Managing a marketing campaign often means shifting between separate apps for writing, design, scheduling and tracking. The process slows teams down and inflates costs. Noida-based Blinkit-AIbelieves the answer is not another tool, but a single system.
The company, founded in 2021, has raised USD 1.2 million in seed funding from Foliflex Cables (India) Pvt. Ltd. to advance this approach. Chief Executive Officer Anubhav Pandit said the raise is an early step toward simplifying how creative work is delivered.
One Platform, Many Tasks
Blinkit-AI offers a platform where campaigns can be planned, created and distributed in one place. It supports multilingual output and allows teams to adapt material without repeating effort.
“Campaigns often lose time in handoffs between tools. Our aim is to cut those delays at the source,” said Shalabh Sharma, Chief Operations Officer.
Changing Campaign Delivery
For small and mid-sized agencies, the impact of inefficiency is immediate. “Managing too many systems drains both time and energy,” said Shalabh Sharma, COO of Blinkit-AI. “Working within one workflow means teams can focus on content, not coordination.”
Built For Scale
According to Boston Consulting Group, India’s creator economy could reach over $1 trillion in consumer spending by 2030, with direct revenue of $100 to $125 billion. Leaders at Blinkit-AI argue that meeting this scale requires dependable systems, not more fragmented tools.
“India’s digital economy is at a turning point,” said Rahull Jain, CSO of Blinkit-AI. “The future belongs to firms that can deliver at scale with speed and consistency.”
Blinkit-AI said it will use the funds to strengthen products, expand engineering capacity and extend its reach in the market.
Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, spoke at Salesforce’s annual technology event Dreamforce and shared something that anyone would call an ‘Ahh moment.’ According to him, Google built a chatbot before ChatGPT existed. At the time, Google didn’t realise the full potential of AI chatbots, and OpenAI came up with ChatGPT, which suddenly became a big buzz. So, what happened in the background? Why is Google’s Gemini late to the market? What else did Pichai say? For all that, learn more.
Sundar Pichai speaking at Salesforce’s annual technology event Dreamforce
Google’s Early AI Work
According to Sundar Pichai, Google has had its chatbot for many years, but only for internal work. Back then, AI technology wasn’t that advanced, so Google had to keep to itself. As a matter of fact, a Google engineer once claimed that a chatbot was “sentient”, meaning alive or conscious. The concept became famous; however, it isn’t true.
Why Google Didn’t Launch It
He explained how Google, despite having a chatbot, never made it public before OpenAI did. He said the tech was fairly new and had a lot of issues and potential risks. Even if Google risked releasing it, people wouldn’t have been happy with the quality.
“In a different world, we might have launched it a few months later, but it just wasn’t ready yet.”
Sundar Pichai’s reaction to ChatGPT was excitement, not frustration.
OpenAI Got There First
Sundar Pichai gave credit to OpenAI for coming up with ChatGPT first. Enunciating more on that, he said that sometimes another company can go public with the idea that others are working too. That’s how things work in the tech world, he said.
He gave examples to give a perspective on what he said:
In 2006, Google was working on video search; however, YouTube suddenly gained immense popularity.
And Facebook was popular for photos, and then Instagram came out of the blue and became very famous.
Google’s AI Strategy
Pichai explained that Google is working on AI with a “full-stack approach.” Google is working on everything from the bottom to the top, like:
Google is building its own hardware chips to reduce its dependency on others.
Building top research teams includes Google Research, Google Brain, and DeepMind.
And building robust AI models with advanced features added, from time to time.
What Google Is Doing Now
Sundar Pichai also credited Google’s foundation for helping the company quickly catch up with the AI boom. Right now, Google is working on:
Both Google Brain and DeepMind are merged into one.
Constant advancements are being made to its AI model, Gemini.
Google is also working on Gemini 3.0, set to be released later this year.
In order to introduce the C-390 Millennium military transport aircraft in India, Mahindra Group said on 17 October that it has signed an agreement with Embraer Defence & Security. The Mumbai-based Mahindra Group said in a statement that it has inked a historic strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Embraer Defence & Security to advance the C-390 Millennium solution for the Indian Air Force’s Medium Transport Aircraft (MTA) programme.
Alongside the opening of Embraer’s national office in Aerocity, New Delhi, this deal was signed. The agreement expands the area of cooperation to include collaborative marketing, industrialisation, and establishing India as a C-390 Millennium hub, building on the memorandum of understanding signed in February 2024 at the Brazilian Embassy in New Delhi.
Mahindra’s Contract with Embraer
In order to find potential for local manufacturing, assembly facilities, supply chains, and maintenance and repair (MRO) activities, Mahindra Group and Embraer will collaborate closely with Indian stakeholders and interact with the country’s military and aerospace ecosystem, the company said in a press release. According to the statement, the long-term goal is to establish India as a centre for C-390 Millennium aircraft manufacturing and maintenance, meeting both local and regional needs.
By strengthening Mahindra’s partnership with Embraer, the two companies will make sure that the C-390 Millennium for the IAF’s MTA campaign not only supports India’s security and aspirations but also the ‘Make in India’ philosophy and promotes self-reliance, according to Vinod Sahay, Member of the Group Executive Board at Mahindra Group. The number of C-390 Millennium aircraft operating worldwide has grown even more since this recent agreement was signed.
Capabilities and User Base of Embraer’s C-390 Millennium
With the flexibility, adaptability, and performance to meet India’s strategic goals, the C-390 Millennium has already been chosen by air forces in Brazil, Portugal, Hungary, the Netherlands, Austria, South Korea, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Slovakia, and Lithuania, as well as an unidentified customer. India’s aerospace industry is world-class and vibrant, according to Bosco da Costa Junior, President & CEO of Embraer Defence & Security.
The alliance intends to provide the Indian Air Force with the most cutting-edge and dependable military transport solution. “This partnership reflects Embraer’s dedication to ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and the growing friendship between two major economies, Brazil and India,” he continued, adding that it goes beyond just an aerospace agreement. In order to find local manufacturing, assembly, and supply chain capabilities, the alliance would interact with India’s aerospace ecosystem.

JioMart, the digital commerce division of Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL), announced on October 17 that it had extended “quick” deliveries to over 1,000 cities. Alongside its Q2 FY26 results, RRVL released a statement stating that its “quick” delivery operations now cover more than 5,000 pincodes overall.
JioMart’s approach to rapid commerce involves orders being delivered in less than 30 minutes, in contrast to competitors like Blinkit, Instamart, and Zepto that deliver within 10 minutes. With operations spanning 5,000 pin codes and served by over 3,000 outlets in more than 1,000 locations, JioMart is the fastest-growing quick hyper-local commerce platform, according to a statement from RRVL.
Based on this, the conglomerate reported that JioMart’s average daily orders for its 30-minute delivery service increased by 200%+ YoY and 42% QoQ. According to JioMart, the platform’s seller base increased 20% YoY during the reviewed quarter, and it attracted 58 lakh new customers overall in Q2 FY26, up 120% QoQ.
JioMart reported that AJIO Rush, its newly introduced four-hour online clothing delivery service, is currently available in 300 pincodes. The business also stated that “AJIO Rush gained significant traction and was live in over 300 pin codes across the top 6 cities.” It is important to remember that in the first quarter of FY26, AJIO Rush was introduced in six cities. In the meantime, the retail behemoth supported by Reliance said that the rapid clothing service outperformed regular AJIO orders in terms of conversion rates, average selling price, and returns.
According to a statement from RRVL, the service produced better outcomes than the platform average, including a 16% increase in average selling price (ASP), a 17% improvement in conversion rates, and a 500 basis point decrease in sales returns. At the end of Q2 FY26, Shein, which Reliance relaunched in India earlier this year, had more than 25,000 options, over 6 million app downloads, and 11.4 million monthly active users (MAU).
Reliance Retail’s outstanding performance during the quarter was driven by our unwavering commitment to operational excellence, investments in stores and digital platforms, and festive shopping across consumption baskets, according to RRVL executive director Isha Ambani’s statement to the media. As consumers benefit from cheaper prices, adjustments in the GST rate will further stimulate the rise of spending.
Financial Dynamics of Reliance Retail
Overall, Reliance Retail’s net profit increased from INR 2,836 Cr in the previous quarter to INR 3,457 Cr in Q2 FY26, a 21.9% increase. Additionally, revenue from operations increased by 19% to INR 79,128 Cr in the reviewed quarter from INR 66,502 Cr in the second quarter of FY25.
However, the digital streaming division of Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) had a mixed quarter. In Q2 of FY26, JioHotstar averaged about 40 Cr monthly active users, up from an average of 46 Cr MAUs in the previous quarter. This was mostly caused by the OTT platform’s post-IPL slowness. Consolidated net profit for Jio Platforms, RIL’s digital division, increased 13% to INR 7,379 Cr in Q2 FY26 from INR 6,539 Cr in the same quarter last year.
From INR 31,709 Cr in Q2 FY25 to INR 36,332 Cr in the reviewed quarter, operating revenue increased by 15%. During the reviewed quarter, RIL’s net profit increased 16% YoY to INR 22,146 Cr, while its gross revenue increased 10% YoY to INR 2.83 Lakh Cr.

IndiGo airline stated on October 18, 2025, that it has placed a definitive order to purchase 30 more A350-900 aircraft from Airbus in order to expand internationally. With more than 400 aircraft in its fleet and more than 900 on order, the airline has been expanding its worldwide operations. According to IndiGo’s most recent announcement, which omitted financial information, there are currently 60 confirmed orders for the wide-body A350-900.
A long-term investment given the worldwide supply chain issues that cause shortages and delays in the delivery of new aircraft, the carrier has the right to purchase an additional 40 A350 family aircraft. In addition, the airline and Rolls-Royce have inked a deal for the installation of Trent XWB-84 engines in its fleet of Airbus A350 aircraft.
IndiGo Signed a Contract with Airbus
According to a press statement, the airline has a contract with Airbus that confirms the conversion of 30 of its 70 Airbus A350-900 purchase rights into firm orders. With this, IndiGo doubles its wide-body order from 30 to 60 Airbus A350-900 aircraft, the company said in a release. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for these extra 30 aircraft was signed by both parties in June.
The conversion of the Memorandum of Understanding into a firm order for 30 more A350-900s, according to IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers, is evidence of the airline’s faith in the future of Indian aviation and the strategic alliance with Airbus, which is further supported by the successful launch of our long-haul operations.
Elbers said that when these planes are added to our fleet in the upcoming years, they will be crucial in helping IndiGo reach a wider audience and link India with more international locations. Beginning in July, IndiGo began operating long-haul flights using leased wide-body Boeing 787 Dreamliners. In 2027, the airline anticipates adding its first A350-900 aircraft to its fleet. According to a press release from Airbus, as the economy expands and household incomes rise, international travel is booming in India, the aviation sector with the fastest rate of growth in the world.
Why IndiGo Selected A350-900?
It further stated that the A350 is in a prime position to support the nation’s long-distance travel goals. In the press statement, the aircraft manufacturer stated that although the A320 Family aircraft are helping to democratise air travel in India, the A350 has emerged as the benchmark aircraft to help the Indian carrier realise the full potential of the global market.
In the meantime, information on the Rolls-Royce’s price and engine count was kept secret. The Trent XWB-84 engines provide an amazing 84,000 pounds of thrust, industry-leading fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and exceptional dependability for long-haul operations, according to a different news statement from IndiGo. IndiGo said earlier in the day that it will begin flying narrow-body A321XLR aircraft from Delhi and Mumbai to Athens in January 2026.

Capgemini has officially bought WNS (a digital-led business transformation and services company) for $3.3 billion. The official statements from both companies on October 17, 2025, made headlines. Notably, both companies have reportedly come together to strengthen their AI. So, why is it a big deal? What happens to the shareholders next? For all those details, learn more.
About WNS
The company WNS is a digital-led business transformation and services company.
The company has a great clientele of 700+ across several industries, for example, customer experience, finance, HR, procurement, and analytics.
In June, the company had 66,085 employees in 65 delivery centres.
What’s the Deal About?
Capgemini, a French tech and consulting company, has now acquired WNS (Holdings) Limited.
WNS is an Indian-origin BPM (Business Process Management) and a digital services company.
The buying process is now completed as per an agreement signed on July 6, 2025.
To acquire the company, Capgemini paid about $76.50 in cash for each WNS share.
Excluding WNS’s financial debt, the total comes up to about $3.3 billion.
After the deal is finalised, WNS’s shares will not be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
What the Companies Said
Keshav R. Murugesh, CEO of WNS, said:
He expressed his joy at becoming a part of Capgemini.
These two companies have come together to create what they call a “global powerhouse” in the new AI age.
The companies will focus more on building generative and agentic AI.
He has set new goals for the company to build smart, automated, and industry-focused business operations.
He also explained how both companies have similar cultures and values.
Aiman Ezzat, CEO of Capgemini, said:
He mentioned how Capgemini and WNS share the same vision on the same page (to build and transform the AI).
With technologies like WNS’s and industry experience, Capgemini wants to redesign its business processes from start to finish.
He gave a warm welcome to WNS’s 66,000+ employees at Capgemini.
He also emphasised how this move is pushing the company towards becoming a global leader in “Intelligent Operations.”
How Shareholders Will Get Paid
Every shareholder of WNS will receive their details, as mentioned in the scheme circular published by WNS on July 30, 2025.
If you hold your shares through a broker, your finances will be managed by them.
If you are the registered shareholder (i.e., directly on WNS’s register), you can receive your payments through paying agents.
Coca-Cola’s Indian bottling unit is going public (IPO). The talks are in early stages and could possibly happen next year. The company aims to raise about $1 billion and value the company at around $10 billion. If this ever happens, it will be one of the biggest IPOs in India. The IPO has, in a way, become the most anticipated after the company partnered with major global brands. So, what’s the big deal here? Is the hype really worth investing in? For all that, learn more.
About Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (Hccb)
The company sells Coca-Cola products to over 2 million retailers in India.
It’s home to 5,200 employees.
The company’s head office is in Bengaluru, and it operates 14 manufacturing plants across 12 states and 236 districts.
Key Details of Coca-Cola IPO?
Coca-Cola is planning to sell shares of its Indian unit, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. (HCCB) via an IPO. And here’s its key details:
The IPO aims to raise around $1 billion (about INR 8,300 crore).
The goal is to boost the value of the company to $10 billion (around INR 83,000 crore). And that’s a lot of money.
It’s in talks with several bankers to look into the idea, but no banks or advisors have been officially hired for the job.
It’s too early for any official dates or size, and the discussion is still in its early stages.
When the Coca-Cola IPO Could It Happen?
Although nothing is final yet, several reports suggest that if the discussion waves a green flag, the IPO could happen next year, 2026.
Why Is It a Big Deal?
It’s massive because if everything goes well, it will bring one of the world’s most famous brands to India’s very active and happening IPO market.
Notably, India’s IPO is having a record year so far. Other big listings are coming up, such as Coca-Cola and Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio Infocomm, so 2026 is generating high expectations.
Others Foreign IPOs in India
There are others with huge foreign company IPOs in India so far:
LG Electronics had a $1.3 billion IPO in India in October 2025.
Hyundai Motor broke the records with $3.3 billion IPO in 2024.
And now Coca-Cola is expected to follow the same trend of foreign companies listing their Indian subsidiaries.
Why India matters to Coca-Cola?
Coca-Cola is facing intense competition from its rivals, especially Mukesh Ambani’s Campa Cola. A 200ml Campa Cola bottles are sold at INR 10 (about 11 cents) and is gaining market share fast.
Despite India being Coca-Cola’s biggest market, the company needs to push further to maintain its current status.
Healthcare expenses in India are soaring by over 13% in 2025. It necessitates financial protection for your family, now more than ever. A family floater health insurance plan offers a comprehensive, affordable, and flexible solution for all family members under a single sum insured. Read on to know more.
What is a Family Floater Health Insurance Plan?
A family floater health insurance plan refers to a single policy which provides coverage for all family members, spouse, children, and dependent parents under a single sum insured.
Instead of managing separate policies for each member, this is a single policy that serves all, making it very cost-effective and convenient.
For example, you purchase a plan with a Rs. 10 lakh sum insured for a family of four. Any member can use that amount for treatment or hospitalisation within the policy year.
How Do Family Floater Health Insurance Plans Work?
Under a family floater plan, the entire sum insured is shared.
If only one member is hospitalised, the expenses get deducted from the total insured amount.
After the amount is exhausted, no further claims can be made within that year unless the policy includes a restoration benefit that refills the sum insured automatically after a claim is made.
There are many top insurers who offer features like cashless hospitalisation, 24/7 claim assistance, and an extensive hospital network to ensure timely treatment without any financial stress.
Why Choose a Family Floater Plan Over Individual Plans?
While the individual plans provide only personal coverage, they can easily become expensive when you need to cover multiple family members. Here are a few key comparisons between the two:

What are the Top Family Floater Benefits?
Here are a few of the major family floater benefits:
More Protection for a Single Premium
A family floater health insurance coverage requires you to pay only one premium for all the members, saving on costs.
Higher Coverage at Lower Cost
Family plans allow you to enjoy higher coverage amounts without having to make multiple policy payments.
Cashless Hospitalisation
A cashless hospitalisation is another benefit that these plans provide. They allow you to access seamless medical care at network hospitals without having to make any upfront payments.
No Claim Bonus
For every claim-free year within the policy period, you can get rewards and an increased sum insured.
Lifelong Renewability
It enables you to get continuous coverage for your family without any restrictions.
How to Choose the Best Family Health Insurance Plans in India?
Choosing the best family health insurance plans involves comparing coverage, benefits, and premium costs. Here are a few things you need to look for:
Adequate Sum Insured
Choose a sum insured that comfortably covers all family members. In metro cities, for a family of four, a coverage of at least Rs. 10–15 lakh is recommended in 2025.
Hospital Network
Check if the insurer has a vast cashless hospital network. The broader the network, the easier it is to access treatment without financial strain. Opt for an insurer that has over 14,000+ network hospital coverage.
Claim Settlement Ratio (CSR)
A high claim settlement ratio of above 95% reflects the reliability of health insurers in paying claims promptly. This is something you must verify before purchasing a family mediclaim policy.
Add-On Covers
Look for optional covers like critical illness, personal accident, maternity, or restoration benefits for enhanced protection along with your base health plan.
Waiting Periods and Exclusions
Understand the clauses related to waiting periods for pre-existing conditions, maternity, or specific illnesses. Having transparency will help you avoid claim rejections later.
Why Family Floater Health Insurance Is Crucial in 2025?
Soaring Healthcare Costs in Present Times
With treatments for major illnesses like heart disease or cancer easily crossing Rs. 5–10 lakh, a family floater health insurance becomes essential.
Lifestyle Diseases on the Rise
Over 75 million people in India now suffer from hypertension or diabetes. Getting an early and adequate medical Insurance can help mitigate long-term expenses.
Cashless Hospitalisation Trend
The majority of policyholders in 2025 prefer cashless facilities, which is a core feature of most family floater plans.
Financial Security for Dependents
A single medical emergency can wipe out years of savings. A family floater in this instance ensures financial protection without disturbing your goals.
Final Words
A family floater health insurance plan is no longer optional; it is essential. Protect your loved ones under one policy, enjoy cashless treatments, and secure lifelong coverage that grows with your family. This one plan with a single premium will give you complete peace of mind concerning potential health emergencies in the future.
LTIMindtree is in the news for its delayed salary hikes (pay raises) again. The company will now follow a different process. Venu Lambu, EO and MD, stated the same in a quarterly earnings call on October 16, 2025. He also discusses how AI is changing the IT industry. So, what is this new process? How will this affect the LTIMindtree’s employees? Does this have to do with the company’s finances? For all that, learn more.
Salary Hikes Split Into Two Parts
Instead of following the norm, meaning giving the raises at the same time, the company will split the process into two and cover their financial year 2025–26 (FY26).
About 50% of LTIMindtree’s employees are set to receive their salary hikes starting January 1, 2026.
The remaining 50% will get their hikes from April 1, 2026.
Ltimindtree’s Track Record With Delays
LTIMindtree has a reputation for delayed raises. This isn’t the first time:
In FY24 (2023–24), the company delayed its usual April salary hikes to August.
In FY25 (2024–25), the hikes came even later in the Q3 (October–December quarter).
This FY26, the increments are being split into January and April 2026.
So, this pattern shows how salary hikes are pushed to later parts of every year.
The LTIMindtree’s Financials
The company is doing well in terms of revenue, and the numbers look like:
In the July-September 2025 quarter, the company earned a net profit of ₹1,381 crore. It’s a 10.3% increase from INR 1,251 crore a year earlier.
The company also crossed the INR ₹10,000 crore milestone for the first time.
This quarter, LTIMindtree made a revenue of INR 10,394.3 crore.
Last year, in the September 2024 quarter, the company made a revenue of INR 9,432.9 crore.
Many wonder why, despite its strong revenue performance, the company is delaying its salary hike.
What’s Happening in the Industry
Every IT company is going through some form of adjustments. For instance, TCS:
TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) is laying off 12,000 employees. This is happening due to some “skill mismatch.” The company is eliminating 2% of its workforce because it lacks the necessary AI-related skills.
What the CEO Said
While addressing the matter, Venu Lambu said that the “topic of wage hikes is evolving.”
He said:
Big changes are happening for the company right now, especially in AI. According to the IT industry, LTIMindtree is at an “inflexion point.”
He aims to help employees focus on acquiring new AI skills.
He stated that the two-phase pay raise system will become the new standard within the company.
India is the land of spirituality. People from every corner of the world have travelled here, hoping to find meaning or simply a moment of stillness, for centuries. Lately, though, that search isn’t just coming from outside. More and more young Indians are beginning to explore their own spiritual side, sometimes out of curiosity, sometimes to escape the noise of everyday life.
The growing digital connectivity in India has given this further boost, making it “cool” to create reels and post pictures of spiritual tours. As a result, the Indian religious and spiritual market, which stood at $58.56 Bn in 2023, is expected to clock a CAGR of 10% until 2032.
It’s this mix of old wisdom and new possibilities that has given rise to a number of spiritual tech startups across the country. Each one is trying, in its own way, to make the idea of inner peace a little more accessible in today’s fast-moving world.
