GOLD COAST, Australia, September 12, 2025 – Sovereign AI and AI agents are expected to shape public sector adoption of AI within the next two to five years, according to Gartner, Inc., a business and technology insights company. Both have reached the Peak of Inflated Expectations on the 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Government Services. 

Gartner Hype Cycles provide a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities. Gartner Hype Cycle methodology gives a view of how a technology or application will evolve over time, providing a sound source of insight to manage its deployment within the context of specific business goals.

“Public sector leaders face mounting pressure to meet rising citizen expectations, navigate geopolitical uncertainty and do more with less resources,” said Dean Lacheca, VP Analyst at Gartner. “AI agents can address these challenges, but success will depend on bridging the gap between innovation ambitions and broader government priorities to ensure investments strengthen services, trust and resilience.”

Among the innovations Gartner has identified as having high potential for government organizations, prompt engineering is expected to reach mainstream adoption within the next two to five years and machine customers within five to 10 years (see Figure 1).

Sovereign AI 

Sovereign AI refers to the efforts of nation states to invest in and progress their own development and use of AI to achieve their unique sovereign objectives. It enhances government operations through automation, modernizes processes to improve employee experience and accelerates citizen engagement.

Gartner predicts by 2028, 65% of governments worldwide will introduce some technological sovereignty requirements to improve independence and protect from extraterritorial regulatory interference. Sovereign AI aims to maximize AI value while reducing associated risks, especially for sovereign states that collaborate to achieve common goals. 

AI Agents

AI agents are autonomous or semiautonomous software entities that use AI techniques to perceive, make decisions, take actions and achieve goals in their digital or physical environments. They can help governments enhance service delivery, from processing citizen applications against policies and interpreting legislations, to automating routine tasks. 

Gartner predicts by 2029, 60% of government agencies globally will leverage AI agents to automate over half of the citizen transactional interactions, up from less than 10% in 2025. 

“Government leaders must incorporate AI agents into strategic planning by first identifying where they can deliver the most value,” said Lacheca. “Then run targeted pilots to manage expectations and address concerns from within the organization and from citizens. This should be followed by a clear roadmap to ensure initiatives progress beyond the pilot phase.” 

Prompt Engineering 

Prompt engineering involves providing text or image inputs to GenAI models to guide and constrain their responses, with well-structured prompts significantly enhancing response quality, performance and reliability. Governments can maximize returns on AI productivity tools by fostering AI literacy in their organizations by investing in context-specific prompt engineering skills and creating reusable prompt libraries to support effective prompt development.

“Governments are investing in AI solutions that work best when users create clear context-specific prompts,” said Lacheca. “They shouldn’t invest in AI solutions if they’re not willing to invest in the development of strong prompt engineering capabilities within their organizations.”

Machine Customer
Machine customers are nonhuman economic actors that purchase goods or services on behalf of people or organizations. Gartner predicts three billion B2B internet-connected machines can act as customers today, growing to eight billion by 2030. Governments will need the ability to authenticate, provide services and regulate machine customers. For example, the proposed electric vehicle road use tax in Australia could be administered by the vehicle reporting operations directly to the government.

“Government leaders need to identify where adoption of machine customers by citizens and industries will require the reimagination of regulatory enforcement and service delivery,” said Lacheca. “Existing government service delivery models will be disrupted, creating ethical, legal and accountability challenges. Governments can’t afford to be caught unprepared for the rise of machine customers.”

India, 2025: India’s beauty industry is about to experience a seismic shift with the launch of K Formula, the country’s first peptide-powered molecular haircare brand. Founded by entrepreneur Anoushka Adya, the brand introduces a science-driven, six-step repair ritual that promises visible transformation in as little as five minutes.

K Formula introduces a science-first, six-step ritual that doesn’t just coat hair but rebuilds it from within, at the molecular level. Powered by cutting-edge peptide technology, the range promises visible transformation in as little as five minutes. The brand’s bold claim? “New Hair in 5 Minutes.” For years, Indian haircare has been defined by oils, masks, and cosmetic quick-fixes. K Formula disrupts this narrative with what it calls the “Peptide Revolution”, reconnecting broken keratin chains to deliver lasting repair, resilience, and shine.

Anoushka Adya is an accomplished entrepreneur, the Founder of Relier Media Group. With a graduate degree in Marketing & Strategy from Warwick Business School, UK, Anoushka brings both academic rigor and creative flair to her ventures. She has built highly effective teams, driven innovation in content and design, and launched initiatives that merge purpose with impact. At the core of her mission is a desire to elevate Indian narratives while incorporating global standards.

“K Formula is deeply personal to me. For years, I searched for solutions that went beyond cosmetic quick fixes, and I knew Indian consumers deserved better. With peptides, we finally have the science to deliver true repair transformation you can see and feel in minutes. For me, this isn’t just about products; it’s about shifting the way we think about hair health in India,” says Anoushka Adya, Founder and CEO of K Formula.

Adding to its credibility, Delhi’s top celebrity hairstylist, Sahib Mongia, who has joined K Formula as the brand’s first official ambassador, calls it a game-changer: “As a stylist, I’ve tested every major global product on my clients over the years, but nothing has excited me like K Formula,” says Sahib Mongia, Hair Stylist, Ranked in Top 5 Best Hair Stylists and Founder of NOIR SALON. “The results are instant, visible, and lasting. This is the first Indian brand that genuinely competes with global science-backed products, and I believe it’s going to transform how Indians approach haircare.”

The brand makes its debut with a curated six-product collection, including a Peptide Hair Corrector (pre-shampoo), Peptide Shampoo, Peptide Conditioner, Molecular Leave-In Magic Mask, Molecular Repair Hair Oil, and a Peptide Dry Shampoo. Designed as a complete molecular repair system, each formula is vegan, sulphate-free, cruelty-free, and color-safe, priced between ₹700 and ₹1,500, making advanced peptide-powered haircare both premium and accessible.

In consumer trials, over 90% of participants reported that their hair felt softer, smoother, and healthier-looking after just one wash. The brand’s claim of “New Hair in 5 Minutes” is rooted in this data, reflecting its unique approach of molecular repair rather than cosmetic masking. Consumers today demand transparency, efficacy, and performance. With its science-first ethos and strong focus on education, K Formula is poised to lead this change. With a promise that’s both aspirational and accessible, K Formula positions itself as the brand India didn’t know it was waiting for. The first of its kind, it’s set to ignite conversations, spark a new wave in haircare, and put India at the forefront of the global peptide revolution.

This is the first Indian brand that genuinely competes with global science-backed products, and I believe it’s going to transform how Indians approach haircare.” Anoushka’s vision extends beyond bottles and boxes. “We’re not just selling formulas; we’re reimagining haircare for a new generation. It’s about creating a culture of hair health in India, where repair, strength, and longevity matter as much as beauty,” says Adya.

With a promise that’s both aspirational and accessible, K Formula positions itself as the brand India didn’t know it was waiting for. The first of its kind, it’s set to ignite conversations, spark a new wave in haircare, and put India at the forefront of the global peptide revolution. K Formula isn’t just another brand. It’s science. It’s culture. And it’s haircare, redefined.

Chennai, 12th September 2025: Chennai is facing a silent wellness crisis that is showing up in its hair. Traya’s latest nationwide data study, analyzing inputs from over 4 lakh anonymized Hair Test respondents across India, reveals that Chennai sits at the center of India’s hair fall map. The four key parameters; sleep, stress, gut health, and energy levels show a troubling imbalance in the city, with women consistently scoring lower than men.

A Multi-Root Problem, Not Just Hair

Hair fall is often seen as a cosmetic concern, but Traya’s data reveals it as a symptom of deeper internal issues. In Chennai, only 53% of men and 44% of women report getting peaceful sleep, placing the city mid-tier among metros but still alarmingly low. The gender gap in sleep quality is clear, with women struggling significantly more. Stress compounds the problem, with 51% of men and 47% of women reporting high stress levels meaning nearly half the city is living under constant pressure.

Gut health is where Chennai shows resilience: 54% of men and 49% of women record healthy gut markers, among the best nationwide. Yet women continue to lag behind men even in this stronger area. Energy levels tell a similar story: 45% of men and 38% of women report consistently high energy, higher than many Tier-1 metros like Delhi and Kolkata but still shadowed by a persistent gender gap. Together, these numbers reveal a multi-root wellness challenge that manifests visibly as hair fall.

The Science of Stress, Sleep, and Gut Health

Traya’s medical experts explain that poor sleep quality spikes cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, which in turn disrupts digestion, hormonal balance, and the hair growth cycle. Gut imbalances weaken nutrient absorption, and deficiencies in iron, protein, and vitamins accelerate hair loss.

“Traya’s latest nationwide study is an alarming wake-up call for Chennai and many metros. Across sleep, stress, and energy, the city consistently fares among the lowest, with only gut health showing some resilience. What shows up as hair fall is really the body raising a red flag. At Traya, our ideology has always been to address all these interconnected factors so our hair health and internal health are restored together, and the body can function at its best.” says Saloni Anand, founder Traya.

Traya’s insights position Chennai as a wellness paradox: the city’s strengths in diet and energy are being undermined by stress and sleep deprivation. Across every parameter, women fare worse than men, highlighting a gendered wellness gap that urgently needs attention. By mapping over 4 lakh users’ health inputs, Traya’s study underlines the need for holistic solutions combining Ayurveda, Nutrition, and Allopathy to restore balance from within.

Pune, September 12, 2025: Force Motors Limited, a key automotive player and India’s largest van manufacturer, today announced revised prices across its entire range of vehicles including Traveller, Trax, Urbania, Monobus, and Gurkha, effective 22nd September 2025. Coinciding with the onset of the festive season, the company will be passing on the full benefit of the revised 18% GST to its customers.

Making this announcement, Mr. Prasan Firodia, Managing Director of Force Motors Limited said, “The proposed GST rate rationalization is a landmark reform for the automotive industry and we at Force Motors welcome the reduction of GST rates from 28% to 18%, a move that will make a meaningful difference across critical mobility segments. Mass mobility solutions such as the Traveller, Urbania, and Trax will become more accessible, enabling safer and more reliable public transport, while ambulances too will benefit from the relaxation, easing the financial burden on healthcare providers and strengthening critical care infrastructure.

Moreover, the removal of Compensation Cess is a step in the right direction as it would help in bringing down the total incidence of GST taxation. This structural change is expected to further stimulate demand across the sector and provide a timely boost to festive season buying sentiment. The iconic Force Gurkha too stands to gain from the rate rationalization, making purpose-built, rugged mobility more attainable. Additionally, lower rates on engines, parts, and components will strengthen the supply chain and provide a strong impetus to the Government’s ‘Make-in-India’ vision”, he concluded. 

With demand rising in the festive period, customers are encouraged to confirm their bookings early to ensure on-time delivery of their vehicle.

September 12, 2025, Gurugram: Indifi Technologies, one of India’s leading digital platforms for MSME lending, today announced its FY25 financial performance, reflecting a year of strategic realignment, deeper technology integration, and sharper credit risk management.

Despite macroeconomic challenges across the MSME credit ecosystem, Indifi delivered a 22% year-over-year increase in operational revenue, driven by improved monetisation and platform activity. Over 55,000 MSMEs across India are now actively working with Indifi, with growing traction in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

Over the past year, Indifi has strengthened its credit portfolio, with a 30% improvement in the quality of disbursals during the last two quarters (Q3 FY’25 and Q4 FY’25), compared to the previous two quarters. This follows the tightening of risk policies and a strategic shift toward more resilient customer profiles. FY25 included provisioning-led losses due to wider credit stress and a change of accounting standards from IGAAP to IND AS. Additionally, Indifi’s portfolio recorded a 15% improvement in credit quality during Q1 FY’26, compared to the preceding two quarters.

 Building on this momentum, Indifi expanded its lending portfolio by scaling working capital and supply chain finance, and introducing sector-focused solutions for D2C, packaging, and retail. Over 50 per cent of new disbursals were covered under credit guarantee schemes, providing an added layer of protection against volatility.

The company continued to invest heavily in technology, deploying Document AI to automate classification and fraud detection, and integrating with consent-based platforms such as Account Aggregator, GSTN, and DigiLocker to streamline underwriting. It also introduced AI-powered tools to boost development efficiency. Together, these innovations reduced disbursal time, minimized human intervention, and strengthened the digital delivery experience. Financially, Indifi maintained capital adequacy well above the mandated thresholds, held a conservative debt-to-equity ratio, and kept elevated provisioning in line with the long-term health of its portfolio.

Commenting on the development, Alok Mittal, Co-founder and Executive Chairman of Indifi, said: “The past year has been transformative for us at Indifi as we took proactive steps to reinforce the fundamentals of our business. We strengthened our credit filters early, diversified our offerings toward secured lending, and invested in technology and risk management. FY25 was not about chasing scale, but about building a more resilient and future-ready platform. Our ability to grow through this phase reflects the depth of our model and the strength of our long-term commitment to India’s MSMEs.”

As India’s MSME landscape becomes more structured, digital and growth-oriented, Indifi is scaling with strategic intent. The company aims to expand its secured lending footprint, enhance its AI-led credit infrastructure and deepen outreach to high-potential yet underserved small businesses. The objective is to enable responsible credit access while creating long-term value for MSMEs, ecosystem partners and the broader economy.
