Miro Announces Asia Hub in Singapore to Accelerate Growth Across the Region and Bring AI Collaboration to New Markets

Business Wire India

Miro®, the AI Innovation Workspace for teams, today announced plans to expand its operations in Asia, supporting organisations across the region in their AI transformation journey. Miro is investing in people, resources, and infrastructure as it targets growth in key markets, including Singapore, India, South Korea, and other Southeast Asia countries.

 

As the global innovation centre of gravity shifts toward Asia – where R&D spending reached 45% of global investment in 2024 – the organisations leading this charge need tools and platforms built for the complexity and pace of modern innovation and collaboration. Miro’s AI-powered innovation workspace is uniquely positioned to support this moment. Miro gives organisations the shared context layer they need to move from insight to execution faster than ever before. For Asia’s most ambitious innovators, where speed-to-market and cross-border collaboration are existential priorities, Miro provides the link between human creativity and AI capability.

 

 

At the heart of Miro’s expansion strategy is a new Asia hub located in Singapore. This hub will serve both the Singapore domestic market and provide a launchpad into neighbouring countries. The move strengthens Miro’s ability to support its existing customers, reach new customers, and continue to build an ecosystem with regional partners, including AWS, Vsaas Global, GoPomelo, Altudo, and others.

 

 

“Singapore is a natural choice as a location to base our Asia operations,” said Sunil Pamnani, Head of Asia Sales at Miro. “This is a place where organisations, and government institutions alike understand the need for transformation – not just adoption. They value long-term thinking, disciplined execution, and technology that delivers real outcomes. That mindset is exactly what’s needed to reimagine how teams and AI work together.”

 

 

“The opportunity to grow our customer base across Asia is significant,” said Brigid Archibald, Head of JAPAC at Miro. “Our investment in Singapore is part of a lasting commitment to customers, partners, and our wider ecosystem across the region. Organisations are at a critical moment where they need to deliver on their AI investments and move from experimentation to integration. Miro is helping leaders to achieve this.”

 

 

Globally, Miro has 100M+ users and more than 250,000 customers. A significant number of these customers are based in countries across the region – and they are already using Miro and realising the benefits of embedding Miro into their workflows and critical operations. These include TCS Pace (operated by Tata Consultancy Services) and Frasers Property, which are using Miro to reduce time to market for product development lifecycle, improve the quality of ideas, and redefine their innovation processes.

 

 

“With Miro AI, we can use intelligent prompts to challenge assumptions, test ideas, and explore new perspectives,” said Subin Pillai, Product Manager and Studio Lead at TCS Pace. “Miro Sidekicks acts like any other team member, helping validate use cases, suggest improvements, and simulate real-world scenarios. I could prompt it to take on different personas, to challenge our assumptions, to offer perspectives that broke through our mental debt. Suddenly, we weren’t just facilitating a workshop. We were orchestrating a symphony of human and artificial intelligence. The impact is 50% faster innovation cycles with working prototypes in 90 minutes.”

 

 

“Miro has saved us time, reduced costs, and made innovation more accessible,” said Iris Tan, Senior Manager, Strategic Innovation at Frasers Property. “Our senior leaders and global participants now use it to structure ideas and drive strategic decisions faster than ever before. We’ve moved away from simply building spaces to truly understanding what our tenants and their customers need. Design thinking is the foundation of that shift, and Miro allows us to embed it across our entire organisation.”

Exclusively for Chartered Accountants, the card carries the CA India emblem and offers benefits aligned with their professional spending needs. This card forms a key component of AU Bank’s Chartered Accountants Programme, which combines tailored banking products with professional privileges.

Customers can seamlessly transition from basic credit cards to premium offerings, such as AU Small Finance Bank’s top-tier cards. This upgrade pathway provides enhanced rewards and superior value with no joining or annual fees.

To support instant liquidity needs, AU Bank enables eligible customers to convert their available credit limit into an instant, paperless personal loan with flexible repayment options, acting as an on-demand financial buffer during urgent requirements.

On the repayment front, the bank’s EMI conversion feature allows customers to convert high-value purchases into structured monthly instalments, making it easier to manage big-ticket expenses. A built-in EMI calculator further supports informed decision-making by helping customers model their repayment schedule before committing. As consumers increasingly manage financial tasks online, including essentials like credit card bill payment. These digital tools provide greater clarity and convenience. Additionally, customers can also access and manage their banking services, card controls, and transactions through their preferred mobile banking app.

All AU Bank credit cards comes with zero-liability protection on fraudulent transactions, instant card controls, and a comfortable interest-free period, reinforcing the bank’s commitment to security, transparency, and flexibility.

As India’s credit ecosystem continues to mature, AU Small Finance Bank reaffirmed its commitment to expanding access to responsible, technology-enabled credit solutions across urban and semi-urban markets, with a focus on first-generation credit users, young professionals, and digitally savvy consumers seeking seamless financial experiences.

Traditionally, many households relied on detergents and phenyls, solutions that fell short on cleaning as well as lasting freshness.

HyperLight Demonstrates Low-Power 1.6T-DR8 TFLN-based Reference Transceiver Assembled by TFC

Business Wire India

HyperLight Corporation (“HyperLight”) today announced a major milestone in low-power optical networking with the demonstration of a 1.6T-DR8 optical transceiver leveraging HyperLight’s TFLN Chiplet™ Platform.

 

The reference module was demonstrated with engineering and manufacturing support from Suzhou TFC Optical Communication Co., Ltd. (SZSE: 300394, or “TFC”). The reference design achieves 20W power consumption in a fully retimed 1.6T-DR8 module, representing approximately 20% lower module-level power compared to alternative technologies. The reduction is achieved through a simple drop-in transmitter implementation based on a single thin-film lithium niobate photonic integrated circuit (TFLN PIC).

 

 

The TFLN transmitter enables the module to operate using a single continuous-wave (CW) laser, compared to the two to four lasers typically required in conventional implementations. Additional energy savings are achieved through the ability to operate directly from the native low-swing electrical output of the DSP, enabled by the low drive voltage of TFLN modulators.

 

 

“TFLN is a key technology for future 400Gbps-per-lane optical systems,” said Mian Zhang, CEO of HyperLight. “What we are demonstrating today is that even at the current 200Gbps-per-lane generation, TFLN can already deliver massive power savings. At the scale of modern AI data centers, that translates into megawatts of potential energy reduction. Our work with TFC demonstrates how readily HyperLight’s technology can integrate into existing optical module ecosystems.”

 

 

HyperLight will demonstrate the module live at OFC 2026, taking place March 16–18 in Los Angeles, California.

 

 

About HyperLight

 

 

HyperLight delivers high-performance integrated photonics solutions based on thin-film lithium niobate technology. The company combines the electro-optic advantages of TFLN with scalable manufacturing, test, and integration to enable next-generation optical engines for AI data centers, telecom and metro networks, and emerging photonics markets.

SBC Medical Announces Opening of Brand Flagship “NEO Skin Clinic Ginza.”

Business Wire India

SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (Nasdaq: SBC) (“SBC Medical” or the “Company”), a Management Services Organization operating a wide range of franchise businesses across diverse medical fields, today announced that its specialized aesthetic brand, “NEO Skin Clinic,” will open its flagship location in Tokyo’s Ginza district, a globally recognized medical tourism hub and highly competitive district, on Saturday, March 28, 2026.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260312457783/en/

 

 

SBC Medical Announces Opening of Brand Flagship "NEO Skin Clinic Ginza."

SBC Medical Announces Opening of Brand Flagship “NEO Skin Clinic Ginza.”

 

The Ginza flagship, located in a prime area near GINZA SIX, will feature dedicated VIP rooms for executive clientele and the growing number of international patients, strengthening the brand’s global presence. Leveraging its robust network of 283 affiliated clinics (as of December 2025) and extensive clinical data, SBC Medical continues to advance its multi-branding strategy to meet evolving market needs.

 

Following the successful validation of the business model at the Ebisu clinic launched in April 2025, the new flagship in Ginza is expected to further diversify the Group’s revenue base and improve profitability through a high-value-added service model.

 

 

The aesthetic healthcare sector is undergoing rapid evolution, driven by the continuous development of new treatment devices and formulations, which is increasing consumer awareness and demand. Modern patients are increasingly seeking the latest technology, applying the same level of discernment to high-end cosmetics. To address these market dynamics, NEO Skin Clinic leverages the Company’s extensive global network and strong relationships with medical device manufacturers to maintain a premier lineup of treatments that are regularly updated. The brand offers a sustainable, accessible pricing structure aligned with international standards, including those in South Korea, to meet rising patient expectations for both quality and value.

 

 

Beyond advanced technology, NEO Skin Clinic emphasizes a proprietary treatment approach that combines scientific precision with objective data from the VISIA skin diagnostic system. To ensure technical excellence, the brand has appointed Dr. Nariaki Miyata, a leading authority on aesthetic dermatology in Japan, and Dr. Youn Seongjae, Representative Director of Leaders Dermatology Clinic in South Korea, as technical advisors. By integrating advanced clinical insights from both Japan and South Korea, SBC Medical has established a world-class training system for its physicians and staff.

 

 

As global interest in non-invasive treatments and quality of life continues to grow, SBC Medical remains committed to maintaining its domestic dominance and pursuing international expansion.

 

 

The Company plans to further expand its footprint into the Nagoya and Kobe areas by the end of 2026, aiming for sustainable growth and long-term enhancement of corporate value.

 

 

Message from Soichiro Morikawa, M.D., Director

 

 

I believe that the essence of aesthetic healthcare lies not merely in the ‘procedure’ itself, but in the precision of ‘diagnosis’ and ‘treatment’ that dictates the final outcome. Every customer is unique—skin condition, fat distribution, muscle movement, and the progression of aging vary from person to person. At NEO Skin Clinic Ginza, I place the highest priority on designing treatment strategies based on rigorous medical evidence, taking into account both the customer’s current state and future physiological changes. Whether using injectable therapies or advanced energy-based devices, achieving natural and sustainable results requires a deep understanding of each modality’s characteristics, applied at the optimal timing and in the right combination. My commitment is to provide aesthetic dermatology that moves beyond subjective intuition, focusing instead on evidence-based care to ensure long-term beauty and facial harmony.

L&T Technology Services Launches NVIDIA-Powered AI Lung Digital Twin Platform for Advanced Respiratory Diagnostics

Business Wire India

L&T Technology Services Limited (BSE: 540115, NSE: LTTS), a global leader in AI, Digital & R&D Consulting Services, has announced its next-generation, AI-powered digital twin platform for lung navigation, surgical planning and respiratory diagnostics.

“By combining LTTS’ engineering expertise in medical imaging and digital health platforms with the power of NVIDIA’s Physical AI infrastructure, we are enabling a new generation of AI-powered biological digital twins for precision medicine,” observed Amit Chadha, CEO & Managing Director, L&T Technology Services. “These platforms can transform how clinicians visualize lung anatomy, plan interventions and deliver precision care. The impact will be visible across the global healthcare ecosystem in the years ahead.”

 

David Niewolny, Head of Business Development for Healthcare and Medical Technology, NVIDIA, said, “Digital twins are emerging as a powerful new tool for precision medicine. By leveraging NVIDIA Physical AI infrastructure, Omniverse, MONAI and TensorRT, LTTS is transforming CT data into interactive lung digital twins that allow clinicians to visualize anatomy in 3D, simulate procedures and plan clinical interventions with greater confidence.”

 

With respiratory diseases such as lung cancer and COPD continuing to rise globally, AI-driven digital twin technologies are expected to accelerate the shift from traditional imaging interpretation toward predictive, simulation-driven and minimally invasive intervention planning, enabling more personalized and data-driven treatment pathways.

In simple terms, EVA helps members clearly see where their money is going in near real time and understand how everyday spending fits into their overall financial picture — all within a seamless, conversational experience.

 

Intelligent, Adaptive and Built on Trusted Data

 

Interactions with EVA evolve in real time based on how each member engages. The assistant tailors explanations, surfaces relevant insights, and prioritizes recommendations aligned with an individual’s credit and financial goals.

Grounded in Experian’s credit expertise, data, and consumer permissioned financial information, EVA delivers personalized guidance designed with privacy and security as core principles.

Through advancements in EVA’s adaptive financial guidance and the launch of Experian Insurance Marketplace app integrated with the ChatGPT platform, Experian continues meeting consumers wherever they are with personalized insights and relevant financial opportunities delivered through conversational experiences.

Under this partnership, the two companies will leverage Leju’s strengths in robotic embodiment, data, and use cases, combined with Robbyant’s expertise in embodied AI models, to cultivate a high-quality dataset of real-robot interactions. Meanwhile, they will join hands to conduct model training, optimization, iteration, and embodiment adaptation to continuously enhance the robot’s full-stack capabilities in perception, understanding, decision-making, execution, and learning. By focusing on industrial and commercial service applications, they also aim to build industry solutions and benchmark use cases, thereby accelerating the commercialization of embodied AI.

 

Zhu Xing, CEO of Robbyant, said: “The embodied AI industry is evolving from technical verification to real-world deployment. How to seamlessly integrate model capabilities, robotic embodiments, and practical use cases has become a key direction for industry development in the next stage. Through this partnership, we aim to advance the verification and application of related technologies in real-world scenarios and accelerate industrial progress.”

 

 

Previously, as a core data partner for Robbyant, Leju provided nearly 10,000 hours of high-quality, multimodal real-robot data for Robbyant’s LingBot-VLA model. LingBot-VLA, a vision-language-action (VLA) model, is designed to serve as a “universal brain” for real-world robotics, helping to reduce post-training costs and accelerate the path to scalable deployment. The model has been successfully adapted to robots from leading manufacturers, demonstrating strong cross-morphology transfer capabilities across diverse robot platforms.

 

 

In January, Robbyant released a suite of embodied AI models. Alongside LingBot-VLA, the suite includes

 

 

  • LingBot-Depth, a high-precision spatial perception model designed to enhance robots’ depth sensing and 3D environmental understanding capabilities in complex real-world environments,
  • LingBot-World, a world model that achieves industry-leading performance in video quality, dynamic fidelity, long-term consistency, and interactivity,
  • LingBot-VA, an innovative model enabling thinking through autoregressive video prediction.

Triton Partners Successfully Closes Fund 6 at €5.5 Billion Target

Business Wire India

Triton Partners today announces the successful close of its sixth flagship mid-market fund (“T6” or “the Fund”) on target at €5.5 billion, the largest fund to date for Triton. The Fund has raised capital from new and existing investors globally, underscoring the continued confidence of Limited Partners in Triton’s European mid-market strategy and the Firm’s ability to build better businesses.

 

Triton’s Mid-Market buyout (TMM) strategy focuses on its core sectors of industrial technology, business services and healthcare. As a responsible owner of choice, T6 will invest where its market and investment insights provide an edge, positioning the firm to capitalise on attractive opportunities, supported by the Accelerator Unit, Europe’s largest value creation team.

 

T6 seeks to maintain the strong performance of previous funds, all having achieved top quartile returns. Reflecting this consistent track record, Triton was recently named as one of three European managers in the HEC global universe of top twenty performing private equity firms.1

 

Triton continues to see opportunities to drive transformational change and deliver growth in European businesses. T6 has to date invested €900 million of capital across three platform investments – Hanab, Keenfinity and MacGregor – corporate carve outs in Triton’s core sectors.

 

Peder Prahl, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Triton Partners, comments:

 

“The close of T6 begins another important chapter for our TMM strategy and for Triton as a firm. With our focus on European mid-market services, industrial tech and healthcare businesses, we will continue to proactively source attractive investment opportunities where we can build and grow market leading businesses. We will remain disciplined as we continue to invest T6.

 

“We are grateful for the confidence our investors have shown in our mid-market strategy and team. We are well positioned to continue to invest with and capture the long-term structural growth tailwinds we see in Europe and across the globe. In an evolving private equity market that again prioritises investment returns and alpha generation capabilities, we are pleased with investors’ confidence in us and T6, as well as our adjacent Lower Mid-Market Private Equity (TSM) and Opportunistic Credit (TDO) strategies.”
