Mixpanel Introduces Mixpanel AI, Delivering Always-On Product Intelligence

Business Wire India

Mixpanel, a global leader in product intelligence and analytics, today introduced Mixpanel AI — the always-on product intelligence system that helps teams ship faster and smarter by understanding how people use their products and what to do next.

 

Unlike query-based analytics assistants, Mixpanel AI monitors your product continuously and surfaces insights and issues before teams think to ask, combining specialized AI agents, a business-aware Context Engine, and native integrations with the tools teams already use.

 

 

Built on 17 years of product analytics infrastructure and trusted by more than 29,000 customers, Mixpanel AI turns product data into proactive, explainable intelligence that teams can act on — with the business context to make every answer relevant and the verified data foundation to make every answer trustworthy.

 

 

“At Mixpanel we’re building autonomous product intelligence — always on to match the continuous pace of shipping today, and intelligent because it understands the context of your business, not just your data,” said Anant Gupta, Chief Technology Officer at Mixpanel. “This is what separates Mixpanel AI from an LLM on top of a database. Mixpanel has spent over a decade working alongside tens of thousands of product teams, deeply understanding what great product analytics looks like. We leveraged that experience to custom build Mixpanel AI for product decision-making in the AI era.”

 

 

Product Intelligence Across Every Workflow

 

 

Mixpanel AI is organized around three pillars: agents that understand your business context, capabilities that move teams from diagnosis to action, and flexible access across the tools teams already use.

 

 

Agents That Understand Your Product and Business Context

 

 

At the center of Mixpanel AI is Mixpanel Agent, an always-on personal product analyst that understands your business and your goals. Behind the scenes, Mixpanel Agent coordinates a team of specialized sub-agents, each with deep expertise:

 

 

  • Onboarding Agent: Drives implementation by reading a codebase and suggesting which events to track, automatically updating tracking schemas when code changes ship.
  • Dashboard Agent: Generates shareable, exec-ready multi-chart dashboards from natural language prompts, grounded in verified data.
  • Experiment Agent: Designs experiments correctly from the start — setup, populations, and controls — and provides instant analysis of the results.
  • Root Cause Analysis Agent: Automatically finds the behavioral root cause of a change and makes a recommendation for what to do next.
  • KPI Monitoring Agent: Always-on monitoring, analysis, and recommendations.

 

 

AI That Knows Your Business and Gets Smarter Over Time

 

Powering all of these agents is the Context Engine — an intelligence layer that understands each customer’s business goals, team structure, and product context. Where most AI tools treat every query as stateless, the Context Engine ensures every answer is personalized to the customer’s own data and gets smarter over time as it learns more about the business.

 

 

Verified Modegives administrators control over which events and properties AI can query. This adds a governance layer that ensures AI output is grounded in data the team has approved.

 

 

From “What’s Happening” to “What to Do About It”

 

 

Mixpanel AI not only identifies what happened but also why it happened and what to do next. For example, when a signup funnel drops overnight, the Root Cause Analysis Agent automatically identifies which user segment is affected and what behavior changed, then suggests an experiment to test a fix, all in a single workflow. No context-switching, no manual segmentation, no statistical modeling required.

 

 

Works Where Your Team Works

 

 

Mixpanel AI brings the power and capabilities of Mixpanel to teams right within the environment where they already work:

 

 

  • Inside Mixpanel: Mixpanel Agent provides a conversational interface inside Mixpanel for asking questions, generating reports, and getting recommendations in plain language.
  • OutsideMixpanel: Mixpanel AI is the first product intelligence system built to work natively inside the AI tools developers and product managers already use — including Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Slack. Teams can ask questions about user behavior, pull live product data, and act on recommendations without leaving the tools where decisions are already being made.

 

 

Early Customer Response

 

“Early users have said Mixpanel AI is easy to get started with, and once you’re in, it doesn’t just give you numbers, it explains what they mean and why,” said Gupta. “Engineers, product managers, and analysts alike are getting answers they used to spend hours tracking down.”

 

 

Availability

 

 

Mixpanel AI is generally available and will be enabled for all Mixpanel customers on a rolling basis through June 2026. For more information about Mixpanel AI, visit mixpanel.com/ai.

Lenovo Enables One-Week Deployment of Production-Ready Agentic AI to Transform Enterprise Workflows

Business Wire India

  • The Lenovo AI Library enables rapid deployment of prebuilt, industry-specific AI agents and use cases, aligned to enterprise workflows
  • Delivered as part of Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage™, enabling secure, governed AI deployment across hybrid environments
  • Independently validated results show 30% productivity gains and up to 120 hours saved per employee annually

 

Lenovo is enabling enterprises to deploy production-ready, agentic AI solutions in as little as one week1, eliminating the long development cycles that typically delay AI from reaching production, while maintaining enterprise-grade security, governance, and control.

 

This is not theoretical, independent analysis from Signal65 confirms these results in real-world deployments. Lenovo’s Knowledge Super Agent reduced time spent on knowledge-related tasks by 30%, saving up to 120 hours per employee annually. In multiple deployments, organizations reached production up to 24× faster than with custom-built approaches, demonstrating how faster, secure deployment translates directly into faster business outcomes. These results reflect faster deployment and more efficient AI utilization, where each interaction delivers measurable business value.

 

 

Delivered through the Lenovo AI Library as part of Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage™, this approach allows organizations to move directly from pilot to operational impact using prebuilt, production-ready AIagents derived from hundreds of real-world deployments.

 

 

“AI creates value in production, not in pilots,” said Linda Yao, Vice President, Hybrid Cloud and AI Solutions, Lenovo. “The challenge for most organizations isn’t access to AI. It’s the time, cost, and complexity of getting it into production. By starting from proven, production-ready AI agents rather than building from scratch, enterprises can accelerate deployment, reduce complexity, and maximize the business value of every AI interaction while maintaining control across hybrid environments.”

 

 

Organizations are already applying this approach to drive measurable results across industries, demonstrating how AI moves from isolated pilots to repeatable, production-scale impact. Yili Group is improving supply chain visibility and accelerating customer insight generation, enabling faster, data-driven decision-making across its operations. Bikal is applying agentic AI in healthcare to reduce case assessment time by up to 98%.

 

 

These are not one-off implementations. Each use case is built on proven AI use cases within the Lenovo AI Library, enabling organizations to replicate outcomes across similar workflows, scale deployment across business units, and continuously improve performance over time. This shift, from bespoke builds to repeatable deployment, fundamentally changes how enterprises realize value from AI.

 

 

The Lenovo AI Library includes production-ready AI agents and use cases for core enterprise workflows across manufacturing, retail, and healthcare, including predictive maintenance, quality inspection, customer engagement, and operational optimization. Each is built from proven implementations, enabling repeatable deployment across similar environments rather than one-off projects.

 

 

What sets this approach apart is how value is sustained beyond initial deployment. Lenovo supports the full lifecycle of enterprise AI, from advisory and implementation through adoption and managed services, ensuring AI remains relevant, governed, and optimized at scale. Within Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage™, platforms such as the Lenovo xIQ Agent Platform enable organizations to continuously improve performance, control costs, and maximize return on AI investments over time.

 

 

Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage™ provides the foundation for deploying and scaling AI across private and public environments, enabling organizations to run AI where it delivers the best performance, cost efficiency, and data control. Within this framework, the Lenovo AI Library accelerates time to results, improves the efficiency of AI operations, and increases the business value generated from each deployment.

 

 

As enterprises look to turn AI investment into competitive advantage, the Lenovo AI Library offers a practical path forward: one that starts with proven, industry-specific use cases, delivers measurable outcomes, and scales with the needs of the business.

Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation Grants and Awards 2026

Mumbai, May 12: Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation (NSF) and Salaam Mumbai Foundation (SMF) jointly organised the Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation Grants and Awards 2026 ceremony on 12th May 2026 at Yashwantrao Chavan Centre, Runanubandha Hall, Mumbai. On this occasion, 4 NGO Grantees and 6 individuals from different states in India were felicitated by Dr. Rita Parvade, Assistant Director, Directorate of Health Services, Govt. of Maharashtra. To  strengthen the Tobacco Free Schools Programme, Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation and Salaam Mumbai Foundation annually felicitate individuals who have made significant contributions in creating a tobacco-free and healthy environment at educational institutions as well as village and community levels.

These awardees contribute to the effective implementation and dissemination of the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) and Tobacco Free Educational Institution (ToFEI) guidelines under the National Tobacco Control Programme (NTCP) of GoI. All these awardees are agents of change in the society, creating awareness at the grassroots among educational institutions and communities.

Founded by Mr. Narotam Sekhsaria in 2002, the Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation (NSF) supports initiatives towards a holistic change in society through the fields of Health, Education and Livelihood as focus areas. The Foundation has three main focus areas within the health domain i.e. cancer care, tobacco control, and palliative care. It has partnered with the Directorate of Health Services, Government of Maharashtra for providing technical support to tobacco cessation centres in 10 districts of the state.

Since 2008, Salaam Mumbai Foundation (SMF) in collaboration with the Departments of Education and Health, has been effectively implementing the Tobacco Free and Healthy Schools Initiative in Maharashtra as well as at the national level.

As part of its commitment to cancer prevention, NSF instituted the NGO Grants and Awards in 2009-2010 to support and encourage grassroots initiatives in tobacco control. It has been offering grants to NGOs and awarding individuals for their outstanding work in the area of tobacco control. NGOs and individuals involved in tobacco control from different parts of the country are selected through a rigorous assessment process in coordination with Salaam Mumbai Foundation. Till date, the Foundation has felicitated 60 individuals and offered grants to 39 NGOs across 13 states in India. Under this initiative, more than 5500 schools have been declared as tobacco-free, 15,62,059 villagers have been sensitised on the harms of tobacco through awareness sessions to support the efforts of the tobacco-free school programme, 2,47,540 stakeholders like panchayat members, police, education officers and others were trained. Around 1,81,797 teachers have been trained to make their schools tobacco-free.

Overall, the NSF Grants and Awards have had a huge impact on the recipients of the awards and have built their capacities to take up leadership roles for tobacco control in their respective contexts as revealed by the data. This in turn has translated into positive changes at village, school and individual levels.

This year, 4 NGOs and 6 individuals have been selected for the grants and awards respectively.  

Mr. Manish Joshi, Director & CEO – Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation commented “As India continues to advance as a global leader in public health, the Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation remain deeply committed to supporting national initiatives designed to curb the tobacco epidemic. As per reports over 1.35 million lives are lost annually to tobacco-related diseases, it is imperative that both the public and private sectors work together. We strongly support the government’s policy intervention like the COTPA 2003, ToFEI guidelines. Also, we welcome the government’s move on expansion of Tobacco Cessation Centers in districts and all health facilities. The Foundation is proud to advocate for a healthier India’s youth and workforce. We are willing to partner more with the state government on Tobacco Cessation.”

Ms. Rajashree Kadam, Trustee – Salaam Mumbai Foundation shared, “We are grateful to the NGOs and individuals who continue to work tirelessly at the grassroots to protect children and communities from the harmful effects of tobacco addiction. Through the Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation Grants and Awards, we are not only recognising their efforts but also strengthening the larger tobacco control ecosystem by building the capacities of schools, teachers, community stakeholders, and local leaders. These partnerships are critical in helping us expand and sustain a strong tobacco control repertoire across districts and communities. The dedication of these organisations plays a vital role in creating healthier, tobacco-free environments for young people to thrive.” 

While the award encourages the individuals to continue the good work, the NGO grants focus on working towards the implementation of a Tobacco-Free school programme in their respective Districts. The NGOs develop innovative strategies for tobacco control and gradually, position themselves as catalysts for changing social attitudes towards the use of tobacco. The school teachers, local NGOs and local activists for change reach out to a larger number of people and sustain the programme at school and community level as they work at the grassroots.

Business Wire India

AU Small Finance Bank has outlined key features across its credit card portfolio, with a focus on digital payments, contactless transactions, card controls, rewards management, and transparent credit card interest rates.

The bank’s credit card range includes multiple variants designed for different spending categories, including everyday transactions, travel, dining, and lifestyle-led spends. These products are designed to address the diverse customer life-stages from first-time credit users and Gen Z / young salaried professionals to digitally savvy customers and affluent achievers. Overall, the portfolio is structured to cater to varied customer requirements rather than a single standard product.

Contactless and Digital Payment Capabilities

AU SFB Credit Cards support contactless payments at NFC-enabled POS terminals. Transactions up to Rs. 5,000 can be completed without PIN authentication, while transactions above this threshold require PIN entry in accordance with payment network guidelines applicable across India.

The Credit Cards are also compatible with digital payment platforms, including Google Pay and Samsung Pay, enabling tokenised mobile-based transactions at supported merchants. Under tokenisation, card details are replaced with a device-specific token during payment processing.

Contactless services can be activated through the AU 0101 mobile banking application or internet banking.

AU Small Finance Bank provides card management features through its AU 0101 mobile banking application. Customers can access transaction history, modify spending limits, manage card usage settings, and block or unblock cards through the app interface.

The platform also enables users to manage contactless payment settings without requiring branch visits or assisted service requests.

Credit Card EMI Offers

AU SFB Credit Cards offers simple EMI options across all retail credit cards for transactions above Rs. 2000/- with multiple tenure options ranging from 3 to 24 months, at very affordable rates.

Recently made live EMI on UPI option allows customers to avail EMI during QR scans for UPI payments, available at PSPs like Google Pay, PhonePe, BHIM, and Kiwi.

EMI becomes part of MAD, and TAD is effectively changed as per the EMI conversion.

Rewards and Redemption

AU SFB Credit Cards offer reward points on eligible spends, with earning structures varying by card type. Reward redemption options include statement balance adjustments, merchandise catalogues, and partner-linked offers.

Fraud Protection Provisions

The bank provides Card Liability Coverage for unauthorised contactless transactions, subject to applicable terms and conditions. Coverage is available where the card has remained active within the preceding 180 days and the issue is reported with card blocking completed within 7 days of detection.

Application Process

Credit card applications are available through the AU Small Finance Bank website and AU 0101 mobile banking app. Existing customers may complete the application journey digitally, subject to eligibility and documentation requirements.

NetApp Collaborates with Red Hat to Help Advance Data Protection and Scale for Red Hat OpenShift Deployments

Business Wire India

NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced new NetApp data management capabilities optimized for Red Hat OpenShift that enable advanced levels of resilience and scale for virtualized environments, on-premises and in the cloud. The updates improve the speed and predictability of backup, recovery, and day-to-day operations so customers can migrate, scale, and manage virtual machine (VM) and container environments to enable innovation and agility with greater confidence.

 

According to The state of virtualization report from Red Hat, 90 percent of organizations agree that virtualization supports innovation. Combined with the report’s finding that 71 percent of organizations have over half of their IT infrastructure virtualized, enterprises are expanding their virtualized environments to help them manage the increasing volumes of data that fuel the AI-era. As Red Hat OpenShift virtualized environments grow, backup methods that rely on scanning full VM disks can lead to longer backup windows, unpredictable recovery timelines, and increased operational risk. When migrating to and scaling Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, enterprises need predictable and efficient backup and recovery with block-level change tracking to help them meet backup and recovery windows and avoid overspending on storage as environments scale. Furthermore, many IT organizations are seeking simplified disaster recovery at scale and flexible deployment options.

 

 

“When IT teams are faced with slow scanning and backup processes, they’re unable to meet recovery point and recovery time objectives,” said Dallas Olson, Chief Commercial Officer at NetApp. “NetApp’s latest innovations with Red Hat enable predictable backup and recovery behavior even as the VM environment grows. Customers can now migrate, operate, and protect large‑scale VM and container environments on Red Hat OpenShift with greater speed, predictability, and operational confidence.”

 

 

The NetApp and Red Hat collaboration provides enhanced hybrid and multicloud consistency, enabling customers to run and move applications and data across on‑premises and public cloud environments. Together, NetApp and Red Hat seek to deliver a mature, enterprise-ready Kubernetes stack. This collaboration continues with new capabilities that help customers build more resilient and scalable virtualized environments, including:

 

 

  • NetApp Backup and Recovery for Red Hat OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization:NetApp Backup and Recovery is a simple, secure, and cost-effective data protection service for OpenShift applications on NetApp ONTAP® storage. It accelerates backups and restores with incremental-forever backups providing Change Block Tracking (CBT), storage efficiency preservation, and compute offload. These features avoid data rehydration during backups and reduce compute overhead for backup operations. With this update, NetApp Backup and Recovery now enhances support for protecting VMs on OpenShift with comprehensive automation enabling VM-granular protection and recovery workflows along with resource transformations to accelerate recovery times.
  • NetApp Disaster Recovery support for Red Hat OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization: Customers can now use NetApp Disaster Recovery in public preview for their Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization environments, expanding from backup into orchestrated disaster recovery for Kubernetes‑based VMs. This DR-as-a-service offering delivers simple, low-cost disaster protection for virtualized workloads on NetApp ONTAP storage with intuitive, guided disaster recovery failover and fallback workflows.
  • Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Red Hat OpenShift on Google Cloud: Google Cloud NetApp Volumes and Trident CSI driver for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization are now generally available on Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud environments with certified support. This solution enables organizations to run both VMs and containers in the cloud with simplified operations and seamless scalability.
  • NetApp Trident Parallelism: NetApp Trident now supports improved scalability through parallel execution of operations in the Trident controller for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Google Cloud NetApp Volumes environments. The Trident Parallelism feature removes storage bottlenecks by enabling Trident to execute storage operations concurrently rather than serially.

 

“Legacy disaster recovery models were not built for the scale and pace of today’s virtualized environments,” said Steve Gordon, Senior Director, Product Management, Hybrid Cloud Platforms at Red Hat. “Our collaboration with NetApp directly addresses the most pressing challenges customers face as enterprise virtualized environments continue to grow in scale and complexity. Together with NetApp, we’re helping customers modernize data protection and disaster recovery for Red Hat OpenShift delivering more predictable outcomes and a stronger foundation for hybrid cloud.”

Gradiant Delivers HyperSolved, Its AI Data Center Solution, to Leading Global Hyperscalers

Business Wire India

Gradiant today announced that HyperSolved™, its end-to-end cooling water solution for AI data centers, is now deployed with several of the world’s largest hyperscale operators, supporting mission-critical infrastructure across major global markets.

AI infrastructure is expanding at unprecedented speed, with global data center capacity projected to increase six-fold between 2025 and 2035. These next-generation facilities demand significantly more power and cooling than traditional computing, driving a sharp increase in water consumption. A single 100MW hyperscale campus can require water equivalent to a city of 80,000 people each day.

 

In many regions, growth is increasingly constrained not only by power and land, but by water availability, permitting complexity, and discharge limits. While compute and energy systems have matured, water infrastructure remains fragmented, forcing operators to manage multiple vendors and disconnected systems, introducing risk and slowing deployment.

 

 

HyperSolved replaces this model by integrating the full cooling water lifecycle, from sourcing to discharge, into a single platform delivered by one accountable partner. Purpose-built for hyperscale environments, it reduces complexity, improves reliability, and accelerates deployment.

 

 

“Water is one of the least integrated and most fragmented layers of data center infrastructure,” said Prakash Govindan, CEO of Gradiant. “We are in the middle of a once-in-a-generation build-out of AI infrastructure, comparable in scale to historic expansions like the railroads in the 1800’s, which connected regions and transformed entire economies. That level of growth demands a new approach. Today, water is still managed through a patchwork of vendors and solutions that were never designed for hyperscale. HyperSolved changes that by treating water as critical infrastructure, designed, delivered, and operated as one integrated system.”

 

 

HyperSolved expands access to alternative water sources, including municipal reuse and other impaired supplies, reducing reliance on freshwater and increasing site flexibility. It protects cooling performance through integrated treatment, CURE Chemicals, and SmartOps AI, and minimizes discharge through high-recovery concentration and reuse, improving environmental performance and easing regulatory constraints.

 

 

“You run the data center. We manage the water layer,” said Sankar Natarajan, Head of Special Projects at Gradiant. “By integrating water into a single system, it performs with the same reliability and accountability as power or cooling. HyperSolved gives operators a clear path to scale with less risk and fewer constraints.”

 

 

Engineered for the pace of AI development, HyperSolved supports rapid deployment through containerized systems, enabling immediate or temporary capacity to support rapid build timelines, and delivers optimized long-term performance through permanent infrastructure. Gradiant also provides end-to-end lifecycle support, from commissioning through operations, ensuring continuity as facilities scale.

 

 

Gradiant is seeing strong commercial adoption of HyperSolved among the world’s leading hyperscale operators, reflecting growing demand for integrated water infrastructure. The company expects data centers to represent approximately 25% of its global business by 2027, as water becomes a defining factor in where and how AI infrastructure can be built.

 

 

HyperSolved is available globally, supporting hyperscalers, data center developers and operators, and engineering partners across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
