  • Luxury off-plan homes bring AED5 billion May sales

    Luxury off-plan homes bring AED5 billion May sales

     

    Keturah founder says Dubai shows its global standing with apartment, villa deals above AED 5 million

     

    Dubai, UAE, June 12: Dubai’s luxury real estate market continued to attract strong investment in May, with developers recording almost AED5 billion in off-plan sales for homes priced above AED5 million.

    A market analysis from the Keturah luxury brand today shows villa buyers accounted for AED2.51 billion across 184 transactions, while apartment sales reached AED2.45 billion from 207 deals.

    The strongest villa activity came in the AED10-20 million bracket, where 60 transactions generated AED834.2 million in developer off-plan sales, with a further 23 deals worth AED746.3 million recorded in the AED20-50 million range.

    Data from DXBinteract shows that apartment sales were concentrated in the AED5-10 million bracket, which accounted for 158 of the 207 transactions recorded during the month.

    With a total of 391 apartment and villa sales amounting to AED4.96 billion, it means an average of 12 off-plan homes each worth more than AED5 million were sold every day of the month, at an average of AED12.7 million per property.

    Luxury off-plan homes bring AED5 billion May sales

     

    “This is the equivalent of almost 400 homes each worth more than £1 million in London, and $1.36 million in New York, being sold in a single month,” said Talal M. Al Gaddah, CEO and Founder of the Keturah luxury brand.

    “It says a great deal about Dubai’s standing among the world’s leading real estate markets, and about the depth of confidence that continues to exist here.”

    Added Al Gaddah: “This market has proven over many years that its resilience is structural rather than cyclical. When conditions become more challenging, that foundation holds, and serious capital continues to move.

    “At the same time, the definition of luxury in real estate is evolving, as global investors focus more on wellness, liveability, environmental quality, privacy, and long-term residency potential.”

    Keturah currently has two major residential developments under way in Dubai that sit directly within this market segment. Keturah Reserve is an AED5.7 billion bio-living community in Mohammed Bin Rashid City’s District 7. The Ritz-Carlton Residences at Keturah Resort is a wellness-certified waterfront community along Dubai Creek adjacent to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.

    “Both projects were conceived with exactly this shift in mind,” said Al Gaddah. “Buyers are now asking more of the developments they choose. They want to know how a home will actually serve them day to day, how it is built, what surrounds it, and whether it will hold its value over time.

    “Developers who answer these questions honestly will earn long-term trust, and Dubai will attract long-term capital because the fundamentals are genuinely strong. The regulatory environment is transparent, the infrastructure is world-class, and the city is planned with genuine foresight.”

     

  • Saudi Pro League Golden Boot winner Julian Quinones ready to shine as Mexico open 2026 FIFA World Cup

    RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 12: When the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off at Mexico’s iconic Mexico City Stadium this evening, among the stars taking to the pitch will be a player recognised by Roshn Saudi League (RSL) fans as the finest of the 2025-26 season.

    Saudi Pro League Golden Boot winner Julian Quinones ready to shine as Mexico open 2026 FIFA World Cup.

    Julián Quiñones, the Mexico international and Al Qadsiah forward, concluded a sensational 2025-26 RSL campaign as the division’s top scorer with 33 goals, being named Fans’ Player of the Season as well as clinching the Golden Boot. He outpaced two-time consecutive Golden Boot winner Cristiano Ronaldo and Ivan Toney in a race that went to the final whistle of the final matchday. It was, fittingly, a hat-trick that sealed it, his fourth of a remarkable season.

    Now, on football’s grandest stage and in front of an expected capacity 81,000 fans at the Mexico City Stadium, and millions more watching worldwide, co-hosts Mexico will look to the prolific forward to translate that lethal form into a World Cup campaign that begins against South Africa in Group A this evening.

    “It’s a result of so many years fighting to be in the big leagues,” Quinones said in an interview with the Saudi Pro League website when discussing his Golden Boot achievement. “I have shown it day by day. I dedicate this to all the people who never doubted me. To all my coaches who supported me, to my family, to all those people who have always been there in the worst moments of my career.”

    The numbers behind his 2025-26 season are staggering. Quinones averaged a goal every 83 minutes and converted once for every 1.8 shots on target. He also registered a league-high 14 Man of the Match awards and was voted Fans’ Player of the Season by RSL supporters. Beyond the personal statistics, the 29-year-old also created 10 big chances for teammates, underlining a selflessness that belied his elite individual output.

    That combination of quality, commitment and team-first mentality has earned the admiration of Al Qadsiah manager Brendan Rodgers, the former Liverpool and Celtic coach who played a significant role in elevating Quiñones’ game this season.

    “We were able to help Julián be the top goalscorer, and he knows more than anyone that he could not do that without his teammates,” Rodgers said. “It’s an incredible achievement considering he hardly takes any penalties, but also what else he gives the team, in terms of pressing, commitment, running.”

    Such was the confidence his club placed in him that Al Qadsiah moved swiftly to secure his future, with Quiñones signing a new contract, through to 2029, before departing for international duty.

    The Roshn Saudi League arrives at this World Cup as the most represented league outside football’s traditional ‘Big Five’, a testament to the competition’s growing stature on the global stage. And in Quiñones, the league has a player ready to announce himself to the world in the most high-profile setting the sport can offer.

    “Representing my country is the most important thing,” Quiñones said in an earlier interview. “That’s why I work hard every single day. I give everything in training to make that happen.”

    Disha Publication Launches Errorless 202 PYQ Series With Self-Grading Revision System for JEE 2027

     

    New Delhi, June 12:Disha Publication , a leading name in India’s educational publishing space, has launched the Errorless 202 New Syllabus Chapter-wise & Topic-wise 25 Years JEE Main PYQ Series (2026–2002) for JEE 2027 aspirants to help students move beyond conventional question-solving and adopt a more structured preparation approach.

    As competition intensifies and preparation strategies become increasingly data-driven, Previous Year Questions (PYQs) continue to play a central role in helping students understand exam patterns and question trends. However, most PYQ resources stop at practice. The Errorless 202 Series seeks to go a step further by integrating practice, revision, and testing within a single framework, enabling students to use PYQs as a more structured preparation tool.

    Commenting on the launch, Avinash Agarwal, Director, Disha Publication, said, “For more than two decades, we have observed how students prepare for competitive examinations and how their preparation evolves as the exam approaches. While PYQs remain one of the most effective preparation resources, many students use them only for practice. They often lack a structured way to revisit mistakes, identify weak areas, and measure progress over time. The Errorless 202 Series was created to address this gap by bringing together practice, revision, and testing within a single framework, helping students prepare in a more organised and purposeful manner.“

    The series follows a three-step Practice-Revision-Testing (PRT) framework. Students can work through 25 years of JEE Main questions arranged chapter-wise and topic-wise, supported by detailed solutions and separate sections for MCQs and Numerical Value Questions. A key differentiator is the Self-Grading Sticker System, which allows students to mark questions that require revision or those they find particularly challenging, creating a personalised revision repository as preparation progresses.

    The series also includes three-level mini quizzes for self-assessment, NCERT Page Locators for quick concept revision, and last five years’ trend analysis to help students identify important topics. Aligned with the latest JEE syllabus, the series is designed to support students throughout their preparation journey rather than only during the practice phase.

    The Errorless 202 New Syllabus Chapter-wise & Topic-wise 25 Years JEE Main PYQ Series is available on Amazon and Flipkart. Students can also purchase the series through the official Disha Publications website, where launch offers are available, including complimentary Physics Flashcards featuring 55 high-impact revision cards for Classes 11 and 12, designed around active recall techniques.

  • Airrived Named Gartner Tech Innovator for the Second Time, Recognized in AI Agent Management Platforms

    Gartner spotlights Airrived’s Agentic OS as critical infrastructure for enterprises deploying, scaling and managing custom AI agents

     

    DUBLIN, Calif.- Airrived, the company behind the Agentic OS, today announced it has been named a Gartner Tech Innovator in the “Emerging Tech: Tech Innovators in AI Agent Management Platforms” report (May 27, 2026). This marks Airrived’s second Gartner Tech Innovator recognition, following its prior inclusion in the “Emerging Tech: Tech Innovators in Agentic AI” report (September 16, 2025).

    Airrived was recognized 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.

    According to the report, “Airrived’s primary innovation is unique in impact and feasibility, as it serves as a comprehensive ‘Agentic Operating System’ that allows organizations to either use prebuilt agentic applications or create their own. The platform is structured across three foundational layers: an ‘Apps’ layer for ready-to-use solutions, an ‘Agents’ layer functioning as modular ‘Lego blocks’ to connect AI with enterprise data, and an ‘AI Tools’ layer to build custom agents from scratch. Its enabling technology relies on a diverse mix of agents, including reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) agents, classical ML clustering agents, and deep reasoning agent meshes to process and analyze data. Airrived differentiates itself heavily through its strict cybersecurity pedigree, advanced data sovereignty, and customer intellectual property (IP) guarantees.”

    “Our vision is simple: democratize AI so that every business user can become an AI expert,” said Anurag Gurtu, Co-Founder and CEO of Airrived. “Historically, building AI applications required data scientists, machine learning engineers, and significant technical expertise. We believe that should no longer be a requirement, and that shift is what Gartner recognized with our Tech Innovator designation in AI Agent Management Platforms.”

    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.

     

  • Serving AI Solutions on Tap: LaunchLemonade Prepares AI Marketplace Launch

    Serving AI Solutions on Tap: LaunchLemonade Prepares AI Marketplace Launch

    LaunchLemonade, the no-code AI platform enabling creators to build and monetise AI agents, has begun beta-testing their marketplace feature, allowing users to buy and sell ready-to-go agentic AI workflows.

    LaunchLemonade is continuing to develop its platform in its mission to democratise access to advanced AI tools. With the introduction of the LaunchLemonade store, the platform is aiming to solidify its capabilities in allowing users to buy, sell and deploy ready-to-use intelligent AI solutions, transforming how individuals and businesses access automation and intelligent digital services.

    Following a successful oversubscribed pre-seed investment round and a $300,000 grant from Google, LaunchLemonade is accelerating development of its platform, with the marketplace positioned as a core component of its long-term vision. The company plans to roll out an initial version of the marketplace by late summer, with in-house products being made available to buy. Broader capabilities are expected later in the autumn, where users can publish their own agents for sale. This phased rollout will enable iterative improvements based on user feedback while expanding the platform’s capabilities at pace.

    Founded in 2024, LaunchLemonade was created by CEO and Founder, Cien Solon, to simplify the process of building, deploying and monetising intelligent AI solutions that automate workflows, generate content and make smarter decisions. Unifying over 300 AI models, LaunchLemonade’s interface formulates specialised agents that complete tasks from content creation to report analysis and research. These agents can be trained from users’ unique data, allowing for highly personalised and context-aware outputs without requiring technical expertise.

    With the introduction of the LaunchLemonade store, users will gain access to ready-to-go agentic AI workflows designed for a wide range of use cases, from marketing and operations to finance and research. Each agent listing includes descriptions, capabilities, pricing and user reviews, offering a consumer-friendly experience while delivering significantly more powerful, outcome-driven functionality. Rather than simply installing software, users will be able to deploy goal-orientated AI agents that can actively complete tasks and integrate into existing workflows. 

    The marketplace will also create new opportunities for developers and creators to monetise their work. By publishing their AI agents on the platform, developers can generate revenue through subscription or usage-based models, while benefiting from LaunchLemonade’s infrastructure, distribution and user base. For businesses and end users, the marketplace removes the need to build AI solutions from scratch, significantly lowering the barrier to adopting automation and enabling faster, more cost-effective implementation. 

    As the wider platform evolves, LaunchLemonade plans to introduce deeper interoperability between agents, allowing users to chain multiple workflows together into more complex automated systems. This vision positions the marketplace not just as a distribution channel, but as an ecosystem of intelligent, collaborative AI agents capable of handling end-to-end processes.

    CEO and Founder Cien Solon said: “The launch of our AI marketplace represents a major milestone in making advanced AI even more accessible and usable for everyone. We’re proud to be building an ecosystem where innovation can scale rapidly and where even smaller businesses can access powerful AI capabilities without technical barriers.”

    With its initial marketplace launch set for late summer and further capabilities planned later in the autumn, LaunchLemonade is positioning itself at the forefront of the emerging AI agent economy, aiming to redefine how AI solutions are built, shared and deployed at scale. 

    Cien concludes by saying: “Big players have dominated the AI economy, which has incidentally held back innovative AI applications from smaller businesses. With our marketplace, we are democratising the AI economy for smaller players, diversifying the talent and solutions on offer, championing those who are solving unique challenges, breaking innovation bottlenecks, and closing the AI literacy gap in businesses.”

    GREENBELT, Md. — Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) announced the graduation of seven physicians from its accredited Venous & Lymphatic Medicine Fellowship Program for the 2025–2026 academic year, marking another milestone in the organization’s effort to expand access to specialized vein care across the United States.

    The graduating fellows are:

    • Dr. Rohit Martha
    • Dr. Rami Ali
    • Dr. Caroly Guillen Aguirre
    • Dr. Madeleine Pfleger
    • Dr. Mohamed Riazuddin
    • Dr. Darius Rutazaana
    • Dr. Sun Yoo

    “The need for highly trained venous and lymphatic medicine specialists continues to grow, and our fellowship program plays an important role in developing the next generation of leaders in the field,” said Dr. Peter J. Pappas, the program director of CVR’s Venous and Lymphatic Medicine Fellowship. “We are proud of this year’s graduating class and the commitment they have shown to advancing patient care.”

    CVR’s 12-month fellowship provides advanced clinical and procedural training in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic venous and lymphatic disorders. Accredited by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine (ABVLM), the program equips board-certified physicians from a variety of medical specialties with the expertise needed to address a growing patient population affected by vein disease.

    Since welcoming its first fellow in 2017, CVR has steadily expanded the program in response to increasing demand for specialized vein treatment. What began as a single-fellow program has grown to nine fellowship positions, with an additional eight physicians scheduled to begin training in July 2026. 

    Throughout the fellowship, physicians complete intensive rotations focused on venous ultrasound, ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, endovenous ablation procedures, ambulatory phlebectomy and other advanced treatment techniques. Fellows gain extensive hands-on experience while working alongside experienced vein specialists in clinical settings across the country.

    The newly graduated physicians join a growing network of fellowship alumni who are helping increase patient access to specialized venous and lymphatic care at CVR and nationwide.

    Applications are currently being accepted for future fellowship classes.
