    Uttar Pradesh Global Growth Dialogue 2026: UP receives investment proposals worth over INR 50,000 crore at Bengaluru roadshow

    Bengaluru/New Delhi, June 24: The Yogi government’s efforts to position Uttar Pradesh as a preferred investment destination received another major boost as the state secured investment proposals worth over ₹50,000 crore during the Uttar Pradesh Global Growth Dialogue 2026 in Bengaluru.

    Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who visited Bengaluru with the vision of attracting investors and transforming Uttar Pradesh into a one-trillion-dollar economy, engaged with leading global companies, Global Capability Center (GCC) operators, technology firms, infrastructure developers, and investors during the event.

    As part of a series of roundtable discussions, Uttar Pradesh received investment proposals worth more than ₹50,000 crore from over 15 companies. MoUs were signed between the state government and various companies. These investments are expected to create new opportunities in industrial development, Global Capability Centers (GCCs), electronics manufacturing, logistics, and other key sectors.

    The largest investment commitments came in the industrial and business park segment. Horizon (Blackstone) proposed an investment of ₹10,000 crore, Embassy ₹5,000 crore, Raheja Mindspace REIT ₹5,000 crore, Prestige ₹15,000 crore, and Sattva Developers ₹4,000 crore. Shriram Properties also signed an MoU to develop private industrial and business parks in Uttar Pradesh. These projects are expected to strengthen the state’s modern industrial infrastructure and generate large-scale employment opportunities.

    Uttar Pradesh also received major investment proposals in the Global Capability Center (GCC) sector. Companies including LG, Aon, MetLife, and Table Space signed MoUs with the state. In addition, TeamLease signed a non-financial MoU in the presence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to support GCC talent development in Uttar Pradesh.

    The partnership aims to strengthen the pipeline of skilled professionals in the state, ensuring businesses have access to future-ready talent. It is also expected to reinforce Uttar Pradesh’s position as a preferred destination for Global Capability Centers and knowledge-based industries. Several other prominent companies also expressed interest in investing in the state.

    Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held strategic discussions with senior executives of leading companies across three roundtable sessions. The first session, Future of Urban Infrastructure, focused on the future of urban development. The second session, The Next Tech Frontier: Global Capability Centers, IT and IT-Enabled Services, explored emerging technologies and innovation. The third session, UP Growth Journey: Rising FDI, deliberated on the role of foreign direct investment in the state’s development trajectory.

    During these interactions, the Chief Minister invited industry leaders to become part of Uttar Pradesh’s rapidly evolving investment ecosystem. Highlighting progressive policies, robust infrastructure, transparent and responsive governance, and one of India’s most competitive incentive frameworks, he encouraged businesses to invest in the state.

    Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also presented the state’s roadmap to establish Uttar Pradesh as a leading GCC hub. He stated that the government aims to develop 40 million square feet of Grade-A office space and establish 500 GCC units by 2031.

    The state is producing a talent pool of nearly 200,000 STEM graduates annually. The government’s focus is on skill development in emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Cybersecurity, and Cloud Computing.

    Uttar Pradesh is also working towards becoming one of India’s top three destinations for foreign direct investment (FDI).

    With its emphasis on transparency, ease of doing business, security, policy stability, and investor-friendly governance, the state is emerging as one of India’s most attractive destinations for technology-driven growth and global business expansion.

  • 84 percent of Banking Leaders in India Report Rising Fraud Losses, Up from 57 percent Last Year, BioCatch Survey Finds

    Chennai, June 24: Financial institutions around the world appear very concerned about the present and future of AI-driven fraud. In a new survey of 1,440 fraud-management, anti-money laundering (AML), and risk and compliance leaders at banks in 25 countries on five continents, 84% of respondents recognize AI agents as the industry’s greatest exploitable vulnerability in the next year, 88% say AI has already increased the sophistication of fraud, 60% expect AI-mediated banking to reduce the effectiveness of traditional fraud defenses, and 72% believe it will be very difficult to distinguish between legitimate AI-assisted actions and malicious or manipulated AI activity in a future where AI agents commonly initiate transactions.
     
    “AI is starting to reshape how customers interact with e-commerce sites and financial institutions and will change how criminals execute fraud and other financial crimes,” BioCatch CEO Gadi Mazor said. “As digital interactions continue to grow faster, more automated, and increasingly driven by agents, we must move beyond static identity checks and toward a deeper and immediate understanding of behavior, intent, and trust.”
     
    Commissioned by BioCatch, which prevents fraud and financial crime by recognizing patterns in human behavior, the survey highlights how the global fraud challenge is manifesting across different markets — with India emerging as one of the most concerned and heavily impacted countries. The survey interviewed 100 fraud management, financial crime prevention, and risk and compliance leaders from Indian financial institutions. Ninety percent of Indian banking leaders surveyed say they’ve observed an increase in fraud attempts over the past year, significantly higher than the global average of 81%. Additionally, 84% reported rising fraud losses, compared to 76% globally. Both figures also represent a significant uptick from last year’s survey, in which 70% of those surveyed in India reported increasing fraud attempts and only 57% reported increasing fraud losses.
     
    All respondents were manager-level or above, 62% were director-level or above, and 31% identified as members of their bank’s C-suite. Nearly all (98%) work at institutions with more than $10 million under management, 64% say their bank holds more than $100 million in assets, 49% more than $1 billion, and 22% more than $10 billion.
     
    Indian banking leaders also appear particularly convinced that AI-powered fraud — both in the present and the future — represents a serious threat. Among the 25 countries surveyed in 2026, India emerged as the country most concerned about the accelerating speed of fraud.
     
    Rising fraud: 
    • 90% say fraud attempts at their institution are increasing (vs. 81% globally). In 2025, only 70% of Indian respondents reported increasing attempts. 
    • 84% say fraud losses at their institution are increasing (vs. 76% globally). Last year, only 57% of Indian respondents reported increasing fraud losses.
    • 95% are very concerned about an increase in the speed of fraudulent activity (vs. 76% globally). 
    • 48% say their institution loses more than $10 million to fraud every year, 32% more than $25 million, 16% more than $50 million, and 6% more than $100 million. 
    • 58% say their customers lose more than $5 million to authorized fraud/scams every year, 44% more than $10 million, 19% more than $25 million, 7% more than $50 million, and 2% more than $100 million.
      Interbank intelligence sharing:
    • 94% think interbank intelligence sharing could have a significant positive impact on their ability to stop fraud and financial crime (vs. 85% globally).
    • 93% believe gaining real-time intelligence on the receiving account involved in a transaction would have a significant impact on their ability to recognize and stop scams (vs. 86% globally).
    AI impact:
     
    • 93% believe AI has increased the sophistication of fraud and scam schemes (vs. 88% globally).
    • 83% believe AI agents could be the industry’s next largest exploitable vulnerability by fraudsters in the next year (vs. 84% globally).
    • 90% believe that it will be very challenging to distinguish between legitimate AI-assisted actions and malicious or manipulated activity (vs. 72% globally).  
    Other notable takeaways: 
    • A full two-thirds (66%) of Indian banking leaders cite scam attempts via instant payment platforms as the main driver of fraud in the country, compared to the 59% global average of respondents naming instant payments as the primary driver of increased fraud attempts in their geographies. India’s rapid UPI adoption is likely creating new attack opportunities for fraudsters.
    • 60% of Indian banks actively measure and report customer attrition from fraud, compared to just 47% globally. This signals a mature approach to understanding the business impact of fraud on its customer base.
    • 64% of Indian respondents say they’ve observed scammers employing deepfakes to improve social engineering and impersonation scams in the last year (vs. 50% globally)

    NOIDA, India and Sydney, Australia, June 25—HCLTech, a leading global technology company, has expanded its collaboration with Google Cloud and ServiceNow to deliver AI agents for enterprise adoption on the Gemini Enterprise platform. The launch coincides with HCLTech’s sponsorship of the Sydney Google Cloud Summit 2026.

    Building on HCLTech’s recently launched Gemini Enterprise business unit, the latest collaboration brings together advanced ServiceNow AI capabilities, enterprise workflow orchestration and industry expertise to enable organizations to deploy and scale AI in real business environments.

    HCLTech will introduce enterprise AI solutions on Gemini Enterprise that combine Gemini’s advanced AI capabilities with ServiceNow’s workflow platform – anchored in ServiceNow’s Blueprint for Agentic Business, a framework for structured, outcome-driven AI adoption. This includes a next-generation Factory Shop Floor Assistant, which delivers real-time operational intelligence to manufacturing environments, enabling faster decision-making and improved efficiency.

    Initial solutions span two high-impact domains: Field Services, where Gemini Live, integrated with ServiceNow Field Service Management, delivers real-time audio and visual intelligence to field technicians for faster issues resolution; and Customer Experience, to ensure customer intent is preserved across channels. HCLTech is also leveraging ServiceNow’s AI Control Tower to enhance visibility and governance of AI agents within Gemini Enterprise, while an ITOps ServiceNow Agent—available on Google Cloud Marketplace for Gemini Enterprise—supports incident management and remediation in enterprise IT environments.

    “Bringing agentic AI to the enterprise requires deep integration into the systems that businesses rely on every day,” said Satish Thomas, Vice President of Applied AI and Platform Ecosystem at Google Cloud. “Our partnership with HCLTech and ServiceNow combines the foundational power of Gemini Enterprise with industry-leading workflow and operational expertise, giving customers the tools they need to safely scale AI and accelerate innovation across their entire organization.”

    “The future of enterprise AI lies in orchestrating intelligent agents across the business as a connected system of action,” said Michael Park, Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships and Channels at ServiceNow. “By bringing together ServiceNow’s AI-native platform, HCLTech’s implementation expertise, and Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise capabilities, we are helping organizations build the foundation for an agentic enterprise. This collaboration enables customers to orchestrate AI agents across workflows, systems and teams, accelerating productivity, strengthening governance and delivering business outcomes at scale.”

    “Enterprises are moving quickly from exploring AI to embedding it at the core of their operations, and that shift requires stronger levels of integration and orchestration,” said Vijay Guntur, Chief Technology Officer and Head of Ecosystems at HCLTech. “Our collaboration with Google Cloud and ServiceNow reflects this evolution—integrating advanced AI, enterprise workflows and ecosystem scale to help clients move beyond pilots to sustained, enterprise-wide impact. By aligning AI with operational systems and industry context, we are enabling a more practical and accountable adoption of agentic AI, and our ServiceNow Agentic Blueprint gives enterprises the structured path to get there.”

    “Agentic AI will only deliver enterprise value when it is built on a resilient, secure and scalable digital foundation,” said Jagadeshwar Gattu, President, Digital Foundation Services at HCLTech. “By combining HCLTech’s deep infrastructure, cloud and operations expertise with Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise platform and ServiceNow’s workflow and AI capabilities, we are helping clients move from experimentation to production-ready adoption. This collaboration enables enterprises to embed intelligence into mission-critical environments with the governance, visibility and operational rigor needed to drive measurable outcomes at scale.”

    This expanded collaboration underscores HCLTech’s focus on enabling enterprises to transition from experimentation to scaled deployment of agentic AI, with solutions that are designed to deliver measurable impact across industries. HCLTech will showcase this focus at the Sydney Google Cloud Summit 2026, and at the Sydney ServiceNow World Forum where enterprise leaders will explore how cloud, AI and ecosystem collaboration can accelerate business transformation.

     

     

     

  • AI may replace certain jobs. AI will not replace capable human beings– V.V. Laxmi Narayana

    EThames Business School Transforms into Telangana’s First AI-Native Business School

    AI may replace certain jobs. AI will not replace capable human beings– V.V. Laxmi Narayana

     

     

    Hyderabad, June 24, 2026: EThames Business School (EBS), one of Hyderabad’s leading institutions for business education, today announced its transformation into Telangana’s first AI-Native Business School at a special event held at its campus.

    The transformation marks a significant shift in management education, with Artificial Intelligence being integrated into every aspect of teaching, learning, research, innovation, industry engagement, and student development.

    To mark the occasion, students and faculty presented a unique skit titled “AI Tools Speak, Humans Decide.” Characters representing leading AI platforms—ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, and Grok—competed to persuade students to choose/use them. As the students became increasingly confused by the competing claims, professors stepped in to deliver the central message: use AI responsibly, think critically, question intelligently, and never allow Artificial Intelligence to replace Human Intelligence.

    Students, faculty members, and institutional leaders also took separate pledges to use AI responsibly, ethically, and professionally. Certificates were presented to faculty and students who completed the institution’s AI-Native transformation programme. A commemorative AI-Native cake was also cut to celebrate the milestone.

    AI may replace certain jobs. AI will not replace capable human beings– V.V. Laxmi Narayana

     

    Addressing an audience of more than 200 students, faculty members, industry leaders, and ecosystem partners such as V.V. Laxmi Narayana, IPS (Retd), Chief Transformation Officer, EThames Business School; Dr. Raghavendra Hunasgi, Venture Investor / CEO String Metaverse; Murali Bukkapatnam, Former Chairman, Global Board of Trustees, TiE; Bipin Chandra Pendyala, President, HYSEA; Ajit Rangnekar, former Dean ISB and others, Kali Prasad Gadiraju, Chairman, EThames Business School, said that the institution’s AI transformation journey began over a year ago.

    “This is not merely the launch of a new initiative. It is our response to one of the most significant transformations in human history. For more than two centuries, educational institutions have prepared students for the world of work. Today, the world of work is changing faster than our educational institutions. If the world has changed so dramatically, how can education remain the same?” he asked.

    He said that just as computer literacy became essential in the 1990s, AI literacy and AI capability have become essential today.

    “Nobody asks students to perform complex calculations without a calculator. Calculators make us faster, more accurate, and more productive. Similarly, AI can help students learn faster, understand deeper, research better, and create more effectively. At EThames, we believe AI should not replace thinking—it should amplify thinking. AI should not replace learning—it should accelerate learning. That is why we have reimagined our classrooms, our faculty, and our learning environment to become AI-Native,” he said.

    Speaking on the occasion, V.V. Laxmi Narayana, IPS (Retd.), Chief Transformation Officer, EThames Business School, described AI as the next great chapter in humanity’s technological evolution.

    “The Wheel transformed transportation. The Printing Press transformed knowledge. Electricity transformed industry and everyday life. The Computer transformed productivity. The Internet transformed communication. Smartphones transformed access. And now Artificial Intelligence is transforming everything,” he said.

    Unlike earlier inventions that transformed specific aspects of life, AI is influencing every field simultaneously—from education, healthcare, business, and manufacturing to finance, media, governance, research, and creativity, he observed.

    AI may replace certain jobs. AI will not replace capable human beings– V.V. Laxmi Narayana

     

    Addressing concerns about job losses due to AI, he said such fears have accompanied every major technological revolution.

    “When railways arrived, people feared the end of traditional travel. When computers were introduced, many predicted widespread unemployment. When ATMs emerged, people said bank branches would disappear. None of those predictions came true. Technology changes jobs; it does not eliminate human potential. AI may replace certain jobs. AI will not replace capable human beings. The future belongs to those who are lifelong learners,” he said.

    Dr. Sandeep Kumar Shukla, Director, IIIT Hyderabad, who joined virtually as Guest of Honour, lauded EThames Business School’s pioneering initiative. “AI is no longer a technology of the future. It is a reality of the present. Educational institutions must equip students not only to use AI tools but also to think critically, innovate responsibly, and work effectively alongside AI,” he said.

    EThames can be a good laboratory for AI innovation—a place where the rigid boundaries of traditional pedagogy dissolve to make way for a fluid, intelligent ecosystem, said Dr. Raghavendra Hunasgi, Venture Investor / CEO String Metaverse

    Murali Bukkapatnam, Former Chairman, Global Board of Trustees, TiE, said: “A school is not its machines. A company is not its algorithms. A future is not artificial. It is—and always will be—its people. By building Telangana’s first AI-Native Business School, EThames is also building a more human future.”

    Bipin Chandra Pendyala, President, HYSEA, highlighted the distinction between AI students and AI-Native students. “AI students learn Artificial Intelligence as a subject. AI-Native students learn, think, collaborate, and innovate with AI as an integral part of their academic and professional journey. The future belongs to AI-Native talent,” he said.

    Dr. Mani Pavitra said India has the potential to become the world’s largest creator economy.

    “Having helped professionals create more than 100,000 reels, I have learned that the future belongs to those who create more than they consume. If our youth combine AI with character, execution, and innovation, they will not merely compete globally—they will build solutions for all eight billion people on Earth,” he said.

    The event was attended by students, faculty members, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and members of the broader innovation ecosystem.

  • India Set to Roll Out Services Production Index

    New Monthly Production Index to Enhance Tracking of India’s Services-Led Growth

    New Delhi: In a significant step towards strengthening economic data monitoring, the Government of India is set to launch a Monthly Production Index for the services sector in July, providing policymakers, businesses and investors with a more comprehensive view of the country’s economic performance.

    The new index is expected to bridge a key data gap by offering high-frequency insights into the services sector, which contributes more than half of India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and serves as a major driver of economic growth, employment and investment.

    Officials said the initiative is aimed at improving the measurement of economic activity by providing timely indicators on output trends across major service industries. The index will enable stakeholders to track growth patterns more accurately and assess the health of the economy on a monthly basis.

    The move comes at a time when India’s services sector continues to play a crucial role in supporting economic expansion, driven by strong performance in areas such as financial services, information technology, telecommunications, transport, hospitality and professional services.

    Experts believe the introduction of the monthly index will strengthen India’s statistical infrastructure and align economic reporting standards with leading global economies that already publish high-frequency services data.

    The index is also expected to assist policymakers in making quicker and more informed decisions by providing real-time insights into sectoral performance, demand conditions and emerging economic trends.

    Industry analysts have welcomed the initiative, noting that improved data availability can enhance transparency, support investment planning and provide greater clarity on the pace and direction of economic growth.

    The launch of the Monthly Production Index reflects the government’s continued efforts to modernise economic data systems and improve the quality of information available for policy formulation and business decision-making.

  • Tamil Nadu Gas Leak Tragedy: Odisha Woman Succumbs, Death Toll Rises to Eight

    Keonjhar/Chennai, June 24 (UDN): The death toll in the Tamil Nadu gas leak tragedy involving migrant workers from Odisha has risen to eight following the death of another critically injured woman worker from Keonjhar district on Wednesday.

    The deceased has been identified as Subasini Juang, a resident of Balisahi under Sunapentha village in Keonjhar district. She had been undergoing treatment in a critical condition after being exposed to toxic ammonia gas in the industrial accident.

    With her death, the number of victims from Keonjhar district alone has climbed to eight, underscoring the scale of the tragedy that has devastated several families in the region. Earlier, seven women workers from the district had died due to injuries sustained in the same incident.

    Meanwhile, the bodies of five deceased workers were brought back to their native villages in Keonjhar on Wednesday and handed over to grieving family members by district administration officials. The mortal remains were taken to Kodipasa, Talachampei, Rangamatia, and Tangiri villages, where emotional scenes unfolded as relatives and residents gathered to pay their final respects.

    “Four of the five women workers died in the tragic mishap. The condition of one is stable,” said a villager, as mourning engulfed the affected villages. Most of the bereaved families belong to economically weaker sections, prompting renewed demands for adequate compensation and long-term rehabilitation support.

    The incident occurred on Sunday at a seafood processing unit in Periyapalayam, Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu, when an ammonia gas leak triggered a major industrial accident. Several workers were exposed to the toxic gas, resulting in multiple deaths and leaving dozens hospitalized.

    In response to the tragedy, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has announced enhanced ex-gratia assistance of ₹10 lakh for the families of the deceased workers.

    Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the leak, while rescue and medical teams are monitoring the condition of those still under treatment.
