Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: GDYN) (“Grid Dynamics”), a premier AI transformation partner for the Fortune 1000, today announced an AI-native modernization service offering on Microsoft Azure, powered by its GAIN Platform for SDLC. The offering targets large enterprise clients running mission-critical, high-transaction-volume legacy environments.

Microsoft reported that Azure revenue surpassed $75 billion in 2025, up 34% year-over-year, reflecting strong and accelerating enterprise migration demand. Grid Dynamics, a Microsoft Azure specialized partner with five advanced specializations, including Infra and Database Migration, is built to capture this opportunity. Through the Azure Accelerate program, Grid Dynamics clients benefit from free Microsoft deployment assistance, Azure credits, partner funding, and funded migration assessments, removing the financial and technical barriers that typically slow large-scale modernization efforts.

 

 

At the core of the offering is the GAIN Platform for SDLC: Grid Dynamics’ proprietary combination of expert human talent, AI-enabled processes and tooling, built for the scale and complexity of Fortune 1000 enterprises. This platform has been internally benchmarked to accelerate project delivery by over 30% and enables outcome-based pricing aligned directly to performance. Applied to Azure legacy modernization, it compresses migration timelines and ties Grid Dynamics pricing to outcomes, which can lead to higher delivery margins.

 

 

Grid Dynamics extends its AI delivery model to Azure, drawing on extensive expertise in application migration for Fortune 1000 companies. The GAIN Platform for SDLC includes GenAI-powered data migration automation that converts legacy SQL, pipeline orchestration, and data schemas from platforms including Teradata, Informatica, and Oracle directly to Azure-native equivalents. This reduces the manual effort that typically drives multi-year timelines and cost overruns on enterprise modernization programs.

 

 

“The introduction of our GAIN Platform for SDLC on Microsoft Azure is a pivotal moment for enterprises looking to shed technical debt and achieve cloud-native agility. By leveraging our proven AI modernization frameworks with Azure’s infrastructure, we are enabling mission-critical systems to not just migrate, but to fundamentally transform and modernize, unlocking massive innovation potential while driving down legacy costs,” said Rahul Bindlish, SVP Global Partnerships and Marketing at Grid Dynamics.

Dubai Reinforces Role as Global Growth Platform for Indian Businesses With 3,995 New Companies Joining Dubai Chamber of Commerce in Q1 2026

Business Wire India

Dubai Chamber of Commerce, one of the three chambers operating under Dubai Chambers, has announced that 3,995 new Indian companies joined the chamber during Q1 2026, underlining the deepening economic and business ties between India and Dubai amid a complex global business environment.

 

The total number of Indian companies registered as active members of Dubai Chamber of Commerce reached 84,088 by the end of March 2026, reinforcing India’s position as the largest foreign business community in Dubai. The continued growth reflects the increasing confidence of Indian businesses in Dubai as a trusted hub for business continuity, international expansion, and long-term growth.

 

H.E. Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, commented: “In an increasingly complex global economy, companies are placing greater value on markets that provide clarity, reliability, and the ability to keep enterprise moving. The continued growth of Indian businesses underlines the trust they place in Dubai as a platform for long-term success. The emirate provides the infrastructure, agility, and connectivity companies need to grow with confidence, even as global conditions continue to evolve.”

 

“The Dubai-India partnership is built on a history of strong cultural ties and shared ambition. Looking ahead, Dubai Chambers will continue working to strengthen this relationship, support Indian companies and investors, and ensure they remain fully equipped to expand through Dubai. For Indian businesses, Dubai’s value is not only that it opens doors to opportunity. It keeps those doors open when it matters most.”

 

Dr. Joy Alukkas, Chairman and Managing Director of Joyalukkas Group, stated: “For 39 years, the UAE has been the launchpad for our global ambitions. What I have come to deeply appreciate is the visionary leadership. Through every crisis and shift in the global landscape, the UAE government has stood shoulder to shoulder with the business community, offering continuity, security, clarity, and unwavering support. It is this partnership that has shaped my confidence and fuelled my hunger to grow. What we continue to witness on the ground is a nation moving forward with confidence, stability, and uninterrupted momentum. Families continue to live, thrive, and feel safe here, and the spirit of commerce remains undiminished. Peak occasions like Akshaya Tritiya saw jewellery businesses flourish – a testament to Dubai’s ability to absorb uncertainty and convert it into opportunity.

 

The foundation of this dynamic nation is stability, security, world-class infrastructure, forward-looking regulation, and leadership that consistently anticipates the future. Our faith in this country and in the road ahead remains as firm and unwavering as ever.”

 

Siddharth Balachandran, Chairman of Indian Business and Professional Council, said: “Dubai is a rare ‘constant’ in this ever changing, and often chaotic, world. This is the first cog in the symbolic economic wheel that macro-economic fundamental value investors like me look for. I have conviction in the forward-looking policies of Dubai, and the UAE, that is based on a bottom-up approach where the Government has its ear to the ground constantly. The process of ongoing dialogue is one of the major facets of the Dubai economic model that has resulted in a strengthening of my investment valuation by almost 15%. Dubai believes in holistic sustained success, and I believe in Dubai!”

 

Nilesh Ved, Chairman of AppCorp Holding and Owner of Apparel Group, commented: “For Indian businesses operating globally, stability and agility matter as much as opportunity and Dubai continues to lead on both fronts. The UAE leadership’s forward-looking vision, strong banking ecosystem, business-friendly policies, and continued support for the private sector have created a highly trusted environment for growth and expansion.”

 

Ved added: “Dubai today is far more than a regional hub; it is one of the world’s leading global cities, attracting investment, innovation, startups, and talent from across the world. The continued normal functioning of businesses, malls, and Emirates Airlines global operations during this period further demonstrates the resilience, efficiency, and confidence that define Dubai’s operating environment. For Indian companies, it offers the connectivity, stability, and momentum needed to scale regionally and globally.”

 

Dubai’s business environment is supported by clear regulation, advanced infrastructure, transparent communication, and strong logistics capabilities that help businesses stay focused on growth. The AED 1 billion package of economic incentives announced by the Government of Dubai in March further helped ease financial pressures and enhance liquidity.

 

In parallel, Dubai’s logistics ecosystem has also supported the continued movement of goods through strong air cargo capabilities, alternative routes via Khorfakkan and Fujairah, and a temporary green corridor between Dubai and Oman. Additionally, Dubai International Chamber continues to support Indian companies through its offices in Mumbai and Bengaluru, helping them establish and grow in Dubai.

 

Blenders Pride Packaged Drinking Water Introduces ‘Reserved Experiences’: Redefining Flavour Through Multi-Sensory Discovery

Business Wire India

Blenders Pride Packaged Drinking Water unveils ‘Blenders Pride Reserved Experiences’, a new cultural platform designed to reimagine how flavour is experienced – across the senses.

 

At a time when consumers are gravitating towards more meaningful and elevated experiences – ones that reflect their own evolving tastes and choices, ‘Blenders Pride Reserved Experiences’ responds to this shift by transforming flavour into something more expressive.

 

Rooted in the idea of ‘Reserved in Every Sense’, the platform presents flavour as a multi-dimensional journey – one that can be seen, heard, felt and experienced, not just tasted.

 

Curated with Chef Kunal Kapur, the experience brought this vision to life through an intimate, exclusive showcase. At the heart of the evening was a live gastro-performance, where flavour was orchestrated alongside music in real time, blending texture, aroma, and rhythm into a seamless sensory expression.

 

What set the experience apart was its interpretation of flavour beyond the palate — through a series of immersive spaces, each interpreting flavour through a distinct lens, from dynamic visual environments and aroma-led installations to tactile explorations and a curated tasting experience.

 

Envisioned as an evolving cultural platform, Blenders Pride Reserved Experiences will ow unfold in Jaipur and Kolkata, alongside 10+ activations in key markets — designed to build a deeper engagement and introduce consumers to a more immersive way of experiencing flavour.

 

Speaking on the experience, Chef Kunal Kapur said, “Flavour, in its truest form, is layered and evolving. With Reserved Experiences, we’ve interpreted flavour beyond the plate — bringing it to life through different forms, so people can engage with it in a far more immersive and unexpected way.”

 

Debasree Dasgupta, CMO, Pernod Ricard India, added, “Consumers today are seeking more intentional and elevated experiences, ones that go beyond functional and feel truly distinctive. With Blenders Pride Reserved Experiences, we are building a cultural platform that responds to this shift, translating the depth and complexity of flavour into immersive, multi-sensory expressions. It’s a natural extension of how our audiences want to engage today, where discovery is richer, engaging, and reserved in every sense.”

 

With Blenders Pride Reserved Experiences, the brand continues to build a distinctive cultural narrative, one that elevates flavour into a refined, multi-sensory exploration designed for a new generation of discerning consumers.

Abbott Launches Ensure® Strength Pro in India to Support Healthy Ageing

Business Wire India

  • Ensure® Strength Pro has vital nutrients to support seven important areas of health[i]
  • With 31 nutrients including 30 grams of highquality protein, it helps address common nutritional inadequacies for everyday well-being[ii]

 

Abbott, the global healthcare company, today announced the launch of Ensure® Strength Pro, a scientifically designed blend of nutrients to support strength and overall wellbeing by helping nourish seven key aspects of the body – muscles, bones, heart, blood cells, immune system, metabolism and nervous system.

 

For ageing adults, the body naturally undergoes changes that can influence strength, stamina, metabolism, and immunity.[iii] Our bodies rely on many things working together to help us stay active, energetic and independent.[iv] Research shows that between the ages of 40 and 80 years, gradual changes in bone density, metabolism and immune function are seen alongside up to 33 percent loss of muscle mass in adults.[v],[vi]  India continues to face widespread nutritional gaps, with diets across states at times lacking 11 of 25 essential nutrients predominantly arising due to lack of dietary diversity.[vii],[viii] Understanding how the body evolves with age and the nutrient gaps, Ensure® Strength Pro provides nutrients that nourish seven[i] key areas of health, helping people feel stronger.

 

“Feeling strong as we age isn’t driven by a single element, it’s the result of several functions in the body supporting one another,” says Anirban Basu, general manager for Abbott’s nutrition business in India. “Our scientifically formulated Ensure® Strength Pro, helps adults meet their evolving nutritional needs[ix], especially in the context of common nutrient inadequacies, so they can stay active, engaged, and confident as they age.”

 

Scientifically designed, Ensure® Strength Pro delivers 31 nutrients including 30 grams of highquality protein[ii]. to help meet the evolving nutritional needs of adults. It has vital nutrients to support bones, heart, blood cells, immune system, metabolic system and nervous system.

 

Dr. Priti Thakor, medical and scientific director for Abbott’s nutrition business in India, explains: “As we age, nutrition plays a much bigger role than many people realize. What the body needs changes over time, and a balanced approach to nutrition can help support overall strength and resilience, beyond just muscle health.”

 

Along with high quality and quantity of proteins, the formulation is enriched with calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, phosphorus, and zinc to help maintain normal bones; has lower^ fat and sugar combined with high protein, L-carnitine & micronutrients like vitamin B complex, vitamin D, iron aid nutrient utilization and energy metabolism; iodine and selenium that support normal thyroid function; and 10 nutrients that help maintain the normal immune system, including vitamins A, C, D, B6 & B12 with zinc, iron, folate, copper, and selenium.

 

The launch is anchored in Abbott’s “Power of 7” campaign, which underscores that everyday strength is sustained by the collective nourishment of seven key areas of health. Through scienceled communication, expert engagement, and consumer education, Abbott aims to encourage proactive nutrition choices that support stronger bodies, greater resilience, and better quality of life.

Axelspace Announces Launch of Seven GRUS-3 Earth Observation Microsatellites, No Earlier Than July 2026

Business Wire India

Axelspace Corporation, a leading developer and operator of microsatellites dedicated to realizing its vision of “Space within Your Reach,” announced today that GRUS-3, a set of seven next-generation Earth observation microsatellites, is scheduled to be launched no earlier than July 2026.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260519449959/en/

The seven GRUS-3 microsatellites will launch aboard the Transporter-17 rideshare mission via Exolaunch, a global leader in launch mission management, satellite integration, and deployment services, from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA.

 

We currently operate five optical Earth observation microsatellites, GRUS-1, under our Earth observation data service, AxelGlobe. With the launch of its successor, GRUS-3, it will expand its satellite constellation to more than 10 satellites.

 

 

Enabling Wide-Area, High-Frequency Observation

 

 

GRUS-3 will capture images of the Earth’s surface at the same location once per day for locations north of 25 degrees latitude from an orbit at an altitude of 585 km. It features a spatial resolution (GSD) of 2.2 meters, with each satellite having an effective swath of 28.3 km and a maximum capture length of 1,356km. A combined daily capture capacity is 2.3 million km² across seven satellites.

 

 

By enabling wide-area, high-frequency observation, GRUS-3 allows for more rapid and continuous monitoring of changes on the Earth’s surface.

 

 

Expanding the Applications of Earth Observation Data

 

 

GRUS-3 is newly equipped with the “coastal blue” spectral band, which is effective for capturing information beneath the water surface. In addition to acquiring true color imagery and data for analyzing vegetation health, as with GRUS-1, GRUS-3 can also observe shallow coastal features such as seabed topography and seagrass beds.

 

 

By combining the enhanced observation frequency and performance of GRUS-3 with our satellite attitude control technology—enabling tasking (on-demand imaging of designated areas)—we will meet growing demand across a wide range of fields, environment and security, in addition to precision agriculture, forest monitoring, and map creation.

CTV Advertising Growth Accelerates as Platforms Compete for Connected Households

 

 

The shift comes as media companies, streamers, retailers and technology giants race to secure premium positioning in connected households. Amazon is leveraging Prime Video and retail media integration to expand its TV advertising footprint, while Netflix continues to scale its advertising business globally through its ad-supported tier. Google remains dominant through YouTube’s massive connected TV reach and broader advertising infrastructure.

 

 

Omdia expects several trends to accelerate the transformation of television advertising over the next five years:

 

 

  • Expansion of ad-supported streaming services
  • Convergence of retail media and television advertising
  • Growth in programmatic and targeted TV advertising
  • Increasing importance of TV operating systems and smart TV ecosystems
  • Greater competition for consumer attention and platform ownership

 

 

Omdia also revealed that the European TV operating system landscape is shifting rapidly. According to the research firm, VIDAA is becoming Europe’s third-largest TV operating system this year after Android TV and Tizen, overtaking several established competitors as manufacturers seek greater ownership of the smart TV experience.

 

TV Operating Systems Evolve into Strategic Commerce Gateways

 

 

“The battle for the living room is no longer only about streaming content,” said Maria Rua Aguete, Head of Media & Entertainment at Omdia. “It is increasingly about controlling the platform, the advertising layer, the operating system, the data and ultimately the consumer relationship.”

 

 

Rua Aguete noted that television is becoming one of the most strategic gateways for digital advertising, retail media and commerce integration, with tech companies increasingly competing to control the TV interface itself.

 

 

“CTV companies are at risk of losing incredibly valued ground to these tech giants and many cannot afford to do so as the hardware business becomes increasingly unprofitable,” added David Tett, Principal Analyst at Omdia. “Strategies are needed to fight for their own advertising revenues in the new-look landscape and avoid ceding too much ground to players such as Google and Amazon.”

 

 

The findings reinforce how television, commerce and digital advertising are converging into a single ecosystem and why the connected TV environment is becoming one of the most strategically valuable positions in media.
