  • Azra and RevealDx Announce Partnership

    Seattle, WA – May 15, 2026 – Azra AI, the leading end-to-end enterprise platform for incidental findings and oncology workflow automation, and RevealDx, the leader in AI tools for the characterization of lung nodules, today announced a new partnership.  

    This partnership builds upon Azra AI’s recent acquisition of Thynk health, which provides cancer screening and incidental findings management. Customers can now use one integrated solution to identify high-risk nodules, manage  these nodules through diagnosis, and seamlessly connect to oncology workflow automation.  

    Recently cleared by the FDA, the RevealDx technology, marketed as RevealAI-Lung, characterizes incidental lung nodules  by producing a score called the Malignancy Similarity Index (mSI™). mSI is intended to help radiologists make more informed follow-up recommendations to assist in cancer diagnosis. The company has validated the software on over  1,500 patients from a variety of cohorts, and RevealAI-Lung is now reimbursable by Medicare using codes 0721T and  0722T. 

    “This partnership strengthens our enterprise-wide intelligence platform,” said John Marshall, CEO of Azra AI. “The integration of the mSI score into the clinical workflow empowers providers to diagnose patients earlier while increasing clinical efficiency. We are excited to deliver this new technology to our customers because not only are we detecting  lung cancer earlier with RevealDX, but once identified Azra’s oncology platform will then coordinate the patient’s care all  the way through survivorship.”

    “When vendors partner, patients and providers can benefit, and that is certainly the case here,” said Chris Wood, CEO  of RevealDx. “We are proud of the fact that Azra AI chose to integrate mSI into their clinical workflows, and introduce  RevealAI-Lung to their installed base. Just producing a malignancy risk score is not sufficient. It needs to be integrated  into platforms built for the full continuum, which is exactly what Azra AI provides.”

  • Schbang wins Digital at Cairns Hatchlings 2026, putting India on the Asia-Pacific creative map

    Priyanka Gohil and Aman Aragonda responded to a UN OCHA brief in 24 hours, pitching a digital campaign to mobilise USD $23 billion and save 87 million lives across Asia-Pacific

    Schbang has clinched the Digital category win at Cairns Hatchlings 2026, the Asia-Pacific creative competition held at the Cairns Convention Centre in Australia, marking a significant moment for Indian creative talent on the international stage.

    Cairns Hatchlings is one of the most pressure-tested creative competitions in the region. Finalists receive a brief and have exactly 24 hours to go from ideation to execution to live presentation. This year’s brief was driven by OCHA and supported by the UN Foundation, challenging teams to develop a culturally resonant idea to motivate the private sector and the public across Asia-Pacific to collectively raise USD $23 billion and save 87 million lives in 2026, built around the campaign platform Reunite for Humanity.

    Schbang wins Digital at Cairns Hatchlings 2026, putting India on the Asia-Pacific creative map

     

    Schbang’s Digital category entry, led by Priyanka Gohil and Aman Aragonda, zeroed in on a tension at the heart of the brief: in a world where digital connectivity is widening the gap between people, how do you use that same world to bring them together for a cause? Their answer was AI. Observing that AI platforms are today used universally, from wealthy individuals to large private sector organisations, the duo proposed using AI as the connective layer between those who have the means to give and the 87 million people who are offline and in critical need. The platform would channel funds directly to the UN’s humanitarian efforts, while ensuring donors could see the real-world impact of their contribution.

    The judges called it “a seriously impressive piece of strategic reframing and problem solving, unique and fresh.”

    Priyanka Gohil said, “The brief was about solidarity, but the digital world is doing the opposite. It’s pulling people further apart. We wanted to flip that. What made this harder was that I am a product designer and Aman is a graphic designer – neither of us works on campaigns day to day. This was completely out of our comfort zone. But we used every insight we had from our industry, stayed up through the entire 24 hours, and trusted the strategy we had built.”

    Aman Aragonda added, “We did not sleep for a single minute. The moment the 24 hours ended, we were straight into our presentation. But the exhaustion didn’t matter because we had built something we believed in. We started from a very difficult reality, designed the entire flow of our presentation to be strategic from start to finish, and even asked the judges for feedback at the end. That kind of conviction, I think, is what carried us through.” 

    Dipshika Ravi, National Creative Director at Schbang, said, “Winning is one thing. But what makes this special is the idea Priyanka and Aman brought to the table. Using AI not as a tool for the privileged, but as a bridge to those who have nothing. That kind of thinking, done in 24 hours, on a brief of this magnitude, is what Schbang is built on. I could not be more proud of them and of what this team represents. “

    Schbang placed two teams in the Cairns Hatchlings 2026 finals, with Priyanka and Aman in Digital and Beverly Coutinho and Sneiden D’souza in Publishing. It is a marker of how far Indian creative talent has come, and a sign of where it is headed.

  • Why are Remote Professionals Choosing Goa?

    By Shri. Kabir Shirgaonkar, Director, Department of Information Technology, Electronics and Communications, Government of Goa

    We’re constantly looking for ways to upgrade our lifestyle and work is often where that shift begins. But it’s not just about what we do, it’s also about where we do it. Imagine living in a busy metro, leaving home two hours early only to sit in endless traffic. Now replace the honking with the sound of waves and rushed evenings with slow sunsets and a mocktail in hand. It’s an easy choice. And that’s exactly why more professionals today are moving away from the constant metro burnout in search of a better work-life balance.

    Flexibility has been on the rise, not just in the availability of hybrid roles, but with many professionals actively seeking the freedom that comes with remote work. As of early 2026, globally, there are over 40 million digital nomads and this number is projected to grow significantly in the coming years. As more people choose location-independent careers, Goa has steadily evolved to support this shift.

    Why are Remote Professionals Choosing Goa?

     

    Today, Goa is increasingly being seen not just as a travel destination, but as a growing hub for creators, entrepreneurs, startups and remote-first professionals looking to live and work differently. Goa offers a seamless blend of island vibes and urban connectivity, supported by widespread high-speed fibre networks and robust 5G coverage, making it one of India’s most attractive destinations for remote work in a relaxed yet well-connected environment. Alongside this strong digital backbone, the state has developed more than 15 co-working/incubation spaces, creating a supportive ecosystem for professionals, entrepreneurs and startups.

    Policy support from the Government, along with single-window clearances and active incubation initiatives, is further enabling ease of doing business and fostering innovation and growth across the state. Goa’s strategic connectivity further adds to its appeal. With two airports, the Goa Dabolim International Airport and Manohar International Airport (MOPA), along with the Mormugao Port and an expanding road network, the state remains well connected to major cities including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune. What truly sets Goa apart, however, is its unique blend of natural beauty and lifestyle.

    The combination of beaches, a slower pace of life and a thriving culture offers a refreshing contrast to city living. Add to that cleaner air, reduced traffic and easy access to wellness, from yoga retreats to fitness facilities, and the appeal becomes even stronger. At the same time, a steady community of freelancers, startup founders and digital nomads is growing. Regular events and creative collaborations are further making it easier for like-minded individuals to network and grow.

    Building on this momentum, the Department of Information Technology, Electronics and Communications (DITE&C) is hosting ‘Goa Shackathon’ on May 21-22, 2026, a unique concept that blends a hackathon with Goa’s iconic beach shacks. This two-day, first-of-its-kind event features breakout sessions, experiential activities and an immersive workation experience.

    To further strengthen Goa’s remote-work ecosystem, the Government has also announced plans to establish co-working spaces in coastal areas as part of the 2026-27 State Budget. With growing infrastructure, a thriving creative community and increasing support for remote-work, Goa is redefining what work-life balance can look like. For many professionals today, Goa is not just a getaway, it’s a lifestyle choice.
