  • Accrelist Appoints Derek Cheong as Chief Executive Officer

    Group sharpens focus on aesthetics retail under the CEO’s first initiative, a proposed entry into the Xiamen aesthetic clinic market 

    SINGAPORE, June 18 - Accrelist Ltd. (“Accrelist” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, collectively the “Group”), listed on the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”), today announced the appointment of Mr Derek Cheong Sheng Ze (“Mr Cheong”) as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with effect from 16 June 2026. 

    The announcement pursuant to Rule 704(6) of the Catalist Rules, in relation to the appointment of Mr Cheong has been separately announced on the SGXNET. 

    About Mr Cheong 

    Mr Cheong joins Accrelist after a career spent building consumer-facing businesses in Malaysia. Most recently, in his role as Chief Strategy Officer of Thong World Sdn. Bhd, he is advising the organization on growth and expansion plans. 

    Before that, he served as Managing Director of Collab Working Lifestyle Sdn. Bhd., the master franchisee of Xing Fu Tang in Malaysia, where he managed business strategy and financial operations, and oversaw the build-out of the franchise network. He previously sat on the board of Supreme Falcon Sdn. Bhd., which operates in the healthcare sector, and held the role of Project Director at My Vacation Travel Sdn. Bhd., an event management business, giving him exposure to healthcare-adjacent services and experiential consumer brands. 

    Mr Cheong holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom. 

    First Initiative: Entry into the Xiamen Aesthetic Clinic Market 

    The Company has entered into a strategic collaboration through a non-binding term sheet with Mr Zhou, Zan (the “Vendor”) under which Accrelist proposes to acquire a 51% interest in a target company (“Target Company”) to be incorporated by the Vendor in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and  the Target Company shall be establishing and/or acquiring aesthetic business in the PRC (including aesthetics businesses in which the Vendor currently has a controlling interest). The Group will license its A.M Aesthetics brand to the Target Company on a royalty-free basis, allowing the Xiamen clinics to operate under the Group’s flagship aesthetics brand. 

    As his first initiative, Mr Cheong will be driving this collaboration further, giving the Group a stronger positioning in the Greater China aesthetics market. 

    The rationale is twofold. First, the proposed acquisition enhances Accrelist’s foothold in the PRC, one of the largest aesthetics markets in the world, at a valuation anchored to performance, with multi-year visibility on the underlying business before the Group is committed to completion. Second, the licensing arrangement allows the A.M Aesthetics brand to be built in the PRC market in advance of completion, at no cost to the Group. 

    A separate announcement on the entry into a non-binding term sheet in relation to the proposed acquisition has been released on SGXNet and shareholders are advised to refer to that announcement for further details. 

    Sharpening Focus on Aesthetics Retail 

    Under Mr Cheong’s leadership, the Group will continue growing its A.M Aesthetics business, deepening its presence in existing markets and expanding into new ones. The aesthetics sector continues to be one of the fastest-growing consumer segments in the region, and the Group sees significant headroom to scale a differentiated, premium brand across Southeast Asia and Greater China. 

    Consistent with this direction, the Group will keep its broader portfolio under review to ensure that capital and management resources are channelled where they generate most value for shareholders. This includes its 52.5% controlling stake in Catalist-listed Jubilee Industries Holdings Ltd. (SGX: NHD) and its 27.34% strategic stake in Bursa Malaysia-listed MClean Technologies Berhad (KL: MCLEAN), each of which the Group will continue to manage and evaluate as part of its overall capital allocation. Any material developments will be communicated through the appropriate market announcements in due course, in accordance with the Catalist Rules and the rules of any other relevant exchange. 

    Mr Cheong, Chief Executive Officer of Accrelist, said: “It is a privilege to take on this role at a moment when Accrelist is strengthening its position in aesthetics retail. The opportunity in this sector across the region is enormous, and our A.M Aesthetics brand is a competitive platform for scale. The Xiamen collaboration is a deliberate first step: a derisked, strategic venture in a high-growth market, with a clear runway to scale. I look forward to working with Dato’ Terence, the Board and the wider team to deliver value for our shareholders.” 

     

     

  • Airrived Named Gartner Emerging Tech AI Vendor for Transforming Autonomous Security Operations with Agentic AI

    DUBLIN, Calif.– Airrived, the company behind the Agentic OS, today announced it has been named by Gartner as an Emerging Tech AI Vendor in its “Emerging Tech: AI Vendor Race: Most Prominent Use Cases in Agentic AI by Industry” report (June 5, 2026). This recognition follows Airrived’s recent distinction as a twice-named Gartner Tech Innovator in Agentic AI.

    Airrived was spotlighted for its Agentic OS, which enables enterprises to deploy, scale, and manage custom AI agents—positioning the company as a leader in domain-specialized agentic AI for enterprise security, IT, and business operations.

    The Gartner report highlights Airrived in the use-case insight, “AI Agents Proactively Remediate IT and Security Issues to Improve Enterprise Security Posture.” The report details a case study of a global enterprise that faced mounting operational challenges across its security operations center (SOC), security engineering, and compliance functions due to disconnected tools, manual investigations, and repetitive tasks.

    To overcome these hurdles and a lack of specialized AI expertise, the organization deployed Airrived’s modular, agentic AI platform. The solution unified the analyst experience by enabling conversational support across disparate systems like Splunk and CrowdStrike, while integrating prebuilt AI agents to autonomously handle incident triage, gather evidence, and execute audit questionnaires.

    According to the report, “The deployment transformed operations by autonomously handling 90% of SOC alert triage and investigation activities, reducing mean time to respond (MTTR) by 80%, and automating post-incident reporting. AI agents continuously gathered and correlated evidence across security products, improving analyst productivity by 90% while significantly accelerating audit readiness. The AI-driven self-service portal also reduced security engineering ticket volume by 50%, eliminating multiday response delays. As a result, security professionals became creators of AI agents, enabling autonomous operations, scaling expertise, automating decisions, speeding compliance, and focusing on strategic risk reduction over manual tasks.”

    “Being recognized by Gartner validates where the market is heading rather than a destination – from AI experimentation to true autonomous operations at scale – a massive market transformation,” said Anurag Gurtu, Co-Founder and CEO of Airrived. “Our mission is to help organizations transition from AI-assisted workflows to fully autonomous operations while maintaining governance, security, and trust.”

    A Different Kind of Foundation

    While much of the market remains fixated on copilots, wrappers, and orchestration layers dressed up as intelligence, Airrived is building something categorically different: the Agentic OS — a new foundational layer for the enterprise that doesn’t just assist, but executes, adapts, governs, and scales.

    The Agentic OS combines fine-tuned domain models, deep reasoning, multi-agent orchestration, and policy-driven control into a single governed infrastructure. It transforms autonomous AI from experimental capability into trusted, production-grade operation. Others are enabling AI to act.

    Airrived is defining how AI can be trusted to act.

    At the center of this vision is AetherClaw — Airrived’s flagship security capability and the clearest expression of its mission: autonomous systems that operate across every domain of the enterprise, governed by design, and trusted by default.

    Already in Production

    Months after emerging from stealth in February 2026, Airrived is not a promise — it is a platform. The company is already deployed in production at some of the world’s most demanding enterprises:

    • Airrived and Wisdom Technology launched Qatar sovereign cloud with Agentic AI, powering secure, intelligent operations for energy, government, and financial institutions.
    • A Fortune 150 insurance company, running high-volume, mission-critical agentic workflows at enterprise scale.A global bank, with governed autonomous agents operating across regulated financial environments.
    • One of the largest fast-casual restaurant chains in the world, deploying operational intelligence at scale.
    • A major telecom infrastructure provider, running autonomous operations across complex, high-availability infrastructure.

    These deployments are not pilots. They are proof that governed, reliable, scalable agentic intelligence is not a future capability — it is a present one.

    Industry Recognition

    Since emerging from stealth, Airrived has earned major recognition: 2x Gartner Tech Innovator in Agentic AI • Inc. Best Workplaces • Globee Pioneers Award “Best of Category” in AI-Powered App Development Disruptors • Cybersecurity Excellence Award, Agentic AI Platform (highest votes) • Global InfoSec Award, Most Advanced in Agentic AI • Security Today CyberSecured Award • BIG Innovator in Agentic AI • 2026 AI Excellence Award, Business Intelligence Group.

    These honors are not accolades collected at a distance. They are independent validation that Airrived is delivering what the industry has long demanded: agentic AI that enterprises can actually trust.

    What Comes Next

    Gartner’s report makes clear that the urgent imperative for enterprises is to move beyond single-task AI toward multi-agent systems capable of orchestrating complex, cross-domain workflows at scale. The question is no longer whether agentic AI will transform the enterprise. The question is who will build the infrastructure that makes it safe to do so.

    Airrived has answered that question.

  • Bridge Conference closes its second edition with startups shortlisted for investment talks as Jukebox Ventures joins as partner

    200 delegates from the music, tech and startup worlds gathered at Petram Resort & Residences in Umag, Croatia, last month.

    Bridge Conference closes its second edition with startups shortlisted for investment talks as Jukebox Ventures joins as partner

     

    The second edition of Bridge Conference brought 200 delegates from the music, technology, startup, tourism and creative industries to Croatia’s Istrian coast for three days of programming, closing with a tangible result: of more than 50 startups that pitched during the conference’s accelerator programme, 11 have been shortlisted by lead partner Jukebox Ventures for further talks and potential investment.

    This year’s edition was held in partnership with Jukebox Ventures, the music-focused startup accelerator and investment platform.

    “I came back so inspired, there was so much talent in the room,” said Alex Jukes, Founder and CEO of Jukebox Ventures. “We’ve really built something special there for the first year of doing it as Jukebox Ventures… we’ve found 11 projects that we wanna continue further talking to and hopefully, invest further into.”

    Bridge Conference closes its second edition with startups shortlisted for investment talks as Jukebox Ventures joins as partner

     
    The programme drew senior figures from across the live and recorded music business, including Maria May (Head of Electronic, Creative Artists Agency) and Steve Hogan (Agent & Partner, WME), who opened the second day with a keynote on electronic music’s rise from underground scenes to global stages. Further sessions brought together leaders from Sziget, Boom Festival, Yourope, Sony Music Latin-Iberia, Pollstar and the International Live Music Conference.

    Artificial intelligence ran throughout the programme – from “Ticketing 2.0: How AI is Revolutionizing the Ticket Journey” to “The Human Edge: Why Belonging Beats Engagement in the Age of AI,” which weighed technology’s reach against the value of authentic human connection. Other panels tackled the financial realities of building events, data-led artist development, music tourism, women’s leadership across the industry, and sustainability.

    “When we launched Bridge, we hoped to create a place where the future of the industry could be shaped through real human connections,” said Dušan Kovačević, Founder and CEO of EXIT Festival Group. “This year, seeing startups pitch their ideas, investors discover new opportunities and industry leaders begin new conversations showed us that the future is already being built here.”

    Held overlooking the Adriatic, the conference paired high-level sessions with networking events, gala dinners, sunset meetups and its signature La Dolce Vita evenings. Jennifer Cochrane (CEO, Getahead; Booker, EXIT Festival Group) called this year’s edition “nothing short of outstanding,” adding the team is “already looking forward to what next year will bring.”

  • India’s Digital Fraud Rate Nearly Double the Global Average: TransUnion

    New Delhi, June 17 (UDN): India is witnessing an alarming rise in digital fraud, with the rate of suspected online fraud attempts reported to be nearly twice the global average, according to a recent report by TransUnion. The findings have raised concerns over the growing sophistication of cybercriminals and the increasing vulnerability of digital transactions.

    India’s Digital Fraud Rate Nearly Double the Global Average: TransUnion

    Representational image

    The report highlights that as digital adoption continues to expand rapidly across sectors such as banking, e-commerce, financial services, and telecommunications, fraudsters are also leveraging advanced technologies and social engineering techniques to target consumers and businesses.

    Experts attribute the surge in digital fraud to the widespread use of online platforms, increased digital payments, and the growing volume of personal data shared through internet-based services. Common forms of fraud include phishing attacks, identity theft, account takeovers, fake investment schemes, and financial scams conducted through social media and messaging applications.

    The report underscores the need for stronger cybersecurity measures, robust identity verification systems, and greater public awareness to counter emerging digital threats. Industry experts have advised users to exercise caution while sharing personal information online, verify suspicious communications, and adopt multi-factor authentication to safeguard their accounts.

    The findings come at a time when India is experiencing unprecedented growth in digital transactions and internet usage, making cybersecurity a critical component of the country’s digital transformation journey. Stakeholders have called for closer collaboration between government agencies, financial institutions, technology companies, and consumers to strengthen fraud prevention mechanisms and enhance digital trust.

    As cyber threats continue to evolve, the report serves as a reminder of the importance of digital vigilance and the need for continuous efforts to protect users in an increasingly connected world.

  • Beyond Hydration: The Summer Beverages Powering India’s Shift from Energy to Wellness

    As temperatures soar across the country, the Indian refrigerator is undergoing a seasonal makeover. Gone are the days when summer refreshment meant simply reaching for a cold drink. Today’s consumers are increasingly seeking beverages that do more, offering hydration, energy, wellness benefits, convenience, and even moments of indulgence.

    This shift is reshaping India’s beverage landscape, with consumers gravitating toward drinks that align with their lifestyles and daily needs. Whether it’s a quick energy boost during a hectic commute, a refreshing break between meetings, or a wellness-focused addition to everyday routines, beverages are becoming more functional than ever before.

    One category witnessing significant momentum is ready-to-drink coffee. As café culture continues to influence consumption habits, chilled coffee beverages have become a summer staple, particularly among Gen Z and young professionals. Products such as Tata Coffee Grand Cold Coffee are catering to this demand by offering a convenient, on-the-go coffee experience that combines refreshment with indulgence. The rise of cold coffee reflects a broader trend where consumers are looking for beverages that fit seamlessly into fast-paced lifestyles without compromising on taste. 

    At the same time, wellness-oriented beverages are carving out their own space in Indian households. Fermented drinks, once considered niche, are increasingly entering the mainstream as awareness around gut health grows. Kombucha, in particular, has emerged as a preferred choice among health-conscious consumers looking for refreshing alternatives to traditional sugary beverages. Brands like Tetley Kombucha are helping introduce probiotic beverages to a wider audience, reflecting the growing importance of wellness-led consumption.

    The demand for quick and effective energy replenishment remains equally strong during the summer months. Long commutes, outdoor activities, and rising temperatures have made instant-refreshment beverages a key part of everyday life. Functional drinks such as Tata Gluco+ continue to appeal to consumers seeking convenient hydration coupled with an immediate energy boost, especially during busy days spent on the move.

    What ties these trends together is a larger consumer shift toward purposeful consumption. Summer beverages are no longer chosen solely for their ability to cool down the body; they are increasingly expected to support specific needs, whether that is sustained energy, better wellness, convenience, or indulgence.

  • Nila Spaces introduces IKEA-furnished, ready-to-live homes in Ahmedabad

    Ahemedabad , June 17 :Nila Spaces, one of Gujarat’s real estate developers, is introducing IKEA-designed and furnished homes at Vida, its premium residential project in Ahmedabad. A first-of-its-kind offering for a residential project in Gujarat, it leverages IKEA’s life-at-home expertise in functional, well-designed and affordable home furnishing solutions to create a ready-to-move-in format.Nila Spaces introduces IKEA-furnished, ready-to-live homes in Ahmedabad

    At Vida, IKEA has designed show flats across studio, two-bedroom and three-bedroom configurations, offering homebuyers practical inspiration for personalised spaces. New buyers will have the option to have their homes planned and furnished by IKEA, bringing together convenience, functionality and thoughtful design. This reflects a growing shift towards homes that are easier to set up and live in from the outset.

    Residents will also have access to IKEA’s design expertise beyond the initial purchase, helping them plan their spaces over time. Having served customers in Ahmedabad through e-commerce since 2020, IKEA brings a strong understanding of life at home in the city and will work with homeowners to create solutions that reflect their evolving needs.

    Talking about the launch Deep Vadodaria, MD & CEO, Nila Spaces, said,

    “India’s real estate market is evolving rapidly, with homebuyers increasingly looking for homes that are ready to move into and easy to live in from the start. Vida brings together Nila Spaces’ understanding of residential development and IKEA’s expertise in life at home to address a gap we see in urban India, while people invest significant time and resources in buying a home, setting it up often remains a fragmented and time-consuming process. We believe there is growing demand for homes that combine thoughtful planning, functionality and design from day one. What makes this particularly interesting is the shift in consumer attitudes. Homebuyers today are increasingly embracing comfort, convenience and well-designed living experiences, moving beyond traditional concerns around standardisation. They are looking for solutions that simplify everyday life while still allowing their homes to evolve with their needs. We believe this reflects a broader change in expectations and will shape the future of residential development in India, where the focus is increasingly moving from simply delivering homes to delivering a better living experience from day one.”

    Manisha Prabhu, Country Business Manager, IKEA India, said,

    “At IKEA, we start with real life at home- how people cook, rest, work, and grow into their spaces over time. In a city like Ahmedabad, where more people are investing in their first or next home, there is a clear need for solutions that are practical from day one, yet flexible and lasting for years ahead. Nila Spaces are bringing that thinking into the foundation of these homes, making them easier to move into, use, and adapt as life evolves. We are excited about the opportunity that the ready-to-move-in category holds and look forward to learning alongside Nila Spaces.”

    Project Highlights

    ●IKEA designed and furnished show flats: Studio, two-bedroom and three-bedroom flats at Vida will showcase IKEA home furnishing solutions

    ●Ready-to-move-in option for buyers: New buyers can opt for homes with IKEA designed and furnished interiors at the time of purchase

    ●Access to IKEA design expertise: Vida residents will have access to IKEA’s design team to plan and personalise their living spaces over time
