We believe these connections will play a key role in helping us build strong opportunities in Japan. The Japanese business ecosystem thrives on trust, and entering the market with a reliable partner like GHV makes the journey smoother — the trust factor is established from day one, enabling meaningful introductions and collaborations with Japanese enterprises.” — Deepesh Kuruppath, Founder, CargoFL

Surgical Automations Announces Closing of $3.4 Million Oversubscribed Seed Round

Surgical Automations Announces Closing of $3.4 Million Oversubscribed Seed Round

DALLAS, Nov. 04, 2025 — Surgical Automations, a stealth-mode surgical-robotics company leveraging AI and automation to transform gastrointestinal endoscopy, announced the closing of its $3.4 million oversubscribed seed round, completed earlier this year. The round was co-led by Dr. Fred Moll, founder of Intuitive Surgical ($ISRG), and TurboStart, a Bengaluru, India–based cross-border venture-capital firm.

“Surgical robotics is entering a new era where automation and intelligence are poised to transform clinical care,” said Dr. Fred Moll, co-lead investor. “Surgical Automations is pursuing one of the most important opportunities in endoscopy, combining bold innovation with the pragmatism needed to bring meaningful change to patient care.”

Surgical Automations is developing the Vāsuki Robotic System, a next-generation platform for upper and lower GI diagnostic and interventional procedures. Operating largely in stealth, the company has advanced breakthroughs in robotics, advanced sensing, and AI-driven automated navigation—technologies that automate critical steps of endoscopic procedures such as colonoscopy, providing unprecedented vision and control to the gastroenterologist. Its mission is to make GI screening safer, faster, and easier for endoscopists by simplifying procedures and elevating precision.

“Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths, yet the screening experience remains painful, inconsistent, and underserved by technology,” said Ganesh Raju, Founder of TurboStart. “We backed Surgical Automations because they’re re-imagining this from first principles with the right blend of AI, robotics, and regulatory clarity. This team’s deep domain insight aligns with our thesis of backing global deep-tech for human health.”

In addition to institutional investors, the round drew several physicians and individual members from community organizations including the Rajput Association of North America (RANA), the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Alumni Association of North Texas, and the Maharana Association of North America.

“Surgical Automations exemplifies the kind of global, deep-technology innovation that advances human health while being headquartered in North Texas,” said Dr. Srinivas ‘Benne’ Bette, Founder of the IIT Entrepreneur Advisor Network.

The company continues to operate in stealth as it advances the Vāsuki Robotic System toward pre-clinical validation and first-in-human studies.

About Surgical Automations

Surgical Automations (AutoSurg Inc.), headquartered in Dallas, TX is developing the Vāsuki Robotic System, a next-generation endoscopy platform integrating advanced sensors, robotics, and AI-driven automated navigation to automate complex steps in upper and lower GI endoscopy and improve global access to high-quality care.

Reviving a 75 year handloom legacy by KALANECA

Reviving a 75 year handloom legacy by KALANECA

Twin sisters Kavea & Ramya started KALANECA as two dreamers who fell in love with the art of handloom. Coming from Kakinada of Andhra Pradesh, they were passionate to bring the focus to a small coastal village in Andhra Pradesh called UPPADA, where handmade silk sarees told stories that have been woven for over 75 years. For years, that legacy quietly thrived, known only to a few connoisseurs.

In 2014, with one weaver and ten looms, they decided to bring those stories to the world. The small step became the beginning of Kalaneca – House of Handloom, born out of the belief that the grace of Uppada deserves a global stage.

What began as a passion project has today grown into a family of 135 weavers and 160 looms, yet the essence remains unchanged – every saree is handwoven, never mass-produced. Each piece carries with it the time, silk, and the soul of the artisans behind it. Through Kalaneca, they’ve taken Uppada’s art beyond India – to the USA, UAE, Australia, South Africa, and many more countries.

KALANECA gave birth to the concept of Lightweight Luxury. Keeping the grand designs of Indian heritage and the Uppada weaving, seamlessly integrated the beauty of the concept, making it one of the most comfortable yet desirable sarees.

Over the years, Kalaneca has found admirers among HNI clients, bureaucrats, and through leaders from across industries. Remarkable women such as Radhika Gupta, Lola Kutty, Seema Anand, Kirron Kher, and Shobita Dhulipala adorn Uppada silks.

Their signature innovation – The Queen’s Gambit Jamdani saree, took the tradition of Jamdani motifs of Uppada and gave them a modern reinterpretation, ensuring that the designs, techniques, and the looms themselves remain alive for generations to come.

Today, Uppada’s future looks brighter than ever. As Uppada’s name finds its place among the world’s most loved handlooms, it is Kalaneca that has played a meaningful part in that journey. The world is slowly falling in love with butter silks and the grace of light-weight luxury, and at the heart of that is Uppada, brought to life by Kalaneca. Because when something is handmade with heart, it doesn’t just stay local – it becomes eternal.

As the nation’s first AI-integrated internship ecosystem, Shadow Minds allows students to collaborate with real companies, work on actual client projects, and gain exposure to genuine corporate workflows across multiple industries.

Unlike conventional internship programs, Shadow Minds doesn’t simulate work — it is work. Every intern contributes to real client deliverables spanning domains such as healthcare, hospital management systems, construction project tracking, fintech automation, educational platforms, and AI-powered enterprise solutions. These projects are not academic exercises — they are live deployments powering businesses across India.

Internships Reimagined: Corporate Projects, Not Classrooms

Each intern at Shadow Minds is part of a 3–5 member agile team, led by a senior developer or industry mentor. Together, they collaborate on client deliverables that are planned, tracked, and reviewed just like in real corporate setups.

Interns use industry-grade tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT-5, TensorFlow, AWS, Azure, and modern analytics platforms to deliver production-ready systems. Through this model, students gain a strong foundation in teamwork, client communication, and deadline-driven delivery — skills no classroom can teach.

  • Flexible models: Work from the corporate office, hybrid, or remote setups — depending on comfort and availability.
  • Performance-based rewards: Top performers receive stipends, extensions, or client-sponsored project roles.

“At Shadow Minds, we believe the best learning happens when students work on real products that impact users, not just practice modules,” said a company spokesperson. “Our interns are not trainees — they’re contributors to business outcomes.”

A Growing Network of AI-Driven Industry Collaborations

Shadow Minds currently powers over 100+ live projects across industries. From AI-enabled hospital information systems to construction site analytics dashboards, e-learning platforms, business automation suites, and data-driven marketing tools, interns are involved in every stage — design, development, deployment, and maintenance.

This unique model doesn’t just teach skills — it creates real-world impact. Over 1,000 contributors have participated in 174+ projects, working alongside professionals and clients in India and abroad. Many projects under Shadow Minds have directly evolved into funded startup ideas or long-term corporate partnerships.

Through its tech-driven workspace and mentorship ecosystem, Shadow Minds has built a sustainable bridge between academia and industry, helping companies access skilled, project-ready talent — while giving students the exposure they need to thrive in a corporate environment.

An Ecosystem of Growth, Recognition, and Real Outcomes

Every participant receives:

  • Client-verified certificates reflecting actual project contributions.
  • Experience letters and LORs co-issued with corporate partners.
  • Revenue-based project extensions for high performers.
  • Access to AI & data innovation labs to explore research-driven solutions.

Malaysia Digital–Status Startup Buzzapp Technologies Launches aKadmy, an AI Platform for Early Learning

Malaysia Digital–Status company brings intelligent personalization and automation to preschools, backed by Beanstalkedu’s research-driven pedagogy.

Kuala Lumpur / Kolkata, 28/10/2025: Buzzapp Technologies Sdn Bhd, a Malaysia Digital–status company, today announced the launch of aKadmy, an AI-powered childcare and preschool management platform that helps teachers personalize learning, streamline classroom operations, and engage parents through real-time insights.

Built in Malaysia and recognized under Malaysia Digital (MD) Status, aKadmy applies machine learning, reinforcement learning, and semantic modeling to reduce teachers’ administrative workload by up to 40%, automating attendance, evaluations, progress reports, and individualized learning plans.

The platform builds on the deep pedagogical expertise of Beanstalkedu, a leading early childhood education group from India with over a decade of experience working with 100+ preschools and training institutions across India and Southeast Asia.

“AI in education shouldn’t feel futuristic — it should feel useful,” said Ankana Banerjea, Co-Founder and Chief Academic Officer of Beanstalkedu. “aKadmy makes personalization practical and immediate, giving educators the tools to focus on the child, not the paperwork.”

  • Auto-generated progress reports with AI-recommended action plans
  • Custom lesson and quiz generation aligned with developmental milestones

By automating these tasks, schools can save valuable teacher time while improving consistency and visibility across classrooms.

Personalized Learning for Children

At the heart of aKadmy is its Conversational Buddy, an AI companion that interacts with children aged 3–6 through guided play and dialogue. The Buddy maps each child’s interests and learning pace, enabling personalized lesson paths that foster curiosity and cognitive growth.

Gamified missions reward children with stars and badges, while teachers receive real-time analytics to monitor engagement and progress.

Value for Schools and Parents

For schools, aKadmy provides a scalable SaaS solution that centralizes reporting, analytics, and branch-level management. For parents, it offers instant updates, photos, and digital progress dashboards — strengthening home–school communication and transparency.

“Switching to aKadmy was like upgrading our school’s operating system overnight,” said Michelle Kim, Owner of Little Sprouts Preschool, Alberta, Canada. “Our teachers save hours every day, and parents love the instant updates. It’s transformed how we teach, communicate, and grow.”

About aKadmy

Newmark Hired Sathish Rajendren to Lead Growth in APAC Region Property and Facilities Management; Announces Expansion into India

Newmark Hired Sathish Rajendren to Lead Growth in APAC Region Property and Facilities Management; Announces Expansion into India

NEW YORK, NY / BANGALORE, INDIA, 28 October — Newmark Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMRK) (“Newmark” or “the Company”), a leading commercial real estate advisor and service provider to large institutional investors, global corporations, and other owners and occupiers, announces it has expanded its Property and Facilities Management businesses into India, hiring Sathish Rajendren, FRICS, SLCR, MCR, as Executive Managing Director to head the operations across India and APAC. Based in Bangalore, Sathish will be responsible for ensuring consistent, best-in-class Property and Facilities Management solutions for owners and occupiers in the region.

“Newmark continues to evolve to meet clients’ needs across every region and stage of the asset lifecycle,” said Luis Alvarado, Chief Operating Officer. “Our growth in India exemplifies our continued delivery of holistic, end-to-end solutions that create long-term value for investors and occupiers alike, while advancing our strategy to grow recurring Management Services and Servicing revenue globally.”

Richard Holden, President of Property and Facilities Management, added, “This marks a very meaningful step in the continued expansion of Newmark’s Property and Facilities Management business. India’s scale, growth trajectory and sophistication make it an essential market in our global strategy, and we are committed to being a frontrunner in these markets. Sathish’s extensive experience and vision across global and APAC markets reinforces our mission to deliver best-in-class management services.”

A seasoned leader with over 22 years of experience, Sathish brings an impressive track record of transforming organizations and driving growth across diverse sectors, including occupiers, developers, investors and government entities. In his prior role at Knight Frank, where he served as Senior Executive Director, he was instrumental in scaling operations tenfold and elevating the firm’s market position, overseeing a portfolio exceeding 350 million square feet across India. Earlier in his career, he managed an additional 140 million square feet while leading property services at Cushman & Wakefield.

A distinguished alumnus of the Institut Européen d’Administration des Affaires (INSEAD) and the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, Sathish is recognized as a thought leader in property and facilities management. He was recently inducted into the 2025 CoreNet Global Distinguished Leaders Circle, a prestigious honor that will be celebrated at the upcoming CoreNet Global Summit in Anaheim, California.

“India represents one of the fastest-growing commercial real estate markets in the world, fueled by urbanization, foreign investment and an expanding corporate occupier base,” said Sathish. “Newmark’s global resources, advanced technology and client-first approach position us to redefine the management landscape in India. We see tremendous opportunity to deliver greater efficiency, sustainability and value for clients as the market continues to evolve.”

According to government data and industry estimates, office absorption approached 60 million square feet through the first nine months of 2025, driven by technology, financial services and global capability centers [1]. The country’s ongoing infrastructure build-out, coupled with increasing demand for institutional-grade management services, creates a strong foundation for Newmark’s entry. Establishing a property management hub in India will also enable closer collaboration with multinational occupiers and investors active across APAC and globally.

Newmark has recently unified its Property Management and Facilities Management service lines to deliver enhanced end-to-end solutions for owners and occupiers globally. As part of its Management Services businesses, Property Management and Facilities Management form a core vertical within Newmark’s global operations.
