India,  Nov 27:  Icertis, the global leader in AI-powered contract intelligence, today announced the acquisition of Dioptra to further accelerate its best-of-breed AI technology for enterprise contracting. This marks the next milestone in the company’s long-term AI strategy following the launch of Icertis Vera and signals an inflection point in contract lifecycle management (CLM) innovation.

More than 80 percent of C-suite leaders are ready to let AI agents support contract negotiations, and AI capabilities from Icertis and Dioptra are turning this vision into reality. Dioptra’s surgical redlining and automated playbook creation augment the Icertis Contract Intelligence platform to advance speed and accuracy in contract operations and reimagine every contract interaction as an AI-first experience.

“Icertis and Dioptra share a commitment to keep customers at the forefront of what’s possible with AI. Their technology and talent are the perfect complement to underscore our leadership and enable Icertis to deliver even greater value across the entire contract lifecycle,” said Anand Subbaraman, CEO, Icertis. “Icertis has the most robust contract data repository in the market, and that enables us to deliver more accurate AI that understands the intention of contracts. Dioptra’s legal-centric tools will be an added catalyst to adoption of our platform as we continue to define the future of contracting with breakthrough AI.”

Contract data was historically housed in an average of 24 different systems, according to World Commerce & Contracting. Today, Icertis Contract Intelligence unifies contract data across the enterprise, delivering AI-driven insights, operations, and performance in one platform to streamline contract creation, optimise negotiations, and position businesses to realise long-term outcomes from their agreements. Dioptra builds on the Icertis platform’s operations capabilities – powered by Vera – with pre-signature agents that automate playbook creation based on existing contracts and handle first line of review on every new agreement. Together, this next-gen AI brings enterprises one step closer to fully autonomous contracting – where every agreement performs as intended and legal talent is deployed to its highest and best use.

“Becoming part of Icertis was a natural next step after Dioptra’s success as a Y Combinator startup and the early results from our partnership,” said Farah Gasmi, Co-founder of Dioptra. “It was clear from day one that we have a shared mindset around the opportunity to transform contracts into strategic business assets, and our team is excited to help drive this next chapter in Icertis’ journey as an AI company.”

Dioptra’s founders, hailing from Spotify, IBM Watson, and academic roles at Columbia University, will join the Icertis product and engineering teams to shape the future of AI-powered contract intelligence. Their legal expertise will further evolve the Icertis AI roadmap, positioning customers to gain:

· Automated playbook creation based on existing contracts to speed time to value, reinforce negotiation best-practices, and maximise outcomes with fully custom, AI-ready playbooks.

· Agent-powered risk review that instantly pinpoints noncompliance with governance standards and generates a streamlined issues list to minimise liability.

· Interactive surgical redlines that align precisely with bespoke playbooks to drive greater efficiency in contract reviews and alleviate legal workloads.

· One-click clause insertion via an integrated clause library to expedite contract drafting and pre-signature processes.

“Enterprises – particularly legal teams – demand accuracy, transparency, and defensibility from AI. Icertis is the AI company legal departments can trust to bridge the gap between innovation and governance and deploy contract AI with confidence,” said Subbaraman.

Icertis makes every contract deliver to turn contract clarity into operational confidence. Through next-gen offerings like Vera Agents, deep partnerships with AI leaders like SAP and Microsoft, and the financial viability to invest in long-term innovation, Icertis is rapidly advancing contract-specific AI that reflects the true intent of business agreements.

There’s a certain kind of exhale that happens only in the Maldives, a release so subtle you barely notice it at first. It arrives the moment the speedboat slows, the water shifts from deep cobalt to luminous turquoise, and the only sound left is the ocean breathing against the hull. Out here, surrounded by islands that seem to float rather than rise, you’re reminded how restorative simplicity can be.

Somewhere between the deadlines, the endless notifications, and the culture of always being available, rest has quietly become a luxury we no longer know how to claim. To put it in perspective, India is now the most vacation-deprived nation in the world, with three out of four Indians longing for rest yet unable to fully unplug. Even when they travel, many remain tethered to their screens, their inboxes, their to-do lists stepping away, but never fully stepping back.

Which is why in 2025, luxury travel is no longer defined by excess. It’s defined by the ability to disconnect, recalibrate, and return to yourself. And nowhere does this more gracefully than Four Seasons Resorts Maldives, a trio of experiences that move like chapters of a personal reset: Four Seasons Resorts Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru for deep healing, Four Seasons Resorts Maldives at Kuda Huraa for mindful connection, and Four Seasons Private Island Maldives at Voavah for complete liberation.

Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru

At Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru is the rare wellness destination that feels both deeply spiritual and uncompromisingly scientific. Spread across 44 acres of wilderness in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the island blends modern integrative medicine with ancient philosophies of healing. At its core is AyurMa, a pioneering wellness centre led by experts in Ayurveda, naturopathy, yoga therapy and planetary wellbeing. Every journey begins with a thoughtful, unhurried consultation and exploration of your dosha, circadian rhythm, emotional state, and lifestyle.

Guests can choose from signature experiences such as:

Panchakarma Cleanse: A personalised detox involving massages, herbs, treatments and therapeutic movement

Yoga Therapy Sessions: Personalised practices tailored to physical and emotional imbalances

Naturopathic Healing: Consultations addressing chronic fatigue, anxiety, digestion and sleep

Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa

Designed as a charming Maldivian village, the island is woven with coral-lined pathways, fragrant frangipani trees, and warm, intuitive hospitality that feels almost familial. Rooms and suites look out onto lagoon blues or sunrise surf breaks, creating a quiet visual rhythm that immediately softens the mind.

Wellness at Kuda Huraa is centered around experiences:
The Island Spa accessible by a boat ride offers marine-centric rituals infused with seaweed, ocean minerals, and local botanicals.

The signature Healing Tent Ritual blends breathwork, Reiki, sound healing, and sensory meditation.
The nightly Night Spa transforms the treetop deck into a celestial cocoon for stargazing massages and nocturnal treatments.

Four Seasons Private Island Maldives at Voavah

Four Seasons Private Island Maldives at Voavah, a seven-bedroom private island that remains one of the world’s most exclusive hideaways. It is the first exclusive-use island within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and it feels exactly as extraordinary as that sounds. Guests wake when they like, dine where they like, drift through the lagoon on their own timetable, and choose their days by intuition rather than itinerary.

Signature experiences include:

• The Ocean of Consciousness Spa, specialising in sound baths, vibration therapy, meditative journeys, crystal resonance and chakra balancing
• Snorkel with manta rays and whale sharks at Baathala and Hanifaru Bay
• Unscripted adventures aboard Voavah’s private yacht
• Beachfront meditations where time seems to dissolve entirely

Together, these three properties invite guests to experience something that feels increasingly rare: spaciousness, clarity, stillness. A feeling of coming home not to a place, but to oneself. Because at Four Seasons Resorts Maldives, true luxury isn’t measured by what surrounds you. It’s measured by what shifts within you when the world finally goes quiet.

New Delhi, Nov 25: The PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Direct Taxes Committee recently hosted a crucial interactive session on the taxation of charitable institutions and exempt entities, featuring Shri Debjyoti Das, Principal Chief Commissioner of Income Tax, as the Chief Guest. Shri Das delivered a comprehensive keynote address highlighting major reforms in the Indian income tax framework, specifically addressing longstanding challenges faced by charitable organizations under the current Income-tax Act, 1961, and the transformative promise of the upcoming Income-tax Act, 2025.

Shri Debjyoti Das, Principal Chief Commissioner of Income Tax, began by candidly acknowledging that the Income-tax Act, 1961, having evolved over more than six decades from its 1922 predecessor, had become increasingly complex and fragmented, particularly with regard to exemption provisions such as Section 12A. He pointed out that shifting provisos, scattered clauses, and repeated piecemeal amendments had created a web of procedural and interpretative difficulties, often leading to frustration for taxpayers, tax professionals, and officers alike. Notably, tax audit requirements were highlighted as a significant pain point due to their complexity, subjective certifications, and compliance costs.

The Principal Chief Commissioner of Income tax brought encouraging news about the enactment of the Income-tax Act, 2025, effective from April 1, 2026, which promises a simplified, cohesive, and user-friendly legal framework. He emphasized that the new Act consolidates and restructures provisions to improve logical flow and reduce the volume of sections and wording by nearly half, while retaining the substance and principles that ensure tax certainty. Shri Das affirmed that the simplification was a deliberate choice reflecting the government’s vision to move away from complicated colonial-era laws towards a modern, accessible statute that embodies clarity and ease of compliance. Further, Shri Das elaborated on the revamped registration and renewal regime for charitable trusts under Section 12A and Section 80G, transitioning from a once-and-for-all perpetual registration towards a system requiring registration every 5 or 10 years depending on the size of the entity. This change aims to improve oversight, update records, and prevent misuse while streamlining renewal processes with risk-based review focused on genuinely suspicious cases. He reassured attendees that efforts are underway to ease procedural hassles related to registration, and late filing of tax audit reports, reflecting the department’s commitment to balancing oversight with facilitation.

Mr. Mukul Bagla, Chair, Direct Taxes Committee, PHDCCI, provided an insightful overview of recent regulatory tightening affecting NGOs to enhance transparency and accountability. He highlighted digitization efforts such as mandatory filing of Form 10DD for donations under Section 80G and advocated technical improvements including auto-population of donor data in Form 26AS to ease return filing complications. Mr. Bagla remarked on the legislative reforms aligning corpus donations to normal donations under Section 11(5), curbing tax abuse potential. He also voiced stakeholders’ concerns about inconsistent timelines for filing Forms 10 and 9A, foreign travel expenditure exclusions under Section 11, and the expansive, resource-intensive scope of Forms 10B and 10BB certifications introduced recently- calling for practical adjustments to better match NGO realities and reduce litigation.

Ms. Pallavi Dinodia, Co-Chair, Direct Taxes Committee, PHDCCI, shared a personal reflection on her family’s historical contribution to India’s tax laws and the positive shift witnessed among charitable entities moving from a perpetual exemption mind set toward disciplined compliance and governance. She noted that these regulatory changes are fostering an ecosystem that supports India’s broad vision of development and formalization of the charitable sector.

Ms. Babeeta Sharma, Director of PHDCCI, celebrated the Chamber’s 120-year legacy as a steadfast promoter of Indian industry and trade. She lauded the chamber’s role in policy advocacy and fostering dialogue sectors such as the NGO and charitable sector. Ms. Sharma formally welcomed Shri Debjyoti Das, PCCIT underscoring his distinguished IRS career since 1990 with diverse national-level postings and reputed expertise, along with his broad intellectual and cultural interests, thereby setting the tone for an engaged and rounded discussion of exemption policies.

Accompanying Shri Das were senior Income Tax Department officials from the Exemptions division, including Mr. Shri Prakash Dubey, Principal Commissioner of Income Tax and Mr. Satyanarayan Takhar and Mr. Abhinav Prakash, Additional Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemp) who also contributed technical perspectives and underscored the department’s “trust but verify” approach to oversight-leveraging risk-based scrutiny while working to simplify compliance for genuine charitable institutions.

This interactive seminar underscored the ongoing transformation of India’s income tax regime for exempt entities, signalling significant improvements in clarity, process efficiency, and regulatory oversight poised to benefit taxpayers and the department alike as the country transitions to the Income-tax Act, 2025.

Visakhapatnam, Nov 25:  Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach and The Bheemili Resort Managed by Accor successfully led the hospitality and hosting for the 30th CII Partnership Summit 2025, held in Visakhapatnam from 14–15 November. The landmark international gathering drew ministers, global business leaders, senior diplomats, and delegates from 61 countries, igniting high-level dialogues, business engagements, and structured collaborations.

From high-capacity meal services to thoughtfully curated menu, the hotel demonstrated its proven capability to execute complex, large-format F&B programmes with precision, speed, and hospitality finesse. This reaffirmed the property’s position as a preferred venue for high-profile business, diplomatic, and government events in the region.

“This accomplishment is a reflection of our team’s dedication and readiness to deliver at a global standard. Hosting dignitaries and delegates from around the world reinforces our commitment to operational excellence and strengthens Visakhapatnam’s growing position as a destination for large-scale international events,” said Lakshmi Sridhar, General Manager, Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach & The Bheemili Resort Managed by Accor.

Hyderabad, Nov 25: FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO), Hyderabad Chapter, organised a unique and empowering session titled “Money Matters. Mindset Matters More,” featuring India’s leading financial educator and fin-fluencer, Rachana Ranade, at Hyatt Place, Banjara Hills.

One of India’s most influential voices in financial literacy, Rachana Ranade is widely respected for simplifying complex financial concepts for the masses. By breaking down financial jargon into relatable, easy-to-understand insights, she has made investing accessible to beginners and seasoned investors alike — including millions who are not fluent in English.

With a mission to democratise financial education, her content has reached millions through YouTube and other digital platforms. Her impact on India’s financial learning ecosystem has earned her a place in Forbes India’s Top 100 Digital Stars.

Separate the finance and gender. Women think that finance management is not their cup of tea. That is not correct. It doesn’t have any gender difference said Rachana Ranade

Warren Buffet started making long term vestments at the age of 92 years. Age is just a number. It doesn’t matter what is your age to invest money, she added

For learning, age is not the bar. Before you start your financial journey, be aware of fundamentals of finance management, she said. She spoke to the packed hall.

At the FLO Hyderabad session, she covered a broad spectrum of topics — personal finance, stock market investing, mutual funds, IPO evaluation, and practical strategies for building long-term wealth.

The theme resonated deeply with FLO’s objective of helping women rethink their relationship with money — emphasising not just financial tools, but the mindset that shapes investment behaviour, wealth creation, and financial confidence.

Delivering her welcome address, Prathibha Kunda, Chairperson, FLO Hyderabad, said the global economic landscape has positioned women as key drivers of financial decision-making.

She observed, “The world is waking up to a powerful truth: women are not just participants in the economy — they are becoming the largest economic force on the planet. When we change how women think about money, we unlock not just personal wealth but global economic potential.”

Highlighting the urgency of financial literacy, she added, “Only one in three adults globally is financially literate, with women disproportionately disadvantaged. Mindset matters more than ever. Financial education isn’t a luxury — it is a necessity. Our goal is to help women own their financial stories with confidence.”

Speaking about Rachana Ranade’s inspirational journey, Prathibha noted, “Rachana didn’t enter classrooms — she built one for an entire nation. She transformed finance from fear into freedom for over five million learners.”

FLO Hyderabad continues to strengthen its role as a catalyst for women’s empowerment. This year alone, it has conducted 23+ impactful programmesacross digital literacy, STEM, grassroots livelihood development, sales leadership, women directors’ training, and community outreach — collectively benefiting more than 3,700 women across the region.
