Skip straight to the case: (10:35) In October 2024, six members of the Humiston family were sleeping peacefully in their beds in Fall City, Washington.   Parents Sarah and Mark lived in a beautiful lake-front home with their five children - aged between 7 and 15. Sarah and Mark had been having some troubles with their eldest son, who we will call  ‘A'.   He had been caught viewing inappropriate images online and had been struggling with his school work.   On October 21, 2024, A retrieved a gun from the family's gun safe.   He then allegedly shot every single member of his family.  He believed they were all dead and he called 911.  He told dispatchers that his younger brother Benjamin had carried out the massacre before taking his own life. A was incorrect in thinking that his whole family was dead.   His 11 y/o sister had played dead after he shot her and she managed to run to a neighboring property to ask for help.  She told authorities the true story.    In August 2025, new court documents were filed that indicate the Humiston parents were controlling and isolated their children from the community.   “A common theme that has been expressed amongst extended family, neighbors, and those who knew the Humistons is that the children were isolated from the outside world and did not engage socially with many peers – only a select few families that went to their church and were friends of their family,” court documents say. “Furthermore, initial reports indicate the home was abusive, tightly controlled, and dominated by extreme religious beliefs.” A has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.   A debate is currently ongoing in the legal system to determine if he will be tried as an adult or a juvenile.

Folding phones are advancing at light speed. For consumers, the appeal is self-evident: on one hand, folding phones give them the option to have a larger, tablet-like interface that offers enhanced productivity and a better user experience. On the other hand, the fit-in-your-pocket design when folded maintains easy portability. Samsung pioneered the folding phone category in South Africa with the first-generation Galaxy Fold in 2019. The Z Fold series is now in its seventh generation, with the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 launched earlier this month. In this episode of TechCentral's TCS+, Zahir Cajee, mobile experience lead for product and commercial services at Samsung South Africa, talks through the design elements and software features in the newest foldables. Cajee delves into: • What smartphone manufacturers like Samsung are trying to achieve with foldable phones; • The market segments Samsung's Z Fold and Z Flip phones appeal to; • The latest features in the new Z Fold7 and Z Flip7; • The Z Fold7's new 200-megapixel camera; • Samsung's thinking behind the introduction of the lower-cost Samsung Flip7 FE; • The AI features in the new Galaxy Watch8; and • When the new devices are going to be available and how much they'll cost.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Trump's Oil Deal with Pakistan, Tariff Shock for India “Who knows, maybe they'll be selling oil to India someday.” That was Donald Trump's surprise message on Truth Social as he unveiled a new U.S.–Pakistan energy partnership to develop Pakistan's “massive oil reserves.” While no U.S. oil giant has been named yet, Trump signaled a selection is on the way. But the kicker? Just hours earlier, India was hit with a 25% tariff on exports to the U.S., along with vague threats of penalties over its oil trade with Russia. Trump also took aim at India's place in BRICS, calling the 11-member bloc “anti-United States” and accusing it of attacking the dollar. Meanwhile, the U.S. struck a trade deal with South Korea, placing a 15% import tariff on Korean goods—while exempting American exports. Talks with India continue, with Trump suggesting more clarity “by the end of this week.” Markets React, Investors Watch Closely India's stock markets felt the heat after the tariff news. Export-heavy sectors—textiles, pharma, and auto components—are expected to take a hit. Markets had anticipated a 20% tariff, but the extra 5% and mention of penalties jolted investor sentiment. Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) pulled out ₹32,000 crore in July, spooked by the weakening rupee and high valuations. In contrast, domestic institutional investors have pumped in ₹4.12 trillion this year, helping cushion the blow. While the Nifty saw a small recovery to 24,855, experts warn of a short-term dip. Bank of Baroda's Madan Sabnavis expects markets to stabilize quickly, but economists like ICRA's Aditi Nayar caution the tariff could trim India's GDP growth below 6.2% for FY26.  NASA–ISRO's NISAR Takes Off: Earth's New Watchdog “A scientific handshake with the world.” That's how Union Minister Jitendra Singh described the successful launch of NISAR, the world's most advanced Earth-observing satellite, co-developed by NASA and ISRO. Launched aboard ISRO's GSLV-F16 from Sriharikota, the $1.5 billion, SUV-sized satellite will track Earth's surface changes—down to just 1 cm—from 743 km above. Over five years, it will scan the planet twice every 12 days, monitoring melting glaciers, earthquakes, groundwater levels, and carbon emissions from wetlands. Its powerful dual-radar system (L-band from NASA, S-band from ISRO) allows it to peer through clouds, fog, and even ice layers, aiding everything from climate science to disaster response and aviation safety. Operations begin by October-end, with data distributed via Alaska's ASF and India's Bhoonidhi platform.  U.S. Sanctions Six Indian Firms Over Iran Oil Trade Adding more pressure to bilateral ties, the U.S. has sanctioned 33 global entities—including six Indian companies—for dealing in Iranian-origin petrochemicals. Those hit include: Alchemical Solutions Pvt Ltd – $84M in imports Jupiter Dye Chem – $49M worth of toluene Global Industrial Chemicals Ltd – $51M in methanol Ramniklal S. Gosalia & Co – $22M in mixed chemicals Persistent Petrochem – $14M in petrochemical shipments Kanchan Polymers – smaller but notable deals All were designated under Executive Order 13846 for “knowingly” engaging in prohibited trade. The sanctions, which also include 10 blocked vessels, extend to firms in China, UAE, Turkiye, and Indonesia. Though not market-moving yet, they further strain India's trade talks with the U.S. While TCS Cuts 12,000 Jobs, Infosys Hires 20,000 As India's IT sector reels from TCS's record 12,000 layoffs, Infosys is making a contrarian move.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is set to lay off around 12,000 employees, its biggest workforce reduction to date. While the move might seem driven by automation, the company attributes it instead to a widening skills gap. As TCS shifts to newer technologies and agile delivery models, many existing roles especially at the mid and senior levels no longer align with business needs. Bench policies are also being tightened, with extended periods of unassigned time potentially leading to termination. TCS says it will offer support to affected employees, including severance pay, healthcare coverage, and job placement assistance. In this episode, Host Anirban Chowdhury, ET’s Beena Parmar and UnearthInsight CEO Gaurav Vasu unpack how this signals a larger industry shift where digital transformation is reshaping not just what tech companies do, but how they need to do it.You can follow Anirban Chowdhury on his social media: Twitter and Linkedin You can follow Beena Parmar on her Linkedin, Twitter profiles and read her Newspaper Articles.

US Economy Shows Resilience; Major Tech Firms Lay Off Workers While AI Spending Soars

The U.S. economy is demonstrating resilience with strong consumer spending and low unemployment filings, despite looming inflation and tariff pressures. Retail sales rose by 0.6% in June, surpassing expectations and indicating solid growth in gross domestic product for the second quarter. However, concerns about rising import costs, which saw their largest monthly increase in over a year, continue to cast a shadow over the economic outlook. While manufacturers anticipate growth and increased hiring, the uncertainty surrounding tariffs remains a significant concern.IBM's CEO, Arvind Krishna, argues that fears of artificial intelligence (AI) eliminating jobs are exaggerated, suggesting that AI will actually enhance employment opportunities by increasing productivity. He notes that while some clerical roles may be phased out, new job creation will occur in programming and sales. Meanwhile, Gartner forecasts a substantial rise in global IT spending, projected to reach $5.43 trillion in 2025, driven largely by investments in AI infrastructure. This shift indicates a growing trend where companies must adapt to the changing landscape or risk being left behind.The podcast also discusses recent layoffs at major tech firms, including Microsoft, Tata Consultancy Services, and Intel, as they navigate the challenges posed by AI and automation. Microsoft has laid off approximately 9,000 employees while reporting significant revenue growth, highlighting the paradox of job cuts amid financial success. Similarly, TCS plans to cut 12,000 jobs, primarily affecting senior and mid-level positions, as clients demand AI-driven services and cost reductions. This trend underscores the rapid transformation of the workforce as companies pivot towards automation and higher-margin activities.Legislative updates include the Federal Communications Commission's review of state laws on AI, aimed at reducing regulations to promote American AI systems. Critics argue that this approach lacks a comprehensive vision for AI innovation. In the UK, a court has denied WhatsApp's intervention in a case involving Apple's compliance with government orders to access encrypted data, raising concerns about privacy. Additionally, New York has announced stricter cybersecurity regulations for water utilities, emphasizing the need for enhanced security measures in critical infrastructure. These developments reflect a broader struggle between regulatory frameworks and the fast-evolving tech landscape. Four things to know today 00:00 U.S. Economy Grows Steadily as AI Reshapes Labor and IT Spend Soars to $5.43 Trillion04:45 Global Policy Divide on AI and Cybersecurity Widens as U.S., UK, and New York Take Conflicting Regulatory Paths07:54 Layoffs Mount Across Tech and Services as AI Drives Shift Toward Margin, Not Manpower12:09 Intel Restructures for AI Future with Major Layoffs, Factory Slowdown, and Network Division Spinoff Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/ https://businessof.tech/sponsor/moovila/  Tell us about a newsletter!https://bit.ly/biztechnewsletter All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. 1. TCS Cuts Jobs to “Realign the Future” India's largest IT firm, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), is laying off 12,261 employees—roughly 2% of its global workforce—in FY26. The move, largely targeting mid-to-senior management, is part of TCS's shift toward becoming a “Future-Ready”, AI-driven organisation. Despite a fresh 5,000 hires in Q1, the company's attrition ticked up to 13.8%, prompting tighter policies on bench strength and billing mandates. CFO Samir Seksaria's earlier assurance of wage hikes is now shadowed by cost cuts. CEO K. Krithivasan remains cautious, citing macro headwinds and a low likelihood of double-digit growth. TCS joins Microsoft and other tech majors who are navigating the AI disruption with painful workforce realignments. 2. Trump's EU Tariff Countdown Just days before an August 1 tariff deadline, Donald Trump is pushing hard for a new US-EU trade deal, demanding “fairness” on cars and agriculture. Meeting European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland, Trump said there's a “good chance” of a breakthrough, while von der Leyen pegged the odds at 50-50. If talks collapse, EU exports could face up to 30% tariffs on top of existing duties. With $1.9 trillion in annual trade on the line, this is a critical test for transatlantic ties—and a volatile moment for global markets. 3. Rudra & Bhairav: India's New Strike Force In a bold military reorganisation, the Indian Army has launched ‘Rudra' all-arms brigades and ‘Bhairav' light commando battalions to enhance border readiness against China and Pakistan. Unveiled on Kargil Vijay Diwas, these new formations blend infantry, tanks, artillery, UAVs, and special forces into agile, tech-powered units. Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said this realignment—without adding new troops—will “multiply operational capabilities manifold.” Over 250 brigades will be converted into all-arms formations, marking a major pivot toward future-ready warfare. 4. Coforge Rises to #7 in Indian IT Coforge, formerly NIIT Technologies, has overtaken Mphasis to become India's seventh-largest IT services provider. Clocking $442 million in revenue for the June quarter, Coforge is riding high on a $1.56 billion deal with Sabre and its acquisition of Cigniti Technologies. With operating margins flat at 13.1% and negative free cash flow, challenges remain—but analysts expect Coforge to hit a $2 billion run-rate by June 2026, potentially cracking the top 6 alongside Tech Mahindra and LTIMindtree. CEO Sudhir Singh is confident: “H2 should also be robust.” The mid-cap IT race is heating up, even as the top four remain unchanged. 5. UK Faces Vote on Palestinian Statehood Following France's bold UN pledge to recognise Palestine, Britain is now under pressure to act. The Scottish National Party (SNP) has vowed to introduce a Palestine Recognition Bill when Parliament resumes in September. Leader Stephen Flynn says if PM Keir Starmer stalls, the SNP will force a full parliamentary vote. Over 220 MPs, including many from Labour, back recognition, citing the escalating crisis in Gaza. While Starmer, Italy, and Germany prefer a peace-first approach, critics warn that waiting might mean never acting at all. With 142 nations already recognising Palestine, the UK's next move will be closely watched. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

IT security breaches are on the rise in South Africa and worldwide, and with AI tools at their disposal, criminals are scaling up their attacks. With the risk of attack so high, organisations are forced to look beyond beefing up security – they must prepare for the unfortunate event where their systems are, in fact, breached. One way to do this is to learn from those organisations whose systems have been breached in the past. This episode of TechCentral's TCS+, the third in a series of three with First Distribution on how to manage cyber crises – watch episodes 1 and 2 here – sees Microsoft portfolio manager at First Distribution Kejen Pillay back to share more insight on this topic. Pillay discusses various lessons from: - The TransUnion breach of March 2022, where 5.2 million records were compromised and a US$15-million ransom demanded; - The CIPC hack of February 2024 and the media furore that ensued; and - The National Health Laboratory Services breach of June 2024.

In today's hyperconnected society, a cybersecurity crisis isn't just a technical glitch; it's a profound disruption that can bring businesses, governments and even entire countries to a halt. For organisations to protect themselves effectively, they must understand what cybercriminals are capable of, where the vulnerabilities in their own systems are and – most importantly – be prepared for the worst-case scenario where their systems are breached. In this episode of TechCentral's TCS+, Kejen Pillay, Microsoft portfolio manager at First Distribution, discusses the anatomy of a cyber crisis and how businesses should prepare for it. Pillay delves into: • The difference between a cyberthreat and a cyber crisis; • How cybercriminals are using AI tools to develop increasingly sophisticated methods of attack; • How organisations can keep pace with the rapid changes in the threat landscape to keep their systems secure; • The difference between a crisis management plan and an incident response plan; • Some common errors businesses make when responding to a cyber crisis; and • What South Africa's leading organisations are doing to prepare for a cyber crisis.

Ep. 170: Zohran Mamdani's Color Revolution in New York will not end well

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-zohran-mamdani-and-the-coming-crisis-for-hindus-in-america-13908482.htmlI have long felt the Deep State works on a single playbook in its foreign policy: regime-change, or what is colloquially called ‘Color Revolutions'. It is a simple routine: in some remote country, declare the ruling dispensation to be mad dogs, and shoot them, metaphorically if not in reality. Anoint a ‘friend' as the new chief. All hail to him/her! The pliant media goes along.There have been innumerable such plays all over the world, and most of the time, the results have been bad to disastrous for the country in question. Just look at Ukraine, Iraq, Libya, and Syria for recent examples. Iran, too, when Mossadegh was toppled because of, what else, oil: BP was annoyed at him for nationalizing Iranian oil.As an aside, I have wondered why Deep State did not orchestrate a color revolution against the Nehru Dynasty. On the face of it, there were plenty of reasons to do so: Jawaharlal's embrace of the Soviet Union, Indira's defiance regarding East Pakistan, and so on. So why didn't they topple the Dynasty and install a puppet, as they did with Mohammed Yunus in Bangladesh?Maybe India was just too unimportant. Or maybe, just maybe, the Nehru Dynasty was in fact the Deep State puppet already in place. Was Jawaharlal hand-picked, and didn't even know?So is Zohran Mamdani's rise the first Color Revolution in the US? A friend claimed that it wasn't, and that Barack Obama was the first. That is a debatable point, but one could argue that Obama 1 & 2, and Obama 3 (Biden's term) were the worst presidencies in US history.While there have been many good opinion pieces written about Mamdani's rise and rise, for instance by Jaggi and Avatans Kumar, I would like to focus on the broader implications of what Deep State might achieve by rolling out a Color Revolution in its own backyard. It's one thing to mess up a far-off country, and entirely a different thing to screw up your own premier city. This is a high-risk (and presumably high-return) strategy for Deep State.Of course, the UK Deep State (aka Whitehall) may well be leading the US Deep State by the nose. I called it a “master-blaster” relationship, hat tip to Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. This color revolution possibility is not something I invented out of thin air, I give due credit to, among others, San for noting this possibility, along with many other unusual things about the Mamdani campaign, including its connection to Soros, as well as the uncompromising religious bigotry and use of dog-whistles against, for instance, Jews and Hindus. So Zohran Mamdani is worth watching, and so is his father, Columbia Professor Mamdani, who wrote something alarming in his 2004 book Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror: see an excerpt below that seems to justify suicide bombing as a tactic. Of course, he may just have been doing an academic analysis, and surely, what the father said cannot be attributed to the son, but we can wonder about early influences on Zohran.Beyond the personal proclivities of the man and family, there is a mixture of Islamist radicalism and extreme-left radicalism in Zohran Mamdani's background. Some have called his rise a victory for the Red-Green Alliance, which is of significance to India, because here too we have often seen such a combination in play. Besides, it's notable that Mamdani has never said a word about atrocities committed on Hindus in Pakistan/Bangladesh or even in India, though he's quick to make up atrocity literature alleging “Gujarati Muslims have been wiped out” in India. About 10 million Gujarati Muslims may like to differ. Amazingly, the very people whom Mamdani is supposed to be emancipating, the underclass blacks and other low-income residents of NYC, did not vote for him. His victory in the Democratic primary came from young, well-off whites and “Asians” (the same Asians as in the UK?), and unions. That itself is telling. The bigger question, though, is how this relates to the eclipse of the West. I take the UK as Exhibit A. There was a recent article in the Economist magazine about how Britain is now a cheap country. In other words, the per capita income has fallen, and British assets are valued low, because there is a general perception of malaise, partly because manufacturing has collapsed.The headline is precious. It reminds me of the subtitle to Stanley Kubrik's “Dr Strangelove: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb”. Right on, cheers, tally-ho!It was hugely entertaining to also listen to an Economist podcast which suggested that a “services-led economy” would be the UK's savior. Raghuram Rajan, take a bow. Necessity being the mother of invention, I suppose. There is not a single product of British manufacturing that anybody wants (with the possible exception of Rolls-Royce aircraft engines). They were able to dump their inferior goods on defenseless colonies (read: India) but those days are over.They are now apparently depending on services (e.g., their journalism, which, with its clipped accents, impresses Americans, but is available to the highest bidder. The word “Presstitutes” leaps to mind). In addition, IT services, it seems, given their convenient time zone. And cheap IT labor. Yes, direct threat to India. Wipro, Infosys, TCS, I am sure are paralyzed with fear. The UK is, in many ways, the canary in the coalmine. Its precipitous decline is related to the fact that it is a small island off northwest Asia, whereas of course the US is a continent-sized country with massive resources. But the other factors: the previous holder of the global reserve currency, the previous dominant superpower, etc., are relevant to the US.To be honest, I have no idea what the UK's elites are thinking, because their current trajectory is going to end in disaster. As I have said before, they have fancied themselves as dealmakers extraordinaire, with Whitehall leading the world in mischief. But they were too clever by half: their homeland is collapsing. I don't mind, it's schadenfreude time, but I wonder what 3-d chess they are playing. I wonder if the US Deep State has a clue that the US could end up like the UK. The one thing that has sustained the UK in the last few decades is their financial services. But with the LIBOR scandal and Brexit, that game is also moving on: to Frankfurt, Singapore, Dubai (and eventually I guess GIFT City, India). The City of London, the name of the financial district, has been decimated. This is a warning to Wall Street in New York City.Another warning comes from California in general, and San Francisco in particular. Once the most appealing of American cities, it has been turned into a fetid, dangerous place full of yes, “street-shitters” and fentanyl addicts. The main culprit has been rule by left-wing extremists who put in place the ingredients for terminal decline: for instance, a moratorium on prosecuting any property crimes worth less than $950, which led to the hollowing out of retail downtown.I am not saying New York City is a pleasant place especially compared to what San Francisco was (I lived for a long time in the suburbs of both, so I have personal experience) but there is surely a lot that can go wrong with socialism of the Mamdani variety. Exhibits A, B, C: Venezuela, Cuba, etc. What is of more immediate concern to Hindus is that the US will become more dangerous for them. As it is, the amount of racial hatred and animosity towards brown Hindus has grown perceptibly, aided by social media ‘influencers' who are likely paid by ISI/CCP/Deep State. There is also the element of envy, as Hindus have risen to high positions, mostly by way of hard work and smarts. In analogy with Jews, this envy can turn into poisonous bigotry. We have seen how Kristallnachts develop. And then Final Solutions. The UK has seen, along with the growth of its Muslim population (“demography is destiny”) a concomitant level of animosity and violence against Hindus: see Leicester; and the British establishment is so afraid of Muslims that they will not take any steps to curb their acts. This is leading to clear and present danger for Hindus. We have seen this movie before.In addition to the increasing animosity towards H1-B holding Indians, who are predominantly Hindus, a victory for Zohran Mamdani will basically make it clear to US Hindus that their days are numbered, and that the US may rapidly follow the UK into societal and economic collapse. It's a sobering thought. Do we have a Plan B?1330 words, 15 Jul 2025 This is a public episode.

Timestamps: (7:58) - Stockdale Family In 2008, the Stockdale family from Ohio appeared on the reality TV show ‘Wife Swap.'  Kathy and Timothy Stockdale were raising their four sons in a very strict, conservative manner.   This is an excerpt from the family manual Kathy prepared for ‘Wife Swap.'  We moved to the country to get the boys away from the city. Our children are being raised away from violent language, sexual influences, drinking, smoking, drugs, rap music all the things we left behind in the city. Instead we are raising our children on a diet of wholesome activities and farm work; keeping their minds pure and their bodies healthy and keeping out the influences of modern society. That is why we home-school. By 2017, two of the children remained in the family home - Jacob and James.  One day that year, while Timothy was at work, Jacob fatally shot his brother James and his mother Kathy.   He then attempted to take his own life by shooting himself in the head.  He survived and was hospitalised for many months. After he recovered, Jacob was charged with the murders of his mother and brother.   No motive for the killings has ever been revealed.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has collaborated with MIT Sloan Management Review (MIT SMR) to launch a new research series to explore the next phase of human and AI collaboration in large enterprises. As enterprises the world over are proactively investing in deploying AI-led solutions to transform their business operations, this multi-sectoral study deeply examines the new paradigms that will redefine the use of AI in global enterprise environments. In a series of research articles covering Manufacturing, Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods, BFSI, Life Sciences and Healthcare, Energy, Resources and Utilities, and Communications, Media and Technology sectors, the study investigates how business leaders are deploying AI augmented solutions to gain a competitive edge from better decisions. The study on the theme of Human-Centric AI spans six key sectors and finds that generative and predictive AI can initiate a transformative change that drives competitive advantage. The year-long research that was conceptualised and executed jointly by MIT SMR and TCS drew insights experts and pioneers from organisations such as Walmart, Meta, MasterCard, and Pernod Ricard. The research identifies one critical shift: AI is moving from advisor to architect. In simple terms, AI's value shifts from improving business processes to improving the quality of options to facilitate better decision-making. Companies that master this transition are pulling ahead of those still trapped in traditional decision-making frameworks. TCS' industry expertise in strategising and supporting large global organisations in their AI-led digital transformation journeys using both generative and predictive AI along with the academic rigor of MIT SMR bring forth new and fresh thinking about using AI to augment and inform Human Intelligence. The collaborative research has revealed the emergence of intelligent choice architectures (ICAs) - a new paradigm where human-centric AI systems proactively participate in structuring and shaping strategic decisions by generating novel options, predicting outcomes, and guiding choices. Michael Schrage, Research fellow at MIT Sloan's Initiative on the Digital Economy and report coauthor, said, "ICAs flip the script. They do not just learn from decisions - they learn how to improve the environment in which decisions are made. That's not analytics, that's architecture." Ashok Krish, Head, AI Practice, TCS, said, "By augmenting human judgment with machine intelligence, ICAs shift AI from task automation to building superior decision environments for complex multi-factorial situations, enabling more trackable, traceable outcomes that ensure accountability. They help align talent development strategies with organisational goals, making it easier to identify and nurture high-potential employees in the AI-era. Ultimately, ICAs foster environments where human judgement and AI work together seamlessly to create connected organisation intelligence, where smarter and more informed decisions are made." Through this new study with MIT SMR, TCS extends its long-standing commitment to understand and uncover new trends in the industry and aid partners in integrating new technologies and frameworks. Over the years, TCS has collaborated with MIT SMR on industry research about direct-to-consumer enterprises, workforce empowerment, digital inclusion, retailing, and customer experience among others. Through its partnership with MIT SMR and 50 other academic institutions, TCS curates collective intelligence that enterprises can tap into. The sector-specific study provides compelling examples of ICAs in action to optimize choices, reallocate decision rights, and boost their bottom lines. Organisations using GenAI have helped achieve higher productivity and efficiency and cut costs while unlocking newer growth opportunities. In retail, AI enables retailers to both anticipate and address ma...

Other than the fact that they are, well, large, well-respected and innovative?They all operate their own development and innovation centres in India. Often sprawling campuses and offices across multiple cities, filled with Indian engineers, project managers, product experts, designers, HR, finance and, well, virtually every function that's required to run a business.They're called GCCs. Global Capability Centres.There are over 1,000 global organisations that collectively operate over 1,700 GCCs across India. They employ over 2 million professionals. They generate over $40 billion in annual value, set to surpass $100 billion in another five years.So, what's the problem?Well, most GCCs are technically doing work that could have been outsourced to Indian outsourcers like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL, etc. In fact, GCCs are so successful a strategy that they're growing much faster than Indian outsourcers.And as if taking away potential revenue from Indian outsourcers weren't enough, GCCs are now also taking away talent. That's right. They're hiring experienced and talented professionals using higher salaries, better brands and the promise of better work.It appears to be a zero-sum game.

€0.5m in funding for Trinity to develop AI platform for teachers

A team of researchers at Trinity College Dublin has received €500,000 in funding to develop an AI-enabled platform to help teachers create assessments and provide formative feedback to learners. The project is called Diotima and is supported by The Learnovate Centre, a global research and innovation centre in learning technology in Trinity College Dublin. Diotima began its partnership with Learnovate in February this year and is expected to spin out as a company in 2026. The €500,000 funding was granted under Enterprise Ireland's Commercialisation Fund, which supports third-level researchers to translate their research into innovative and commercially viable products, services and companies. Diotima supports teaching practice by using responsible AI to provide learners with feedback, leading to more and better assessments and improved learning outcomes for students, and a more manageable workload for teachers. The project was co-founded by Siobhan Ryan, a former secondary school teacher, biochemist and environmental scientist, and Jonathan Dempsey, an EdTech professional with both start-up and corporate experience. Associate Professor Ann Devitt, Head of the Trinity School of Education, and Carl Vogel, Professor of Computational Linguistics and Director of the Trinity Centre for Computing and Language Studies, are serving as co-principal investigators on the project. Diotima received the funding in February. Since then, the project leaders have established an education advisory group formed of representatives from post-primary and professional education organisations. The Enterprise Ireland funding has facilitated the hiring of two post-doctoral researchers. They are now leading AI research ahead of the launch of an initial version of the platform in September 2025. Diotima aims to conduct two major trials of the platform as they also seek investment. Co-founder Siobhan Ryan is Diotima's Learning Lead. After a 12-year career in the brewing industry with Diageo, Siobhan re-trained as a secondary school teacher before leaving the profession to develop the business case for a formative assessment and feedback platform. Her experience in the classroom made her realise that she could have a greater impact by leveraging AI to create a platform to support teachers in a safe, transparent, and empowering way. Her fellow co-founder Jonathan Dempsey is Commercial Lead at Diotima. He had been CEO of the Enterprise Ireland-backed EdTech firm Digitary, which is now part of multinational Instructure Inc. He held the role of Director of UK and Ireland for US education system provider Ellucian and Head of Education and Education Platforms for Europe with Indian multinational TCS. Jonathan has a wealth of experience at bringing education technologies to market. Learnovate Centre Director Nessa McEniff says: "We are delighted to have collaborated with the Diotima team to secure €500,000 investment from Enterprise Ireland's Commercialisation Fund. Diotima promises to develop into a revolutionary platform for learners in secondary schools and professional education organisations, delivering formative feedback and better outcomes overall. We look forward to supporting them further as they continue to develop the platform in the months ahead." Enterprise Ireland Head of Research, Innovation and Infrastructure Marina Donohoe says: "Enterprise Ireland is delighted to support Diotima under the Commercialisation Fund. We look forward to seeing them continue in their mission to transform teaching practice through AI enabled assessment and feedback. We believe that the combination of excellence in AI and in education from Trinity College, expertise in education technology from the Learnovate Centre and focus on compliance with the EU AI Act and other regulations will see the Diotima team make a global impact". Diotima Learning Lead and co-founder Siobhan Ryan says: "We're delighted to have received such a significant award from the Enterprise Ireland C...

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has announced the expansion of its capabilities in the rapidly evolving Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) space. TCS sets up two new Automotive Delivery Centres in Germany - located in Munich and Villingen-Schwenningen, as well as an engineering centre in Romania. These new hubs mark a strategic move to help TCS' global automotive clients accelerate their transition to next-gen mobility solutions. The delivery centres in Germany will support automakers in developing and deploying TCS's software-driven services that cater to autonomous driving, infotainment, safety systems, and connected vehicle technologies. Meanwhile, the engineering centre in Romania will focus on designing and building advanced automotive software platforms to support early-stage development and innovation. This expansion is part of TCS's long-term strategy to strengthen its end-to-end automotive software capabilities, chip-to-cloud technologies, and services. In Ireland, the TCS team operating out of its Global Delivery Centre in Letterkenny works closely with its locally based client, JLR (Jaguar Land Rover), to support them in their move from a traditional automotive manufacturer to a software-centric organisation. The strategic location of these centres will enable close collaboration with leading European OEMs and global automotive enterprises, providing nearshore capabilities. The new centres currently house over 100 talented professionals who will work together with more than 2000 SDV Engineers across TCS global locations, including Ireland. This diverse and global talent pool will enable the development of next-generation automotive platforms for digital cockpits and infotainment, advanced driver assistance systems, and other critical SDV functions, supporting the full product lifecycle from concept and development to production and post-launch support. Regu Ayyaswamy, Senior Vice President & Global Head, Internet of Things (IoT) and Digital Engineering at TCS, said, "These new centres will position TCS at the forefront of automotive innovation, enabling us to deliver state-of-the-art solutions in autonomous driving and advanced cockpit systems. This expansion reaffirms our commitment to leading the transformation in the Software-Defined Vehicles space." TCS' expansion aligns with the global automotive industry's shift toward software-defined, connected, and autonomous mobility. As demand grows for intelligent vehicle technologies, TCS is well-positioned to lead the transformation. Europe is a strategically significant location for TCS's automotive delivery hubs due to its robust automotive industry and the presence of numerous leading automotive manufacturers in the region. TCS has been serving automotive customers in Europe for the past 25 years and has a strong presence in automotive hubs across the region, including Ireland. The organisation has been delivering innovative solutions in digital cockpit, electrification, autonomous vehicles, and connected car ecosystems through digital engineering, IoT, cloud, and data analytics. TCS also leverages Generative AI to accelerate product development with feature generation and testing in SDVs, enabling faster innovation and enhanced personalisation. Anupam Singhal, President and Business Group Head, Manufacturing, TCS, said, "The shift to software-defined vehicles marks a defining moment for the automotive industry. With the launch of these new centres, we are deepening our commitment to support OEMs in building the next generation of intelligent, connected, and sustainable vehicles. This expansion is a key milestone in our journey toward Future-Ready Mobility - where software, engineering, and design, backed by AI, converge to deliver safer, more personalised, and continuously enriching experiences for drivers and passengers."
