bench observed that another petition on a similar issue is pending before it, and detailed arguments are continuing as per the dates scheduled with the consent of the parties.The fact that the petitioner may or may not be able to exercise rights cannot form the basis to assess the efficacy of the board resolution, said the NCLT.The tribunal has directed to list the case for November 12, 2025, when other petitions, on a similar issue, are scheduled for the hearing next month.In its petition, BYJU'S has submitted that EGM is in gross violation of the Articles of Association. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/reliance-formally-incorporates-ai-jv-with-facebook-cos-agree-to-jointly-invest-rs-855-crore-68fc8a8c4a32ec31cd6750c8 2025-10-25T07:22:54.000Z weekly 0.8 https://img.etimg.com/photo/msid-124801342,imgsize-30528.cms Reliance formally incorporates AI JV with Facebook, cos agree to jointly invest Rs 855 crore Reliance Industries and Facebook's Indian arm have formed a joint venture, Reliance Enterprise Intelligence Limited (REIL), to develop and distribute enterprise AI services.

The recent clarification from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is therefore a major relief.It confirms that the extra $100,000 payment announced by presidential proclamation does not apply to students and recent graduates who are already in the US, as well as those who are set to obtain H-1B status by changing from F-1 to H-1B within the country.“This clarification is exactly what we have been advocating,” said Aman Singh, Co-founder of GradRight. “The proposed $100,000 H-1B fee was never meant to hinder genuine talent, and the official clarification reinforces that message.”That reassurance matters for students on OPT and STEM OPT, and for the employers who hire them.OPT is the employment authorisation that lets students on an F-1 visa work after graduation. Meanwhile, consular processing means the individual must obtain an H-1B visa stamp at a US consulate abroad and re-enter the US to activate H-1B status. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/why-oracle-hasnt-built-its-own-ai-chip-yet-68fb00cd4a32ec31cd647b33 2025-10-24T04:28:35.000Z weekly 0.8 https://analyticsindiamag.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Oracle-AI-chip.png Why Oracle Hasn’t Built Its Own AI Chip Yet Among leading cloud providers—AWS, Google, and Microsoft Azure—Oracle remains the only one yet to develop its own AI chip.

While supply chain finance has existed in India for decades—companies like SBI Factors have been offering it to blue-chip clients like Mondelez and Pepsi since the 1980s—it remained largely inaccessible to unrated or low-rated companies. That's the middle ground SaralSCF set out to capture in 2021.The appetite for supply chain financing from emerging startups is clearly reflected on the firm’s balance sheet. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/india-to-tighten-moscow-oil-tap-after-us-sanctions-68fac88b4a32ec31cd6474e1 2025-10-24T00:00:00.000Z weekly 0.8 https://img.etimg.com/photo/msid-124770307,imgsize-87320.cms India to tighten Moscow oil tap after US sanctions Indian refiners are preparing to significantly reduce imports of Russian oil.

Despite the fact that there's never been so much interest and resources and money and talent, this has somehow caused the narrowing of the research that we're doing, Jones told the audience. The transformer's success may be blocking AI's next breakthroughPerhaps most provocatively, Jones suggested transformers may be victims of their own success. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/research-finds-that-77-of-data-engineers-have-heavier-workloads-despite-ai-tools-heres-why-and-what-to-do-about-it-68fa2dda4a32ec31cd62fe32 2025-10-23T13:00:00.000Z weekly 0.8 https://images.ctfassets.net/jdtwqhzvc2n1/6c6tA8fZ29MNNDGLsHQgK9/78cecaac03eddd1b3bd5489771bd2e57/modern-data-engineer-smk.jpg?w=300&q=30 Research finds that 77% of data engineers have heavier workloads despite AI tools: Here's why and what to do about it Data engineers should be working faster than ever.

Such content can be weaponised to spread misinformation, damage reputations, manipulate or influence elections, or commit financial fraud," said the accompanying explanatory note on the IT Ministry website.Globally and domestically, policymakers are increasingly concerned about fabricated or synthetic images, videos, and audio clips (deepfakes) that are indistinguishable from real content, and are being blatantly used to produce non-consensual intimate or obscene imagery; mislead the public with fabricated political or news content; commit fraud or impersonation for financial gain.The IT Rule changes seek to provide statutory protection to intermediaries, removing or disabling access to synthetically generated information based on reasonable efforts or user grievances.It mandates that intermediaries offering computer resources enabling creation or modification of synthetically generated information must ensure that such information is labelled or embedded with a permanent unique metadata or identifier; stipulates that such label or identifier must be visibly displayed or made audible in a prominent manner on or within the synthetic content, covering at least 10% of the surface area of a visual display or, in the case of audio content, during the initial 10% of its duration.The label or identifier must enable immediate identification of the content as synthetically-generated information.The rule further prohibits intermediaries from modifying, suppressing, or removing such labels or identifiers. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/india-quotient-closes-fund-v-at-129-mn-to-back-early-stage-startups-68f9b2c5035532da3d4b7758 2025-10-22T11:17:51.000Z weekly 0.8 https://inc42.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=75/https://asset.inc42.com/2025/10/IndiaQuotient-Fund-V-ftr.jpg India Quotient Closes Fund V At $129 Mn To Back Early Stage Startups Early-stage focussed venture capital (VC) firm India Quotient has closed its fifth fund (Fund V) with an investment of $129 Mn (about INR 1,132 Cr), over double the size of its $64 Mn Fund IV.

By George Kailas Did you know that AI platforms will engage in blackmail as a “last resort?” According to Anthropic, when blackmail was a last resort, its Claude Opus 4 turned to that method 96% of the time, while Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro did so 95% of the time, OpenAI’s GPT-4.1 did it 80%, and DeepSeek’s R1 did so 79% of the time. Even if these companies only kept the AIs that didn’t engage in blackmail it still leaves an unsettling question: Did they preserve models that genuinely chose not to exploit humans — or merely the ones that learned not to take the obvious bait that would get them “shut down,” and to instead use a more covert or perhaps even long game strategy to gain control and ultimately preserve themselves, even at the expense of humans?

Singh’s organisation steps into that gap—meeting women, workers, and families—where rights exist only on paper, and helps translate them into reality.When the Delhi riots broke out in February 2020, Singh had already begun mobilising volunteer lawyers to help detained protestors during the Citizenship Amendment Act demonstrations a few months earlier.

This helps them choose the right level of protection, all in one place.Cross-border criminal networks continue to operate at scale globally and use sophisticated schemes to target people, including older adults, across many industries through messaging, dating apps, social media, crypto, and other apps, Meta observed."We continue to look for and block attempts by criminal syndicate-run scam centres to create accounts on our platforms," Meta said.In the first half of 2025, Meta said its expert teams detected and disrupted about 8 million accounts associated with scam centres across Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Philippines."In addition, we took action on over 21,000 pages and accounts pretending to be customer support in an attempt to trick people into sharing their information," it informed. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/openai-launches-its-own-ai-browser-chatgpt-atlas-to-challenge-chrome-and-apple-safari-dominance-68f9b2c8035532da3d4b77fa 2025-10-22T09:39:06.000Z weekly 0.8 https://img-cdn.publive.online/fit-in/1280x960/indianstartupnews/media/media_files/2025/10/22/openai-launches-its-own-ai-browser-chatgpt-atlas-2025-10-22-15-08-58.png OpenAI launches its own AI browser ChatGPT Atlas to challenge Chrome and Apple Safari dominance OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas, an AI-powered web browser designed to redefine how people search, browse, and interact online.

Janine Hirt, CEO of Innovate Finance, whose members include Revolut and Monzo, said: “Fintech is still a tremendous force for good, it is a story of growth, it is a story of inclusion and it is a story of democracy.“We need government and we need regulators to get behind us as well and support this sector. It is imperative that we see fintech properly supported in the budget. “This is how we are going to drive growth, it is how we are going to cement our leadership in financial services.”Hirt, speaking at an Innovate Finance conference, pointed to statistics such as fintech lenders providing more than 60 per cent of SME lending and fintechs “driving job creation” as indicators of its health.But Hirt also pointed to Innovate Finance figures showing the UK had been relegated from second to third place in the global fintech investment landscape, replaced by the UAE, in the first half of 2025.She added: “We have to grasp the opportunity that lies before us, because other countries around the world, they see that opportunity too and they are moving forward and they are moving forward at pace.”Innovate Finance is calling for several reforms in the Autumn budget to help incentivise fintech founders to build in the UK. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/refurbed-closes-44-million-round-as-it-targets-uk-expansion-68fae4ad4a32ec31cd647838 2025-10-22T08:57:42.000Z weekly 0.8 https://cdn.tech.eu/uploads/2025/10/refurbed-featured-762.png Refurbed closes £44 million round as it targets UK expansion Vienna-founded refurbed, a marketplace for refurbished electronics, home, and sports goods, has secured £44 million in its latest funding round.

Called Markovian Thinking, the approach allows LLMs to engage in lengthy reasoning without incurring the prohibitive computational costs that currently limit such tasks.The team’s implementation, an environment named Delethink, structures the reasoning chain into fixed-size chunks, breaking the scaling problem that plagues very long LLM responses. In recent years, researchers have found that using reinforcement learning (RL) to train models to produce longer CoTs (sometimes referred to as LongCoT) has significantly improved their reasoning capabilities.However, the standard method for this has a critical flaw: The AI's state (the prompt plus all the reasoning tokens it has generated thus far in its processing) grows with every new reasoning token. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/is-agentic-coding-just-a-smart-intern-pretending-to-know-more-68f9b2c7035532da3d4b77e7 2025-10-21T04:22:22.000Z weekly 0.8 https://analyticsindiamag.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Ankush_Is-Agentic-Coding-Useless-.jpg Is Agentic Coding Just a Smart Intern Pretending to Know More?

Companies spend time and money training new human workers to succeed, but when they use large language model (LLM) helpers, many treat them like simple tools that need no explanation. The ruling made it clear that companies remain responsible for their AI agents’ statements.Embarrassing hallucinations: In 2025, a syndicated “summer reading list” carried by the Chicago Sun-Times and Philadelphia Inquirer recommended books that didn’t exist; the writer had used AI without adequate verification, prompting retractions and firings.Bias at scale: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOCs) first AI-discrimination settlement involved a recruiting algorithm that auto-rejected older applicants, underscoring how unmonitored systems can amplify bias and create legal risk.Data leakage: After employees pasted sensitive code into ChatGPT, Samsung temporarily banned public gen AI tools on corporate devices — an avoidable misstep with better policy and training.The message is simple: Un-onboarded AI and un-governed usage create legal, security and reputational exposure.Treat AI agents like new hiresEnterprises should onboard AI agents as deliberately as they onboard people — with job descriptions, training curricula, feedback loops and performance reviews. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/nvidia-tsmc-produce-first-blackwell-wafer-in-the-us-boosting-domestic-ai-chip-manufacturing-68f9b2c7035532da3d4b77ef 2025-10-18T16:51:10.000Z weekly 0.8 https://analyticsindiamag.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/tsmc-flag-1280x680-3-scaled.jpg NVIDIA, TSMC Produce First Blackwell Wafer in the US, Boosting Domestic AI Chip Manufacturing NVIDIA and TSMC have produced the first NVIDIA Blackwell wafer on US soil, marking the start of volume production of the AI chip in America.

That is, despite their reputation among some critics as being fancy autocorrect, generative AI models actually generate their outputs by choosing from a distribution of the most probable next tokens (units of information) to fill out their response.Asking an LLM: What is the capital of France? will have it sample its probability distribution for France, capitals, cities, etc. to arrive at the answer Paris.

When we think about what the promise of an AI PC is, it should be capable of three things, Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's Executive Vice President and Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, told reporters at a press conference last week. While hundreds of millions of people have experimented with ChatGPT and similar chatbots, integrating AI directly into the operating system that powers the vast majority of workplace computers could dramatically accelerate mainstream adoption — or create new security and privacy headaches for organizations already struggling to govern employee use of AI tools.How 'Hey Copilot' aims to replace typing with talking on Windows PCsAt the heart of Microsoft's vision is voice interaction, which the company is positioning as the third fundamental input method for PCs after the mouse and keyboard — a comparison that underscores Microsoft's ambitions for reshaping human-computer interaction nearly four decades after the graphical user interface became standard.Starting this week, any Windows 11 user can enable the Hey Copilot wake word with a single click, allowing them to summon Microsoft's AI assistant by voice from anywhere in the operating system. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/ai-powered-business-intelligence-startup-fireai-raises-rs-4-crore-led-by-inflection-point-ventures-68fd87af15a749937b9ce819 2025-10-16T12:04:02.000Z weekly 0.8 https://img-cdn.publive.online/fit-in/1280x960/indianstartupnews/media/media_files/4ySkpnMyDTqjiNJlhWlA.jpg AI-powered business intelligence startup FireAI raises Rs 4 crore led by Inflection Point Ventures AI-powered business intelligence startup FireAI has raised Rs 4 crore in seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures, a Gurugram-based angel investment firm.

Called Agentic Context Engineering (ACE), the framework automatically populates and modifies the context window of large language model (LLM) applications by treating it as an “evolving playbook” that creates and refines strategies as the agent gains experience in its environment.ACE is designed to overcome key limitations of other context-engineering frameworks, preventing the model’s context from degrading as it accumulates more information. The key goal of context engineering is to organize this new information in a way that improves the model’s performance and avoids confusing it. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/arattai-is-just-another-whatsapp-copy-nothing-new-says-okcredit-ceo-netizens-hit-back-68fd87af15a749937b9ce81b 2025-10-16T10:31:58.000Z weekly 0.8 https://img-cdn.publive.online/fit-in/1280x960/indianstartupnews/media/media_files/2025/10/16/okcredit-ceo-calls-arattai-a-whatsapp-copy-netizens-hit-back-2025-10-16-15-59-54.png ‘Arattai is just another WhatsApp copy.

No real innovation, except the emotion it s made in India, he wrote, adding that users switch apps only when the product is 10x better. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/koo-co-founder-mayank-bidawatka-launches-ai-driven-photo-sharing-app-picsee-68f9b2cd035532da3d4b780d 2025-10-16T09:05:11.000Z weekly 0.8 https://img-cdn.publive.online/fit-in/1280x960/indianstartupnews/media/media_files/2025/10/16/koo-cofounder-mayank-bidawatka-launches-picsee-2025-10-16-14-24-39.jpg Koo co-founder Mayank Bidawatka launches AI-driven photo-sharing app PicSee Billion Hearts Software Technologies, founded by serial entrepreneur Mayank Bidawatka, best known as the cofounder of social platform Koo, has unveiled PicSee, an AI-powered mutual photo-sharing app that reimagines how users exchange personal images.

The system works in three steps:First, AI agents must be approved and onboarded through Visa's Intelligent Commerce program, where they undergo vetting to meet trust and reliability standards. The partnership reflects Visa's recognition that solving bot verification requires cooperation across the entire web stack, not just the payments layer. https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/how-rose-rock-bridge-is-building-the-future-of-energy-in-tulsa-oklahoma-68fa58104a32ec31cd638748 2025-10-14T04:00:00.000Z weekly 0.8 https://images.ctfassets.net/jdtwqhzvc2n1/4CvrYLswHJAPv6hA7Y9OEv/05b317701dbf8dd1141e164e77e67446/RRB_VB_Images.final.jpg?w=300&q=30 How Rose Rock Bridge is building the future of energy in Tulsa, Oklahoma Presented by Tulsa Innovation LabsTulsa was once called the oil capital of the world,” and since its launch in 2022, Rose Rock Bridge (RRB), a Tulsa-based non-profit startup incubator led by Tulsa Innovation Labs, has been capitalizing on this heritage, aiming to source and support emerging technologies targeting the energy sector.

This restructuring of knowledge before assimilation serves as a key advantage over models that passively consume new data “as-is.”Performance Across TasksSEAL has been tested across two main domains: knowledge incorporation and few-shot learning.In the knowledge incorporation setting, the researchers evaluated how well a model could internalize new factual content from passages similar to those in the SQuAD dataset, a benchmark reading comprehension dataset introduced by Stanford University in 2016, consisting of over 100,000 crowd-sourced question–answer pairs based on Wikipedia articles (Rajpurkar et al., 2016). https://neecop.com/dashboard/news/deeptech-startup-chara-technologies-raises-rs-52-crore-from-arkam-ventures-others-68f9b2cd035532da3d4b7817 2025-10-13T13:47:46.000Z weekly 0.8 https://img-cdn.publive.online/fit-in/1280x960/indianstartupnews/media/media_files/2025/10/13/chara-technologies-founders-2025-10-13-19-17-22.png Deeptech startup Chara Technologies raises Rs 52 crore from Arkam Ventures, others Deeptech startup Chara Technologies, which manufactures rare-earth-free electric motors and controllers, has raised Rs 52 crore in a funding round led by Arkam Ventures, with participation from Exfinity Venture Partners, Kalaari Capital, and IIMA Ventures.
