Wordly Enhances Live Subtitles and Captions to Meet Growing Global Demand for Better Attendee Accessibility at Conference Presentations

 

“Captions have become a standard part of how audiences consume content today,” said Lakshman Rathnam, Founder and CEO of Wordly. “An estimated 85% of viewers worldwide use captions or subtitles at some point while watching content. Whether it’s a TV show, livestream, or a presentation on the main stage at a conference, audiences increasingly expect to be able to follow along visually.” 

Purpose-built for AV professionals, the Wordly Subtitles App extends real-time AI captioning and translation directly into production environments. Instead of just displaying captions on a side monitor or browser window, the app generates high-quality overlays that can be projected on main stage screens or embedded into streams, helping audiences follow content clearly whether they are in the room or watching remotely. 

The Wordly Subtitles App connects to an active Wordly session and renders real-time captions in multiple display formats optimized for production workflows. 

Key Features 

       Live Caption Overlays for Content – Add real-time captions directly onto presentations, video streams, and other content.

       Broadcast-Ready Output Formats – Supports lower / upper thirds, high-contrast captions, text overlays, and green screen compositing.

       Production Workflow Integration – Works seamlessly with tools such as OBS, video switchers, and streaming platforms.

       Fast Setup for Production Teams – Configure caption appearance and integrate into an existing workflow in seconds.

       Reusable Caption Templates – Save caption styles and settings for consistent use across multiple events.

       Professional Display Quality – Deliver clean captions suitable for main stage screens, livestreams, and recorded content. 

“Organizations are presenting more live content than ever,” Rathnam added. “From conferences and hybrid events to enterprise town halls and product launches, the Wordly Subtitles App makes it easy for production teams to embed captions directly on stage screens or into streams, creating accessible and professional experiences for all audiences.” 

How the Subtitles App Supports Enterprise Communications 

       Improves accessibility by embedding real-time captions directly into presentations and broadcasts.

       Ensures clarity for global teams during meetings, town halls, and corporate events.

       Simplifies caption delivery for production teams by removing the need for side monitors or complex workflows.

       Enhances hybrid events by helping both in-room and remote audiences follow presentations.

       Delivers professional experiences with caption overlays designed for stage screens and livestreams. 

The launch of the Wordly Subtitles App is part of four major products introduced by Wordly this quarter, including Wordly Workspaces, mobile app extensions, and enhanced integration with Microsoft Teams. Together, these updates create a seamless ecosystem for real-time translation, captioning, and collaboration across desktop, mobile, internal meetings, and live event stages.

CERo Therapeutics Provides Shareholder Update

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 11, 2026 — CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CERO) (“CERo” or the “Company”), an innovative cellular immunotherapy company pursuing new targets and novel phagocytic mechanism, provides an update through the letter to stockholders and stakeholders from CEO Chris Ehrlich:

To our stockholders and stakeholders:

Following our recent Form 8-K filing confirming receipt of convertible debt funding to support current operations, we believe it is an appropriate time to provide an update on CERo Therapeutics’ operational and scientific progress. Over the past six months, the Company has advanced its clinical development activities, engaged in strategic discussions, and continued to manage resources with fiscal discipline.

 

During this period, we have progressed the development of our lead candidate, CER-1236, including observations consistent with an acceptable safety and tolerability profile to date, across multiple treated patients. We have also observed biologic activity consistent with the mechanism of the therapy, including approximately 20–70-fold cell expansion, peaking between days 7–14 and followed by continued persistence as measured in peripheral blood. These early observations contribute to our understanding of CER-1236 and support continued clinical evaluation of the program.

Notably, in the second patient treated in our ongoing Phase I study, we observed an interval of apparent disease stability during which the patient’s disease progression and requirement for platelet transfusion support did not increase following multiple infusions of CER-1236. While this is an early observation from a single patient and Phase I studies are primarily designed to evaluate safety, we believe the clinical course of this patient is noteworthy.  This patient had previously been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a disorder of the bone marrow that can progress to acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

 

The emerging clinical observations provide an early signal that supports continued investigation of CER-1236. These data are helping guide the Company’s ongoing development strategy, including exploration of dosing approaches and patient selection in future cohorts.

While CER-1236 demonstrated activity across multiple tumor models during preclinical development, the observations to date in the MDS setting highlight a potentially important area for further study. We believe these early findings may also support future discussions with potential strategic partners regarding the continued development of the program.

Progress in Phase 1 Clinical Trial and Strategic Focus on MDS
We recently announced data from our ongoing CERTAIN-T Phase 1 clinical trial that reflects the Company’s current development approach for our lead compound, CER-1236. Based in part on early clinical observations in a patient with MDS, a disorder of the bone marrow that can precede AML, the Company has refined its development strategy to increase focus on enrolling patients with MDS while maintaining optionality in AML.

This strategic refinement was informed in part by observations from a patient who received four infusions of CER-1236 over approximately five months at the lowest dose level in the study.

As previously announced, prior to receiving CER-1236 the patient required frequent platelet transfusions. During the period following treatment in the study, the patient experienced an interval of platelet transfusion independence lasting more than two months, exceeding the commonly referenced ≥56-day durability benchmark used in MDS studies.

The Company is actively seeking to enroll additional patients with similar clinical characteristics to further evaluate this observation. If similar findings are observed in additional patients, these data may help inform future discussions with regulatory authorities and potential strategic partners regarding the continued development of CER-1236.

To date, the Company has initiated the second cohort of the trial, and two additional patients have recently undergone apheresis, a procedure in which blood cells are collected to manufacture CER-1236 for each individual patient. The Company plans to initiate dosing for these patients during March and April.

Pursuing a Strategy to List on a Major Exchange
Re-establishing our listing on a major exchange remains one of our key priorities.  To that end, we have engaged with an investment bank to raise capital and pursue a strategy intended to support a potential relisting on the Nasdaq Capital Market.  We believe that our new partner’s institutional relationships and sector expertise align well with our goal of raising sufficient capital in a disciplined manner while attracting longer-term, knowledgeable investors who are familiar with the clinical development landscape and strategic direction. In addition, we are considering other potential paths for relisting on a national securities exchange, including potential business combinations with listed companies, which may include a reverse merger or a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company.

Continued Funding Support
As recently disclosed, as we pursue new financing opportunities and seek to relist on Nasdaq, our lead investor continues to support CERo’s operations through investments in convertible debt. Their commitment to CERo has enabled us  to sustain operations and advance our clinical programs. We believe our clinical development and focus on our financing efforts and strategy for relisting on Nasdaq will be beneficial to all CERo stockholders and are grateful for the continued confidence our loyal stockholder base.

Strategic Discussions Regarding Early Data Readouts
We continue to engage in ongoing discussions with potential strategic partners following the most recent data readouts, as is regularly seen in the biotech industry. While these  conversations are encouraging, they remain at an early stage and have not resulted in formal agreements. We believe the evolution of our strategy and growing dataset may catalyze future conversations. To the extent permitted under applicable law and contractual obligations, we expect to provide further updates to stockholders should any of these discussions advance in a manner that materially impacts the Company.

Board Expansion – Appointment of Eric Francois
Finally, we recently announced that Eric Francois joined our board of directors.  Eric brings decades of experience in life sciences finance, capital markets, and corporate development, including deep expertise in capital raising, M&A, and strategic partnerships.  His involvement with the Company is among multiple catalysts that, we believe, will positively impact CERo in the months to come.  Eric was instrumental in our discussions with our new investment bank and is already assisting with other potential funding opportunities, operational improvements, and external viewpoints on the Company’s next phase of growth.

Dedicated, Engaged Professionals Working Together to Achieve Success
It should never go without saying that CERo’s world class team – employees, partners, consultants, and advisors – all remain focused and excited about achieving the common goal of improved patient care and improving patients’ lives through innovative clinical development.  Despite challenges that might have derailed other companies several times over, the CERo team has continued to perform with enthusiasm toward the achievement of bringing CER-1236 to the next inflection point and beyond.

Our take-home message is clear:  CERo is operational, continuing to advance our clinical programs, and generally building momentum. We are committed to transparent communication, and we look forward to sharing the outcomes of each of our ongoing activities in the future. We thank you for your continued support and confidence in our novel approach to treatment and our leadership.

Sincerely,
Chris Ehrlich
CEO
CERo Therapeutics

Fitell Announces Corporate Name and Ticker Changes and Rebranding to GMEX Robotics

Company extends its consumer-first foundation beyond fitness equipment e-commerce into the design and deployment of AI-powered robotics and intelligent consumer technologies

Sydney, Australia, March 11, 2026 — In a move that redefines its corporate identity and market trajectory, Fitell Corporation (NASDAQ: FTEL) (“Fitell”, “GMEX Robotics” or the “Company”) today announces its rebranding to GMEX Robotics. The rebrand reflects a deliberate strategic evolution of the Company’s mission, extending its consumer-first foundation beyond fitness equipment e-commerce into the design and deployment of AI-powered robotics and intelligent consumer technologies.

“This rebrand is a revolution in our ambition, but an evolution of our expertise,” said Sam Lu, GMEX Robotics CEO. “As Fitell, we built a robust operation centered on consumer needs. As GMEX Robotics, we amplify that focus by applying advanced artificial intelligence and robotics to solve real human problems. Our fitness and health division remains a vital part of our operations; it is our testing ground and our inspiration. It ensures that as we build sophisticated robots, we never lose sight of the human they are designed to serve.”

The Company filed its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in accordance with the BVI Business Companies Act (as amended) and, effective March 2, 2026, completed its legal name change to “GMEX ROBOTICS CORPORATION ” pursuant to such filing (the “Name Change“). In connection with the Name Change, the Company will also change its ticker symbol on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) from “FTEL” to “GMEX” (the “Ticker Change“).

The Company’s Class A ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares“) are expected to commence trading on the Nasdaq under the new corporate name and new ticker symbol as early as market open on March 12th, 2026. In connection with the name and ticker changes, the Company’s CUSIP number will remain unchanged. No action is required by existing shareholders, nor will any certificates representing Ordinary Shares need to be exchanged.

The rebrand reflects the next phase of the company’s long-term vision. Effective immediately, GMEX Robotics will focus on designing, manufacturing, and commercializing AI-driven robotic solutions for the consumer market, building on its foundation of expertise in fitness and health products. This shift represents the Company’s commitment to leading the next technological wave, where intelligent machines become an integral part of daily life. Rather than a wholesale departure from its roots, GMEX Robotics will continue to operate its existing fitness and health-related product business, which remains the crucial operational foundation for future growth. This legacy vertical functions as a hands-on laboratory for understanding human movement, ergonomics, and daily routines. The deep understanding of consumer wellness garnered through years of serving the fitness market will directly inform the design and development of the Company’s next generation robotic products.

GMEX Robotics will focus its efforts on three primary pillars:

  1. Consumer and Commercial Robotics: Developing intuitive and interactive robots designed to assist with daily tasks, provide smart home integration, and offer new levels of convenience and connectivity to boost productivity.
  2. AI-Driven Hardware: Embedding advanced artificial intelligence into physical products to create self-learning and adaptive user experiences.
  3. Innovation & Ecosystem: Building a robust ecosystem of robotic products that communicate and evolve, powered by proprietary AI algorithms.

While the Company’s history in the fitness sector provides a strong foundation in logistics, supply chain management, and consumer engagement, GMEX Robotics is now engineered for a different market. The Company is actively assembling a new leadership team and technical workforce specializing in mechatronics, computer vision, and machine learning to drive this ambitious agenda.

The transition from Fitell to GMEX Robotics signifies the close of one chapter and the exciting, bold beginning of another. The Company invites investors, innovators, and consumers to join them as they build the intelligent future.

Sriperumbudur: The Engine of Tamil Nadu’s Manufacturing Rise

Chennai, Mar 11th:  With a diversified economic base, robust infrastructure and progressive policies, Tamil Nadu has positioned itself as a leader in development and inclusive growth. This is clearly reflected in the state achieving a real growth rate of 11.2% in 2024-25, the highest among major states, according to a recent economic survey by the Tamil Nadu government.
 
Tamil Nadu benefits from significant productive capacity and efficiency advantages along with high levels of human capital, reflected in literacy, technical education and skill development, ensuring a productive workforce capable of supporting both manufacturing and services, the survey added.
 
Few places illustrate that story better than Sriperumbudur. Primarily an agrarian economic area, the region got a facelift with it first entered the global manufacturing map in the late 1990s with the arrival of a Korean automobile major. Over time, the ecosystem diversified. When Samsung Electronics decided to establish its Sunguvarchatram plant in 2007, it signalled the region’s evolution from an auto hub into broader electronics manufacturing cluster.Today, Sriperumbudur and the surrounding belt host several global electronics and telecom manufacturers — including Samsung, Foxconn, Flex, Salcomp and Dell — along with a dense network of component suppliers serving domestic and export markets for mobile phones, laptops and consumer durables. The region has emerged as a major employment generator, providing jobs for over 70,000 people.
 
“The Sriperumbudur story reinforces a critical policy insight: manufacturing-led growth delivers its greatest impact when job creation is paired with skill development, fair wages, and long-term workforce investment. Companies like Samsung Electronics demonstrate how early, sustained industrial investments can transform regional economies – not just by creating employment, but by formalising livelihoods, raising income standards, and improving workforce productivity,” said Shailesh Khanna, Brand Lead, ManpowerGroup India.
 
Industrialisation in Sriperumbudur has reshaped household income patterns, skill profiles and aspirations. Young people who once migrated to cities for uncertain employment are now able to access formal-sector jobs closer to home. Ancillary industries — logistics, housing, retail, food services and training institutes — have flourished alongside anchor investors.
 
Industry observers note that early entrants like Hyundai and Samsung helped establish wage and welfare benchmarks that influenced the broader ecosystem. Publicly available employer review platforms such as Glassdoor and AmbitionBox indicate that established players in the region are often perceived to offer structured wage growth and formal employment benefits. Such practices contribute to workforce stability in what has become one of India’s most important electronics corridors.
 
Nearly three decades after the first wave of global manufacturers arrived, the transformation is visible in everyday life. Concrete homes have replaced thatched roofs. Educational attainment has risen. Financial savings and asset ownership have increased. A generation that once depended on agriculture and informal work now participates in formal manufacturing and global supply chains.
 
“Overseas investments catalyze local economic growth by enabling the development of modern industrial estates in Chennai — fostering technology transfer, creating quality jobs, and empowering local companies to scale and compete globally, ” said Sanjay Chugh, City Head & Director, Anarock Property Consultants Pvt Ltd.
 
This is reflected amply in the Tamil Nadu growth story which is now outperforming the national index for growth. The state is poised to become a $150-billion electronics hub by 2030 and will also become a one trillion-dollar economy by 2030-31 with a target of 12 to 14% annual nominal growth. Sriperumbudur’s journey underscores a broader lesson: industrial investment, when sustained over time, can anchor local prosperity. Electronics manufacturing has not merely created factories; it has reshaped a regional economy.

SLB Provides Update on Middle East Operations and First Quarter Outlook

Business Wire India

SLB (NYSE: SLB) continues to closely monitor the unfolding situation in the Middle East and adapt its operations.

 

The safety and security of SLB’s employees is the highest priority, and the company has activated local and regional crisis response teams that are meeting daily. Travel to and transit through the region have been suspended, and the company has begun to demobilize operations in a few countries in response to customer actions to safeguard personnel and facilities. These measures will continue as long as necessary until the environment in the region has stabilized. SLB is working closely with local authorities and its customers to monitor the situation and will begin a phased resumption of full activity as conditions allow.

 

 

SLB revenue for the first quarter will be lower than expected, and the company expects to incur additional costs resulting in an impact of approximately 6-9 cents of earnings per diluted share for the first quarter. Given the dynamic nature of the environment, these factors could change, and we will continue to closely monitor developments and their impact.

 

 

Despite these near-term disruptions, SLB remains confident in the underlying resilience of its global business, including the Middle East. The company has dealt with numerous geopolitical crises throughout its 100-year history and has deep experience navigating these challenges while remaining focused on serving its global customer base.

Tata AMC Sees Healthy Nifty50 Earnings Growth Despite Middle East Geopolitical Risks

 Rahul SinghChief Investment Officer Equities, Tata Asset Management

“Recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East have led to an increase in the risk premium for Indian equities, largely driven by concerns around crude prices and their potential impact on the rupee. However, valuations have become more reasonable with the Nifty trading around 20 times earnings. While near-term sentiment may remain sensitive to global developments, sectors such as consumer and pharmaceuticals could remain relatively insulated, while metals and energy may benefit from higher commodity prices. Credit growth has also improved to around 14.5 percent, which could support banking sector growth. Overall, earnings growth for the Nifty50 is expected to remain healthy at around 15–17 percent over FY26–FY27.”

 

Veristat Expands Regulatory and Clinical Services to Chinese Drug and Device Companies Seeking Efficient Way to Enter European Markets

Business Wire India

Veristat, a global clinical research organization (CRO) and consultancy specializing in complex studies, announced expanded regulatory and clinical trial services to international pharmaceutical and medical device companies seeking a streamlined path into European, including the United Kingdom and Switzerland, plus Australian, Canadian, and U.S. markets. Particularly, Veristat has helped many Chinese companies – including Hansoh Pharma and CStone Pharmaceuticals – successfully navigate regional regulatory requirements and legal complexities leading to product approvals. Now, Veristat is expanding to provide comprehensive regional clinical trial support.

 

China is the world’s second-largest drug producer but has traditionally focused on domestic commercialization. Today, that is changing. Nearly half of all new drug molecules in human trials worldwide now originate from China, and Morgan Stanley projects annual revenue from Chinese-originated drugs could reach $34 billion by 2030 and $220 billion by 2040. Due to recent policy changes that open new opportunity for China, it is expected to become a major hub for licensing deals for international commercialization. But before the ‘sleeping giant’ can awaken, it needs regulatory and, sometimes, clinical development support in local markets.

 

Veristat provides Chinese drug and device companies with trusted regulatory services to bring novel therapies already approved domestically through regional regulatory pathways for approval across Europe, the UK, Switzerland, the US, Canada, and Australia. The American-based CRO has extensive experience preparing, submitting, and obtaining approvals for Marketing Authorization Applications (MAA) and New Drug Applications (NDAs), often based largely on foreign data. Veristat can also serve as the applicant to enable companies without a legal presence in these regions to quickly and efficiently submit their regulatory dossiers.

 

“Veristat has the deep understanding of the regulatory landscape needed to support foreign organizations with entry to key markets. Our team really enjoyed working with the Veristat team, as they always supported with prompt responses, flexibility, and recommendations on problem-solving,” said Li Zhang, Regulatory Affairs at CStone Pharmaceuticals.

 

Veristat’s multidisciplinary team conducts a thorough Gap Analysis of each customer’s data package, recommends the most efficient regulatory strategy, and guides the best path to approval across countries. This includes identifying and generating any additional analyses required, as well as compiling or developing the necessary data for submission to the relevant agencies. For instance, Veristat offers comprehensive clinical trial execution support for foreign companies whose domestic clinical trial data is not sufficient for local regulatory requirements.

 

“Veristat has had tremendous success for China-based customers recently, securing approvals in the US, EU, and UK. These successes were achieved through comprehensive dossier development and effective negotiations with EMA, MHRA, and FDA,” explained Daphne Smyth, Vice President of Global Regulatory Affairs at Veristat. “We also support subsequent submissions in Canada, Switzerland, Australia, and other regions globally, and provide comprehensive assistance throughout the entire agency review process.”

 

Between 2020 and 2025, Veristat submitted 68 initial INDs and DMFs, 10 initial Food and Drug Administration (FDA) marketing applications, and 8 initial EMA/MHRA/Swissmedic marketing applications. With 30 years of supporting more than 100 regulatory approvals, the full-service CRO has deep experience in rare disease, neurological disease, oncology, and advanced medicines including cell and gene therapies.

 

Veristat will be attending BIO China (March 12-14) and CMAC (March 18-20) both in Suzhou, China, where companies can learn more about its international service offering. Email Lorenzo.scalise@veristat.com to arrange a meeting.
