Hyderabad, Mar 17th: Indian mining powerhouses – NMDC Limited and GMDC Limited signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore collaborations in Rare Earth Elements and associated minerals on Monday.

Guidance for this strength-based partnership is to develop an integrated and sustainable critical mineral supply chain for India. This partnership paves the way for exploration of rare earth deposits in the country, along with the expansion of R&D capabilities and carbon conscious initiatives in this sub-sector.

The two companies signed the Understanding in the presence of Shri Amitava Mukherjee, CMD, NMDC and Shri Roopwant Singh, IAS, Managing Director, GMDC accompanied by Senior Officers from both sides at the NMDC Headquarters in Hyderabad. Effective from March 16, 2026 for a period of two years, the MOU recommends the formation of a Steering Committee and Working Group to evaluate and enrich the proposed collaboration.

This tie-up is expected to bolster the development of rare earth mining and downstream operations nationwide.

Speaking on this move, Shri Amitava Mukherjee said, “India’s interest in Rare Earth Elements is now a strategic national priority. These minerals sit at the heart of energy security, defence capability, and the push for a truly self-reliant Bharat. Mining companies have been called upon to rise to the occasion. NMDC with GMDC is determined to build a resilient critical mineral supply chain for the country as soon as possible.”

NMDC and GMDC, with their respective momentum in critical mineral mission and rare earth corridor, are also looking at the possibilities of a Joint Venture, Special Purpose Vehicle and strategic business collaborations going forward.

Mumbai, India, Mar 17th: Bark Out Loud by Vivaldis has unveiled its latest campaign for the ‘Thrive’ range of pet food, #ThriveSharedJourney, in collaboration with actress Huma Qureshi. The campaign introduces a powerful shift in perspective, positioning pet wellbeing not as a routine responsibility, but as a shared journey of growth between pets and their parents. 

Today’s pet parents are increasingly intentional about their own lives. They track milestones, upgrade their lifestyles and make conscious choices for long-term growth. However, when it comes to their pets, growth can unintentionally become routine, and progress can be reduced to maintenance. The campaign challenges this behavioural gap and reframes thriving as an active, mindful decision and a result of a truly shared journey. 

At the heart of the narrative lies a simple yet compelling idea: thriving doesn’t happen by proximity. Thriving happens when growth is shared. A shared journey is not about doing everything together – it is about moving forward together. 

The campaign brings actor and pet parent Huma Qureshi on board as the face of Thrive, not as a celebrity endorsement, but as a lived voice for a belief the brand stands for: thriving is never a solo journey. It is always shared.

Speaking on the launch, Kunal Khanna, CEO of Bark Out Loud by Vivaldis, said, “With Thrive, we wanted to move the conversation beyond just product features. Pet parents today love their pets deeply, but there is still a gap when it comes to everyday nutrition awareness. #ThriveSharedJourney is our way of building a more responsible culture of feeding, where thriving becomes a shared commitment between the pet and the parent. Huma brings authenticity to this thought because she genuinely lives it.”

Speaking about the campaign, Devika Khanna, Business Head of Bark Out Loud by Vivaldis, said, “The daily pet food category in India has largely been driven by habit and availability. Thrive has been created to bridge that gap with clean, thoughtfully developed recipes that support digestion and overall wellbeing. Partnering with Huma allows us to tell this story in a way that feels real and relatable. She represents a generation of pet parents who want to do better, not just feel better.”

#ThriveSharedJourney is not positioned as a one-time launch moment, but as an ongoing narrative platform for the brand. Through digital films, creator collaborations and community-led conversations, the campaign will spotlight everyday stories of pet parents who actively participate in their pets’ growth journeys.

The intent is to create a long-term shift in how Indian pet parents view food not as a routine purchase, but as a daily responsibility that directly shapes their pet’s quality of life.

By placing responsibility at the centre of pet love, Bark Out Loud aims to build a new benchmark for everyday nutrition in the Indian market.

Mar 17: Corporate travel is no longer defined by rushed itineraries and back-to-back meetings. Today, it is evolving into a more thoughtful experience that balances productivity with comfort. As Indian companies expand into new markets, business travel is picking up pace. But with packed schedules, flight changes and tight itineraries, many professionals are finding that work trips can quickly become exhausting rather than productive. As travel increases, expectations are shifting. Today’s business travellers are looking for smoother, more flexible journeys, whether that means easier booking options, the ability to adjust plans on the go or a travel experience that allows them to stay focused and refreshed.

1. Flexibility is Essential
Business travel often requires a degree of flexibility. Meetings run over, schedules shift, and priorities change. Flexible fares and booking options allow companies to adjust plans effortlessly, ensuring travel stays smooth.

2. Supporting Both the Company and the Traveller
As business travel grows, companies are increasingly looking for programmes that offer both convenience and added value. With MHcorporate by Malaysia Airlines, businesses can manage work travel more efficiently while offering employees additional benefits – not only for work trips but also when travelling for leisure with their loved ones. When employees book their personal travel through the portal, companies can also earn Corporate Loyalty Points that can be redeemed for flights across the Malaysia Airlines network. This allows organisations to streamline travel management while rewarding both the business and its employees.

3. Travel Supports Business Growth
For many organisations, travel remains a key driver for building partnerships and expanding into new markets. Strong airline networks and reliable regional connectivity help teams move efficiently across key destinations in Asia-Pacific and beyond. Corporate programmes such as MHcorporate by Malaysia Airlines offer structured benefits while keeping travel simple and manageable.

4. Efficiency Makes a Difference
Time saved during travel can be reinvested into business priorities. Reliable routes, convenient connections and smooth coordination all contribute to a more efficient travel experience. For small and medium-sized businesses in particular, a dependable travel programme helps reduce uncertainty and allows teams to focus on their core work.

5. Smarter Travel Planning
Frequent business travellers are increasingly choosing airline partners based on reliability, connectivity and ease of booking. In response, companies are taking a more strategic approach, prioritising long-term value over one-off bookings.

As business travel continues to grow, companies of all sizes are rethinking how they manage it. Flexible options, clear benefits and strong global connectivity are now central to decision-making. Programmes such as MHcorporate by Malaysia Airlines – offering corporate fare benefits, greater booking flexibility, and access to the airlines’ international network – provide a practical way for companies to manage business travel with greater flexibility and value.

Gurugram, Mar 17th:  Gurugram Comic Con, presented by Maruti Suzuki Arena and powered by Crunchyroll, wrapped up its inaugural edition at Gym Khana Club Ground, marking the city’s first-ever Comic Con and drawing over 22,000 footfall across a two-day celebration of pop culture. The debut weekend reflected Gurugram’s fast-growing community of comic readers, anime enthusiasts,  gamers and pop culture fans who brought their energy to the Millennium City’s newest cultural gathering.

From the moment gates opened on March 14, young professionals, students, creators, and fandom communities moved across the venue exploring artist alleys, graphic novel displays, collectible stalls, gaming arenas, and live stage programming.

Attendees navigated between creator sessions, live performances, and immersive brand activations. In a city known for its corporate parks, global offices, and bustling tech corridors like Cyber City and Udyog Vihar, the weekend offered fans a chance to step away from boardrooms and coworking spaces and step into a world of comics, cosplay, and fandom.

The creators’ stage remained one of the biggest attractions across the weekend. Fans gathered for sessions with artists and storytellers including internationally acclaimed comic artist Raymund Bermudez alongside Indian creators and illustrators who shared insights into storytelling, visual design, and the growing global footprint of comic culture.

Another highlight of the programming included conversations around animation and storytelling with the team behind Mahavatar Narasimha, offering audiences a closer look at the craft behind bringing mythology to animated life. Creator-led sessions and live art showcases continued to draw enthusiastic participation, reinforcing the strong creative culture within India’s comic and illustration community.

Music, performances, and comedy kept the stage buzzing throughout the weekend. Comic Con Jukebox delivered energetic live sets featuring performers by prominent Indian rappers like Ikka, Dharmik (Madhusubdhan Sharma), while Gini, a young rising star in the Indian independent music scene also swayed the fans, turning the arena into a lively celebration of fandom and music. The Comic Con Comedy Showcase also played to packed audiences, with comedians including Jaspreet Singh and Onkar Yadav entertaining fans with humour drawn from everyday life and pop culture references.

Cosplay once again emerged as one of the defining highlights of the Gurugram edition. Participants brought a wide spectrum of characters to life from anime, gaming, films, and comic book universes, including fan favourites such as Spider-Man, Deadpool, Batman, Naruto Uzumaki, Tanjiro Kamado from Demon Slayer, Monkey. D. Luffy from One Piece, Harley Quinn, and Geralt of Rivia from the Witcher. The Gurugram Comic Con Cosplay Contest drew large crowds across both days as more than 250 cosplayers competed for a daily cash prize of ₹30,000, showcasing detailed costumes and performances that captured the imagination of the audience.

The Indian Championship of Cosplay – Gurugram Qualifier, presented by Maruti Suzuki Arena, concluded on Sunday, where Vandana Sharma, cosplaying as an Orc from Warcraft, won the title along with ₹50,000 and a qualifying entry to the ICC Finals 2026. The competition saw over 250 cosplayers from across the region bring their favourite characters to life on stage.

The NODWIN Gaming Arena remained one of the most active zones of the venue across the weekend, with fans testing their skills through competitive challenges and interactive gameplay. Experience zones by Maruti Suzuki Arena and Crunchyroll also attracted strong participation as anime fans, gamers, and first-time visitors explored installations, activities, and exclusive fan experiences.

Shefali Johnson, CEO, Comic Con India, said, “Gurugram is a city full of energy. During the week people are busy building companies, working across global teams, and moving between offices in Cyber City and along Golf Course Road. This weekend we saw many of those same people come together as anime fans, gamers, comic readers, and cosplayers. Watching superheroes and anime characters walk through the Millennium City created some really special moments for all of us. A large part of the Comic Con India team works out of Gurugram, so bringing the festival here for the first time felt very personal. The warmth and enthusiasm from the community has been wonderful to see, and it gives us a lot of excitement about growing Gurugram Comic Con in the years ahead.”

Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and Managing Director, NODWIN Gaming, said, “Gurugram is home for us at NODWIN Gaming, so bringing Comic Con here felt incredibly personal. Our headquarters is in this city, and over the weekend it genuinely felt like the entire extended NODWIN family showed up, colleagues, friends, partners, and families all coming together to experience Gurugram’s grandest pop culture celebration. Even my own family spent a good part of the day at the festival and had a great time soaking it all in. Seeing Comic Con come alive in the same city where we built NODWIN made this first Gurugram edition a really special moment for our entire team.”

Across two days, Gurugram Comic Con brought together comic readers, anime fans, gamers, cosplayers, and families under one roof. The inaugural edition demonstrated how strongly pop culture resonates within the Millennium City’s young, globally connected audience.

As the curtains close on its first Gurugram chapter, the festival firmly establishes itself as a new addition to the city’s cultural calendar, setting the stage for even larger celebrations in the years ahead.

Thomson brings over 10 years’ experience in AI technology and strategy from Google, Adobe, and Telstra to one of the industry’s earliest AI-native ad fraud prevention platforms.   

Australia, March 17: TrafficGuard, a leading platform in AI-powered digital ad verification and invalid traffic (IVT) prevention, has appointed Scott Thomson as Head of AI. Thomson will oversee and accelerate the execution and embedment of AI into TrafficGuard’s platform and processes, building on more than eight years of machine learning innovation that has positioned the company at the forefront of ad fraud detection since its founding. He brings over a decade’s worth of experience in technology and AI innovation, having previously worked for Google, Adobe, and Telstra, as well as founding strategic consultancy firm SCRYPTID.   

TrafficGuard was among the first ad verification platforms to deploy machine learning models for real-time invalid traffic detection, processing billions of data points to identify fraud patterns invisible to rules-based systems. That early investment in AI infrastructure now serves as the foundation for the company’s next generation of detection capabilities – engineered to combat an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape.   

“We are delighted to welcome Scott in an executive capacity at a pivotal time for TrafficGuard. His deep expertise in AI spanning Google Cloud, generative AI strategy, and enterprise innovation is directly aligned with where we are taking this business,” said Mat Ratty, CEO of TrafficGuard. “Scott’s appointment accelerates our ability to execute our AI roadmap and deliver advanced fraud prevention to advertisers globally. We look forward to the contribution he will make as we enter our next phase of growth.”   

Scott Thomson will support TrafficGuard’s expansion of its AI capabilities, ensuring the platform is well positioned to manage ad exposure and fraud risks as the digital advertising ecosystem undergoes its most significant shift in a decade. He will leveragehis extensive experience in AI strategy and innovation to accelerate product development and commercial execution, bringing to market advanced solutions that monitor, detect, analyse, and respond to invalid traffic, while driving adoption across new verticals and channels.   

Scott Thomson, Head of AI, Traffic Guard said: “Having served as a non-executive director since early 2024 with TrafficGuard, I’m looking forward to adding my experience and guidance more directly to our already significant team. The AI arms race in ad fraud is real. Fraudsters are already deploying agentic bots and generative AI to evade detection at scale, and staying ahead requires deep AI expertise and a platform built for continuous evolution.   

The appointment comes at a critical inflection point for the industry. The rapid proliferation of agentic AI – autonomous bots capable of browsing, clicking, filling out forms, and mimicking genuine user behaviour, is fundamentally reshaping the threat landscape for digital advertisers. Unlike traditional bot traffic, agentic bots operate with human-like intent patterns, making them significantly harder to detect using conventional verification methods. Industry analysts project that AI-generated invalid traffic will account for an increasingly material share of digital ad spend waste over the coming years, creating an urgent need for AI-native detection that can evolve at the same pace as the threats it defends against.   

“TrafficGuard has a strong foundation in machine learning-driven detection, and I’m here to accelerate what’s next,” said Thompson. “Expanding our AI-powered capabilities beyond fraud detection into intelligent optimisation tools that help advertisers not just protect their spend, but maximise its performance. We’re evolving the platform to cover new channels and deliver actionable insights that turn fraud data into a genuine competitive advantage. Tackling ad fraud has become increasingly essential for advertisers, and I can’t wait to be part of the talented team building the future of ad verification.”   

This strategic appointment will further strengthen TrafficGuard’s commitment to driving innovation in ad fraud prevention. It supports TrafficGuard’s wider global channel growth strategy, following its recent expansion in the United States and the appointment of CPO Miguel Lopes. The company plans to significantly expand its team, enabling brands to boost their revenue and confidently scale advertising campaigns by eliminating invalid traffic. As brands allocate record budgets to digital channels, TrafficGuard’s mission to ensure every ad dollar reaches a real human has never been more commercially critical.
