Bengaluru, Feby 10: Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), the operator of Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport), has entered into a strategic partnership with Mu Sigma, a global decision sciences company, to further advance BLR Airport as a one-of-a-kind “Algorithmic Airport” that delivers unparalleled customer experience by harnessing the power of data-driven decision making.

The collaboration builds on BIAL’s established Customer-First approach, where every interaction is informed by real-time insights and designed around individual passenger needs. By leveraging Mu Sigma’s proprietary Decision Intelligence Platform AI and advanced analytical models, BIAL will unify and analyse data across airport operations to anticipate evolving traveller requirements and proactively enhance convenience, comfort, and efficiency. This reinforces BLR Airport’s evolution from a transit hub into a holistic experience hub designed around passenger intent.

Through this partnership, BIAL will deepen its data-driven approach to decision-making by integrating Mu Sigma’s advanced Decision Intelligence capabilities across key passenger and operational touchpoints. Unified intelligence from existing systems will enable teams to proactively identify patterns, anticipate requirements, and optimise service delivery in real time. By strengthening its analytical backbone, BIAL aims to improve operational reliability, personalise passenger experiences, and continuously raise service standards across BLR Airport.

At the core of this transformation are guest-first capabilities that make every touchpoint smarter and more intuitive. Predictive analytics will help reduce queues at shops, restaurants, and parking, ensuring a smoother flow through the terminal. Real-time demand forecasting and dynamic pricing will further optimise parking and transport. Passengers engaging through the Pulse App and the official website (bengaluruairport.com) will enjoy an enhanced digital experience with tailored recommendations, loyalty rewards, and timely notifications on services and offers. Inside the terminal, location-based promotions, improved signage, and curated deals will make wayfinding and decision-making effortless.

“At BIAL, we are committed to continuously enhancing the airport experience, and this collaboration supports that ongoing journey. Harnessing Mu Sigma’s advanced Decision Science capabilities will allow us to personalise every interaction, anticipate disruptions before they occur, and elevate efficiency across operations. BLR Airport is charting the path towards a new era of world-class guest experiences.” said George Fanthome, Chief Technical Officer, BIAL.

“Bangalore cannot remain satisfied as just the IT capital of India; it must rise to become the very symbol of innovation for the entire nation. Serving as the gateway to this city, BLR Airport carries the responsibility of representing that pride and possibility. BLR Airport is not just a place where people begin their travels, it is where they embark on their dreams, and it must provide the experience that such a journey deserves, leaving behind a memory that stays with them long after they’ve gone. Together, BIAL and Mu Sigma have the opportunity to reimagine what an airport experience can be, and to create the world’s first true algorithmic airport—an enduring symbol of India’s innovation to the world.” said Dhiraj Rajaram, Founder and CEO, Mu Sigma.

As industries continue to evolve at breakneck speed, traditional degrees alone are no longer enough to stay relevant. In 2026, learners and professionals are increasingly turning to outcome-driven upskilling platforms that offer real-world exposure, mentorship, and career acceleration rather than just certificates.

Here are some of the top upskilling platforms to watch in 2026, based on their focus on employability, learner outcomes, and alignment with future-ready skills.

1. NextLeap: 

For young professionals who want to break into tech jobs, NextLeap is a strong job accelerator that helps users find successful paths into high-demand technology-specific positions such as Product Management, UI/UX Design, Data Analytics, Business Analytics, and Software Engineering. NextLeap’s unique fellowship-based approach uses a combination of live training sessions, hands-on projects, peer-based learning, and interview preparation. Unlike traditional passive learning styles, NextLeap’s approach focuses on real-world case studies, solving problems and helping develop skills through structured mentorship. Due to a rapidly increasing audience of users, and recognition as one the most exciting EdTech startups in South Asia, NextLeap is well-positioned to become a primary resource for young professionals who want to obtain practical job-focused skills in 2026.

2. Coursera

Ideal for students looking for a structured program from one of the top global universities and corporations. Coursera provides access to both sub-programs and complete degree programs in many fields, including artificial intelligence, data science, cloud computing, business, and cybersecurity. Coursera combines the academic quality of college courses with industry-relevant material as of 2026, making COURSES from accredited institutions of higher learning (and professional certifications) appealing to many learners.

3. upGrad

Ideal for working professionals who want formal recognition for their skill development. Build on its success as a key player in the upskilling sector in India by partnering with colleges to create long-term programs. upGrad focuses on four major themes: management, technology, data science and digital marketing. Professionals who wish to leave their current jobs to pursue structured professional development while continuing to earn an income are drawn to upGrad’s robust support of students through career services, alumni network connections and partnerships with their industry, making it a very popular choice for professionals.

4. Scaler

Best for people looking to improve their skills in Software Engineering and Coding If you’re looking for a way to become a better developer, Scaler (originally known as CareerMonk) can help improve your DSA, System Design and Software Engineering skill sets. Their extensive curriculum allows you to take live classes, receive mentorship and prepare for the top technology jobs available today. With the exponential growth of highly-skilled engineering professionals in 2026, expect Scaler to remain a significant player in developing talent and helping to build India’s developer workforce.

5. Udacity

Best for those seeking cutting edge technology skills and nano-degrees, the Nano-Degree Courses at Udacity are created for emerging technology areas, such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Autonomous Systems and Cloud Computing. Many of these courses were created in collaboration with leading Technology Companies, and are structured as Project-based courses. Expect Udacity to continue as a great option for learners who want to gain a high degree of specialization in emerging technology areas after 2026.

6. Simplilearn

Top choice: Professional certifications and enterprise education. Among the various certification training provider options available today, most people recognize Simplilearn for their entire suite of certification courses in cloud computing, DevOps, information security, project management and digital marketing. They also have an impressive enterprise education platform providing solutions for individual learners as well as corporate teams. With its many industry-aligned certifications Simplilearn maintains its relevance amongst up-and-coming professionals looking to rapidly gain additional skill sets.

The Road Ahead

The trend towards practical-based learning; through industry alignment; by having measurable learning outcomes; and finally having a greater emphasis placed on mentorship; hands-on or real-life applications; and how ready students are for careers rather than simple learning will drive the next phase for upskilling. In 2026 whoever(s) is/are expected to lead will likely be doing so from platforms like NextLeap, which connects the dots between learning and being employable in the eyes of the employer; thus, these types of businesses will help define the next generation of professionals.

As mid-to-large enterprises scale cloud adoption, digital customer platforms, and AI-led operations, their attack surface continues to expand. Yet many organisations remain focused on visible threats while overlooking structural vulnerabilities that quietly increase cyber risk. Insights from the India Cyber Threat Report 2026 by Seqrite, the enterprise arm of Quick Heal Technologies, suggest that attackers are increasingly exploiting gaps in visibility, identity controls, and partner ecosystems rather than relying solely on traditional intrusion methods. Meanwhile, Barracuda Networks highlights that modern attacks are becoming more evasive, often bypassing legacy defenses through automation and credential misuse.

Addressing these blind spots is essential, as enterprise resilience today depends on continuous awareness rather than reactive security.

1. Fragmented Visibility Across Hybrid Infrastructure

Enterprises now operate across multi-cloud environments, SaaS platforms, remote endpoints, and legacy systems. While this hybrid architecture enables flexibility, it often creates monitoring silos. Seqrite’s threat intelligence observations indicate that unmanaged assets and misconfigured environments frequently become entry points for attackers. Without unified visibility, threats can persist undetected and move laterally across networks. Consolidated security platforms that deliver centralized telemetry and real-time correlation are becoming critical for faster detection and response.

2. Identity Risks and Excessive Privileges

As organisations grow, so does identity sprawl—spanning employees, vendors, and machine accounts. Over time, access rights accumulate, leaving many users with more privileges than necessary. Barracuda Networks notes that credential-based attacks remain one of the most dependable methods for adversaries because they allow access without triggering conventional alarms. Enforcing least-privilege access, conducting regular entitlement reviews, and strengthening identity governance can significantly reduce this exposure while supporting zero-trust strategies.

3. Alert Fatigue Within Security Teams

Security tools generate massive volumes of alerts, many lacking actionable context. This often leads to operational fatigue, where critical threats risk being overlooked. Barracuda experts stress that security effectiveness relies not only on detection capability but also on operational clarity—ensuring automation enhances analysts’ decision-making instead of overwhelming them. Risk-based alerting, intelligent prioritisation, and clearly defined escalation paths help maintain response readiness without overburdening teams.

4. Underestimated Third-Party Exposure

Modern enterprises depend heavily on vendors for cloud services, analytics, payment processing, and logistics. Each integration expands the threat landscape. Seqrite researchers observe that attackers increasingly target smaller partners as indirect pathways into larger organisations. Treating vendor assessments as a one-time compliance task is no longer sufficient; continuous evaluation, contractual security standards, and shared incident response expectations are now essential components of cyber risk management.

5. Rising Digital Risk and Brand Exploitation

Cyber threats today extend beyond infrastructure to include brand impersonation, fake domains, and social media fraud. Experts at Quick Heal Technologies emphasise that attackers are increasingly weaponising brand identity to power phishing campaigns and financial scams. Proactive digital risk monitoring across open, deep, and dark web environments enables organisations to detect impersonation early and safeguard customer trust.

Looking Ahead

For mid-to-large enterprises, cybersecurity gaps often stem from overlooked fundamentals rather than lack of investment. Strengthening visibility, tightening identity controls, supporting security teams, evaluating partner risks, and monitoring external threats can significantly improve resilience. Organisations that address these blind spots will be better positioned to anticipate disruptions and embed cybersecurity as a strategic business enabler rather than a reactive safeguard.

• Refined Portability: Uses a magnesium alloy body to keep the weight around 1.26 kg, making it easy to carry between meetings.

Why it works: While it excels in visual polish and conferencing, it relies on soldered memory, which limits futureproofing compared to the dual-slot expandability of the other business laptops in this list.

Choosing the right management laptop in 2026 ultimately depends on the specific priorities of your organization’s infrastructure. HP remains a stalwart for organizations where deep-rooted security protocols are the primary drivers. Dell continues to lead for client-facing roles where display aesthetics is paramount for brand representation. While legacy players offer stability, ASUS earns a definite thumbs-up for its agile approach to service (friendly DOA policies and extensive service network) and its commitment to hardware longevity, and these are factors that are increasingly becoming the “trust-winners” for the next generation of Indian business leaders.

Mumbai, Feb 10:  Sky Gold and Diamonds Limited, today announced its Q3FY26 results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The company has continued a strong growth momentum, backed by rising exports, capacity enhancement plans, and deeper retail partnerships across India, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Q3 FY26 and 9M FY26 Financial Highlights (Consolidated)

 Commenting on the results, Mr. Mangesh Chauhan, Managing Director, Sky Gold and Diamonds Limited, said:

 “Our Q3 FY26 performance reflects the strength of our execution-led growth strategy, with consolidated revenue rising about 76% year-on-year and 19% sequentially, supported by sustained demand across domestic and export markets. Despite elevated gold prices and periodic volatility, the preference for lightweight, design-led jewellery has remained resilient, particularly with increasing adoption of 9kt and diamond studded jewellery formats among Gen Z consumers. It is further fueled by an increase in the advanced gold jewellery business and adding new marque customers in the Indian and Middle east market. Improved scale, deeper B2B partnerships and a growing international footprint have translated into strong operating leverage, with EBITDA more than doubling year-on-year and margins expanding to 7.34%.”

“Profitability continues to track ahead of revenue growth, with PAT increasing over 120% year-on-year, reflecting disciplined cost management and a higher share of value-added manufacturing. Looking ahead, while gold prices may remain range-bound in the near term, the medium-term outlook remains favourable, supported by structural demand drivers and the ongoing shift towards organised manufacturing. As we move into the final quarter of the year, our focus remains on strengthening execution, enhancing margins and scaling our global presence in a calibrated manner, supported by a healthy order pipeline and improving export traction.”

Operational Performance & Growth Drivers

Sky Gold and Diamonds continues to deliver industry-leading performance, consistently outpacing organized jewellery manufacturers across key operational and financial parameters. Backed by a structurally efficient cost model and disciplined capital deployment, the company remains focused on driving sustainable margin expansion while advancing its global growth agenda.

Key highlights for Q3 FY26 include:
