Through its Portfolio Management Service (PMS), Integrow is launching its first multi-asset strategy termed as CREAM Portfolio which would provide an opportunity to invest in India’s buoyant Real Estate segment growth-driven appreciation coupled with regular distribution and downside protection for a unique investment experience.

Ramashrya Yadav, CEO and Founder of Integrow, said “The real estate market in India offers a wealth of opportunities for investors.

By leveraging Integrow’s expertise, cutting-edge technology, and strong partnerships, we are confident in our ability to serve investors and deliver sustainable alpha for our stakeholders.”

The company’s offerings are designed to deliver sustainable alpha, ensuring value creation for all stakeholders by leveraging the 100+ years of combined investment experience of its partners. Integrow aims to reach out and share its vision of transforming real estate democratization based on authenticity and transparency with the investors and investment advisor community. It aims to educate investors on how to enhance overall investment returns through smart strategies: pursuing superior returns, managing risk, and building the portfolio.

Integrow’s target audience comprises a diverse range of individuals and organizations seeking expert guidance, professional management, and wealth maximization in their real estate investment portfolios. This includes individual investors (high net worth individuals, ultra-high net worth individuals, single family offices, multi-family offices, and other individuals in need of specialized services), institutional investors, channel partners (private bankers, investment advisers, wealth managers, and similar professionals seeking expert advice and management solutions for their clients’ wealth), commercial property owners and real estate developers.

The company’s value proposition lies in its commitment to help investors by offering direct access to high-quality assets. Key highlights of their approach include a seasoned leadership and investment team, unparalleled access to its roster of partnerships, comprehensive evaluations, strategic reporting, active risk management and technology-led investing.

India, 15th September, 2023 – PatSeer, a leading Indian AI-driven B2B SaaS platform for Intellectual Property (IP) Research and Intelligence is excited to announce a completely new and rebuilt semantic search powered by an advanced GPT-driven language model. The new semantic search replaces its older Natural Language search capabilities in the product by custom-training the underlying LLM model to understand patent semantics. PatSeer’s new AI search feature brings a significant improvement in result accuracy on tests conducted across various research sectors, further solidifying their presence as a global company which caters to prominent blue chip firms in India and abroad. PatSeer is also the platform of choice for the Indian Patent Office for their day to day patent examination activities.

With this new development, patent professionals are no longer confined to the contextuality limitations of Boolean searches and can capitalise on PatSeer’s AI capabilities for comprehensive searches. As a platform that’s used by thousands of IP searchers on a daily basis, PatSeer’s complex Boolean search functionality will continue to remain crucial for certain IP projects. However now, with the integration of the new semantic search, PatSeer is offering the best of both worlds, eliminating the need for two separate systems.

Further, with a true Boolean and AI integration, users get unique capabilities that neither can provide independently. For example, one can initiate a semantic search and narrow the results iteratively with Boolean searches and vice versa. It also allows for the semantic re-ranking of Boolean results using a paragraph or a relevant patent. The system also suggests related records to existing results based on the underlying language model’s contextual understanding. For transparency purposes, users can view the closest matching snippets from full text to understand why a record scored higher in their results. The new semantic search is also immediately available as an API for integration into internal systems.

“In the many conversations with patent professionals, I’ve been told that Boolean and AI-based patent systems will always be separate tools and I could never accept that,” remarked Manish Sinha, Founder and Chief Technology Officer at PatSeer. “I’m excited to debunk that notion today. PatSeer has become the first to offer a seamless fusion of transformative AI-driven search within a professional patent search database. The days of maintaining access to two separate solutions or paying by the query are over. At PatSeer our commitment to harnessing the power of Deep Learning AI to tackle greater challenges remains stronger than ever. Following the launch of our AI Classifier last year, the advent of our new Semantic Search marks another significant milestone in this journey. We are quite excited with the possibilities here and the road ahead.”

With a commitment to remain at the forefront of AI-driven solutions, PatSeer is paving the way for the future of patent research. PatSeer offers IP experts worldwide patent search with AI technology, faceted filtering, advanced analytics for comprehensive IP business intelligence, an intuitive user experience, and optimised workspaces, and leads the charge in utilising AI within IP research and analysis tools. It aims to establish itself as the pioneer in addressing significant challenges in the field by offering customised AI solutions tailored to meet its clients’ unique needs.

During that era, child artists were relatively limited, as many perceived it as taboo to involve children in the entertainment industry. However, I believe destiny had its role to play, and everything fell into place, allowing me to be part of numerous wonderful projects as a child artist.”

Speaking further, Nehha Pendse expressed her gratitude for the enriching experiences she had while working with various artists. She particularly highlighted her admiration for Sunny Deol, with whom she shared the screen in her early career. “Sunny Deol is one of my favorites among the many talented artists I’ve worked with. He is a remarkably soft-spoken and respectable man. Despite his commanding presence, he remained humble and grounded, especially toward the people he collaborated with. His dedication to his craft is truly commendable, and it’s something I deeply cherish about him,” she added.

The new episodes on May I Come In Madam will soon air on Star Bharat. The story amusingly follows a man (Sajan) played by Sandeep Anand caught between his suspicious wife Kashmira played by Sapna Sikarwar and attractive boss, Sanjana played by Nehha Pendse highlighting Sajan’s humorous dilemma as he manages his feelings for his Boss and his Wife.
