RISE Infraventures, one of the leading real estate advisory firms, has announced its strategic venture into the leasing verticals, marking a significant expansion of its service portfolio. With this move, the firm will focus on commercial real estate development & leasing across Grade offices, retail spaces, high streets, malls, warehouses, and flex workspaces.

Team RISE Infraventures – Driving innovation and excellence in real estate advisory​

The company has set an ambitious target of transacting a million sq. ft. of space in the next 12-18 months, with an expected Gross Transaction Value (GTV) exceeding Rs. 1,000 crore. RISE will also channel investments from UHNIs and family offices into pre-leased and income-generating assets, ensuring clients secure not just ownership but sustainable rental yields. Earlier, the firm achieved a significant milestone by recording Rs. 3,800 Cr in gross sales during the financial year 2024-25, with a consistent performance in commercial real estate.

RISE’s leasing operations will have a pan-India footprint, with a strong focus on Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities beyond metros. With retail consumption surging in smaller cities, the firm sees significant growth in high streets and malls, particularly in Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar, and Eastern UP. The company anticipates adding 25-30% new clients within 12-18 months, driven by strong interest from GCC occupiers and retail brands that are already in discussions.

To steer this expansion, RISE has onboarded a strong leadership team of industry professionals. Bhupindra Singh, COO, will drive nationwide expansion and operational excellence; Ajay Malik, Chief Strategy Officer, will lead strategic growth and investor mandates; Sonakshi Wadhawan, CBO – Office Transactions, will head office leasing across India with a sharp focus on GCC clients; and Manish Srivastava, Head – Retail, will spearhead retail leasing across metros and Tier-1 & 2 cities, building brand traction in high streets and malls across India.

Sachin Gawri, Founder and CEO, RISE Infraventures, said, “This is a proud milestone for us. The induction of industry experts like Bhupindra, Ajay, Sonakshi & Manish marks a pivotal step in our journey. With their expertise, we are not just entering the leasing space – we are setting a strong foundation to become a leader in it. Their comprehensive skills complement our vision of building a 360-degree real estate advisory platform, and together we are confident of delivering unparalleled value to our clients.”

Shantanu Gambhir, Co-founder and Managing Director, RISE Infraventures, added, “At RISE, we have always believed that the right team & is the biggest differentiator in our industry. With this leadership in place, we are confident of expanding our presence across leasing and beyond.”

Bhupindra Singh, COO, RISE Infraventures, said, “My focus will be on scaling RISE’s Development partnerships & leasing operations across geographies while ensuring seamless delivery for our clients & investors.”

Ajay Malik, CSO, RISE Infraventures, said, “At RISE, my mandate is to drive strategic growth by leveraging our investor network and expanding our national footprint. The priority is to structure transactions that deliver sustainable returns while aligning the long-term interests of both occupiers and landlords.”

Sonakshi Wadhawan, CBO, RISE Infraventures said, “This is an opportunity to establish a robust, transparent leasing practice built on trust, fairness, and long-term value creation, as we expand nationally. Our relationships with Occupiers & Developers will go a long way in making our business successful.”

Manish Srivastava, Head Retail, RISE Infraventures said, “Our teams comprise specialists in each of the regions and are well experienced. Brands are also excited to support our journey for their expansions across the length and breadth of the country.”

RISE Infraventures sets itself apart from global IPCs by combining international-standard practices with a sharper local understanding of the Indian market. Post-COVID, as occupiers demand more specialized advisors, RISE’s domain expertise, local relationships, and technology-driven insights provide a clear advantage in creating sustainable, long-term value.

The company will also enter asset management, with its first Development project expected to be announced in Gurugram shortly. With this forward-looking approach, RISE is well-positioned to accelerate its growth trajectory in India’s high-end real estate sector.

Truecaller Transforms Caller ID with AI: Know Why They’re Calling, Not Just Their Name

With a global community of over 450 million active users, Truecaller has become more than just a caller ID service; its a trusted guide in helping people understand not only who is reaching out, but the intent behind every call.

https://www.newsvoir.com/images/article/image1/33045_Image_truecaller_.png

Truecaller Transforms Caller ID with AI:Know Why They’re Calling, Not Just Their Name

Truecaller has now started providing deeper contextual insights using AI on incoming calls received by its users, going way beyond showing just the caller’s name. This includes AI summaries of user comments as well. From flagging potential fraud and identifying likely spam to suggesting relevant business categories, this information is delivered instantly, powered by advanced AI classification models and continuously enriched by millions of daily reports from its highly engaged user community.

This real-time intelligence not only enhances user trust and safety but also reinforces Truecaller’s leadership in the next generation of caller identification technology. While the company also offers a Verified Business badge for official brand identities, the majority of contextual insights shown to users are generated dynamically by AI – requiring no manual labeling or business registration.

While basic caller ID services provided by telecom operators have traditionally offered little more than a name (when available) and sometimes a simple spam tag, Truecaller, on the other hand, leverages AI and real-time insights, making it a far more intelligent layer of protection.

People hesitate to answer unknown calls because they lack context and in today’s world, context is everything,” said Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Global CEO of Truecaller. “Truecaller was built to solve this: not just to identify who’s calling, but to help you understand why. Is it someone from your network, a delivery, a business or a scam Our AI uses real-time data and contextual signals to give you clarity the moment your phone rings, turning uncertainty into informed choice. Knowing ‘who’ is calling is only part of the story.”

AI That Adds Context to Every Call
Truecaller’s Caller ID is powered by a dynamic, AI-driven engine that interprets billions of signals from calls, messages, and user feedback across the globe – every single day. Unlike traditional systems that depend on static databases or delayed telecom updates, Truecaller delivers real-time intelligence that evolves with user behavior, communication patterns, and emerging global spam and fraud threats. This continuous learning loop ensures that users are always equipped with the most relevant, up-to-date context transforming the way we understand and respond to incoming calls.

This means Truecaller can do much more than just identify a number:

  • It can indicate whether the caller is a known fraudster or part of a scam network

  • It can tell you if the number is “likely a business” or “likely important”, even if there is not enough community feedback

  • It can classify the type of business – for example, Delivery, Customer Support, or Insurance

  • It can alert you about suspicious behavior, even before that number has been widely reported by the community

  • It can provide a single line AI summary of hundreds of user comments, while the phone is still ringing

Built for a World Where Threats Evolve by the Minute
The scale and sophistication of phone scams are growing rapidly with Truecaller identifying more than 56 billion spam and fraud calls in 2024. According to the Global Anti‒Scam Alliance and Feedzai, worldwide losses from scams topped an estimated $1.03 trillion in 2024. With phone calls and messaging among the most common fraud methods, this highlights the growing urgency of real-time caller intelligence and protection.

Truecaller’s edge lies in its adaptive AI, which detects emerging fraud patterns in real time and learns from them across regions, languages, and formats. A number flagged for impersonation in one country can be proactively labeled elsewhere, thanks to shared intelligence and behavioral modeling. Built on global data but tuned for local context, Truecaller ensures nuanced, accurate protection and sustained user trust.

A Global Safety Net Built by the Community
Truecaller’s global scale is its greatest strength. With hundreds of millions of users across 190+ countries, the platform benefits from an immense stream of real-time, community-driven feedback enabling its AI to detect threats like fraud, spoofing, and robocalls faster and more accurately than traditional systems. In a time of rising digital deception, Truecaller acts as a frontline defense: AI-powered, human-informed, and built around trust. As it continues to evolve, its mission remains clear: to make communication smarter, safer, and seamlessly contextual.

About Truecaller
Truecaller is an essential part of everyday communication for over 450 million active users, with more than a billion downloads since launch and close to 56 billion unwanted calls identified and blocked in 2024 alone. The company has been headquartered in Stockholm since 2009 and has been publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since October 2021. Visit www.truecaller.com for more information.

MX Advertising Powers Mahanagar Gas Limited’s First-ever Brand Campaign: Mumbai Chalta hai MGL Par!

Mahanagar Gas Ltd. (MGL), one of India’s leading natural gas distribution companies, has unveiled its first-ever brand campaign Mumbai chalta hai MGL par!. The campaign highlights MGL’s indispensable role in the city’s daily life, backed by powerful statistics that capture its scale and impact.

‘Mumbai Chalta Hai MGL Par!’ – A brand campaign that captures the sheer scale of MGL’s presence in Mumbai

For over three decades, MGL has been at the heart of Mumbai’s energy ecosystem. Today, the brand directly powers more than 28 lakh households with Piped Natural Gas (PNG) and fuels over 11 lakh vehicles with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), while also serving industries and commercial establishments across the city.

Mumbai Chalta Hai MGL Par

Watch it on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watchv=FB9KPmLbxj8

Ms. Neera Phate, Head Corporate Communications, MGL
Every single day, millions of Mumbaikars depend on MGL, often without realising it. From fuelling kitchens in more than 28 lakh homes to powering over 11 lakh vehicles on our roads, MGL is truly a lifeline of the city. Mumbai chalta hai MGL par! is not just a campaign line; it is a reality we are proud to enable, and this campaign is a celebration of our inseparable bond with Mumbai.

The thought behind the campaign
Conceptualised by MX Advertising, the campaign marks a major milestone for MGL as it shifts from being seen purely as a utility provider to asserting its role as an enabler of Mumbai’s unstoppable pace.

Mr. Ajit Nair, Director, MX Advertising
The challenge was to craft a campaign that could capture the sheer scale of MGL’s presence in Mumbai, while also building an emotional bridge with the city. Numbers became our storytelling tool – because they don’t just talk about reach, they highlight the magnitude of MGL’s impact on everyday life. Mumbai chalta hai MGL par! is a simple line, but it captures the trust of millions and the impressive numbers that MGL has achieved in the last three decades.”

A creative approach rooted in scale and pride
The campaign brings alive real Mumbai moments but anchors them in numbers that matter. Creatives showcase statistics like ‘Kitchens in 28 lakh+ homes run on MGL PNG’ or ‘11 lakh+ vehicles run on MGL CNG‘ – everyday facts that reinforce how MGL fuels the city’s rhythm.

Mr. Atif Shaikh, Creative Director, MX Advertising
Instead of abstract promises, we chose to highlight hard facts. When we say that 28 lakh homes cook on MGL CNG and 11 lakh vehicles run on MGL PNG, it immediately builds credibility and pride. The creative idea was to combine numbers with human stories, so people see not just statistics, but their own lives reflected in the brand. That’s how we arrived at a line as universal and true as Mumbai chalta hai MGL par!

Taking the message to the streets, this multimedia campaign runs across print, outdoor, radio and digital platforms. The print-cum-outdoor campaign is also MX’s first AI-generated campaign.

With this campaign driven by MX Advertising, MGL has made a decisive entry into brand-led communication, establishing itself not just as a utility, but as the very energy that keeps Mumbai moving.

CCTE Secures 10 CFR Part 810 License, Advancing US-India Civil Nuclear Cooperation

Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) announces that the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) have granted a 10 CFR Part 810 Authorization (“Specific License”) to export their ANEEL fuel technology and services to India. The specific license, signed by Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, includes assurances from key Indian nuclear industry “end users”, including Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Nuclear Power Corporation India Limited (NPCIL), and the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB).

CCTE Secures 10 CFR Part 810 License, Advancing US-India Civil Nuclear Cooperation

CCTE designed and patented a thorium-enriched uranium fuel (called ANEEL fuel) that can “plug-and-play” in existing Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs), resulting in significantly higher burnup, reduced waste, lower costs, enhanced safety, and proliferation-resistant performance. The export license marks a major milestone, authorizing CCTE to export its nuclear technology from the United States to India. This validates the demand for ANEEL fuel in India, strengthens the U.S. HALEU industry, and paves the way for near-term U.S.-India nuclear cooperation.

Mehul Shah, CEO and Founder of CCTE, emphasized the broader implications, “The approval of the Part 810 license unlocks the full potential of ANEEL fuel and reignites the U.S.-India 123 Agreement, marking a historic milestone in strategic nuclear cooperation. We are deeply grateful to the U.S. and Indian establishments for their vision and support in enabling this breakthrough. With thorium at its core, ANEEL fuel delivers higher performance and energy security, driving a cleaner and safer energy future for the world.”

The achievement has also been recognized as a critical advancement for the U.S.-India partnership by leading organizations such as US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF). Mukesh Aghi, President and CEO of the USISPF, noted, “The U.S.-India energy partnership is a key pillar of our bilateral ties, and the approval of Clean Core Thorium Energy’s 10 CFR Part 810 license marks a historic step forward in U.S.-India civil nuclear cooperation. This milestone not only strengthens bilateral trust but also demonstrates how American innovation and Indian expertise can address the world’s growing demand for advancing energy security and nonproliferation goals.”

In August 2025, CCTE announced that the second set of four rodlets exceeded 45 GWd/MTU-nearly six to seven times the average burnup limit of standard natural uranium fuel used in PHWRs/CANDUs. This milestone burn-up accomplishment at Idaho National Lab’s Advanced Test Reactor provides technical validation for the ANEEL fuel’s potential to redefine performance and sustainability standards in the nuclear industry. Indian industry partners highlighted the advantages. “ANEEL fuel presents a substantial opportunity to enhance the competitive positioning of PHWR/CANDU technology, while simultaneously accelerating the realization of thorium as a more potentially sustainable nuclear fuel source than uranium,” said Anil V. Parab, Whole-time Director and Senior EVP at Larsen & Toubro.

In 2024, CCTE announced partnerships with key Indian private and public sector partners including Larsen & Toubro and the National Thermal Power Corporation, reinforcing the strong foundation for collaboration in deploying advanced nuclear technologies. CCTE plans to further technical collaboration and commercial contracts with Indian partners in the coming months for commercialization of the ANEEL fuel.

About Clean Core Thorium Energy
Clean Core Thorium Energy is a U.S.-based nuclear innovation company developing advanced nuclear fuel solutions using thorium and HALEU. Its patented ANEEL™ fuel is designed to enhance the safety, economics, and nonproliferation profile of PHWRs and CANDU reactors while drastically reducing nuclear waste.
