  • AML investigations see sharp efficiency gains with the introduction of AMLens by HGS

    HGS Americas sales head Eric Purdum details productivity gains, explainable AI use, and reduced alert fatigue

    HGS has introduced AMLens, a new AI powered solution aimed at improving the speed and accuracy of Anti Money Laundering investigations for financial institutions. The solution is designed to address long standing challenges such as manual case handling, alert fatigue, and fragmented data environments within AML operations.
    HGS, which is listed on the BSE and NSE, operates across digital experience, business process management, and digital media services. With AMLens, the company is targeting banks and financial institutions seeking to improve regulatory compliance while enabling investigators to focus on high priority cases.

    AMLens integrates machine learning and natural language processing to support AML teams across detection, triage, contextualisation, and case summarisation. The platform consolidates data from structured transaction records and unstructured sources such as internal notes and external public records into a single interface, allowing analysts to review cases with greater clarity and context.
    According to HGS, the solution is built as a modular and API first platform, allowing it to integrate with existing client systems. AMLens is positioned for use across retail and consumer banking, payments and fintech, credit card and lending operations, and wealth management.

    Speaking about the launch, Eric Purdum, Head of Sales Americas at HGS, said that financial crime teams are under increasing pressure to act quickly within complex regulatory environments. He said, “Legacy systems overwhelm analysts with false positives and fragmented information, slowing response times. AMLens applies explainable AI with human validation to automate routine monitoring tasks while maintaining transparency. This helps investigators focus on cases that require deeper judgment.”
    Early client deployments of AMLens have demonstrated measurable improvements in operational efficiency. HGS stated that case analysis time has been reduced by 75 percent, with average review time dropping from nearly two hours to around 30 minutes. False positive rates have declined by more than 60 percent, improving investigator focus and contributing to a threefold increase in daily case throughput.

    The platform also supports AI assisted narrative generation alongside human oversight. In flagged scenarios such as rapid international wire transfers, AMLens enables analysts to categorise risk, request additional information within the workflow, and generate structured suspicious activity reports supported by AI while retaining final decision control.
    Overall turnaround time for investigations has been reduced from approximately 48 hours to 12 hours, allowing financial institutions to respond faster to potential financial crime while remaining aligned with regulatory expectations.

  • White Whale Venture Fund joins Enrission India Capital in backing supply chain software firm Stackbox

    Shapath Parikh and Nitin Mamodia discuss how the $4 million Series A round supports Stackbox’s expansion across enterprise logistics and warehouse operations

    White Whale Venture Fund has joined Enrission India Capital in a $4 million Series A investment in Stackbox, a company building software for increasingly complex logistics and warehouse operations. The round brings together investors with a focus on enterprise technology and operational infrastructure, as Stackbox looks to scale its presence across large, distribution-heavy businesses.
    Stackbox develops a software platform that combines warehouse management and transportation planning to support highly automated logistics environments. Its systems are designed for enterprises managing large volumes, multiple facilities, and time-sensitive distribution requirements. The company currently works with FMCG players and is expanding into food and beverage, manufacturing, and industrial supply chains, while also building a footprint across Southeast Asia.

    According to Shapath Parikh, supply chains are under growing pressure from omnichannel demand and digitised distribution models, making software-led coordination central to day-to-day operations. He noted that platforms which can bring planning, execution, and visibility together are becoming integral to how enterprises manage scale and complexity.
    From the company’s side, Nitin Mamodia said the investment comes at a stage where customers are looking to modernise logistics systems rather than add incremental tools. The capital will be used to strengthen product development, deepen engagement with existing enterprise clients, and support expansion across new geographies.

    The funding will also be directed towards broadening Stackbox’s go-to-market efforts in India and select international markets, as supply chain technology adoption accelerates among companies operating regional and cross-border networks. With logistics becoming a critical determinant of cost control and service reliability, software platforms that sit at the centre of warehouse and transport operations are drawing closer attention from both enterprises and investors.

    The participation of White Whale Venture Fund alongside Enrission India Capital reflects continued investor interest in operational technology companies addressing real-world execution challenges, rather than purely consumer-facing digital products. For Stackbox, the round marks a step toward positioning its platform as a core system for large-scale logistics and distribution environments.

  • Derivative activity gets a dedicated market lens through a new BSE framework

    Ashutosh Singh outlines how the new index is structured to track derivative-linked stocks and reflect shifts in liquidity and market participation

    BSE Index Services has introduced a new market framework aimed at offering a consolidated view of stocks actively linked to derivatives trading. The BSE All Derivative Stocks Index, developed by BSE Index Services Pvt. Ltd., is designed to track the performance of companies within the BSE 500 Index that are eligible for derivatives trading.
    The index seeks to represent a segment of the equity market that has gained increasing relevance as derivatives activity has expanded in scale and participation. By focusing specifically on derivative-linked stocks, the framework attempts to provide market participants with a clearer reference point for analysing liquidity, momentum, and trading depth within this universe.

    The constituents of the index are weighted using a combination of float-adjusted market capitalisation and a momentum score, with individual stock weights capped at 10 percent. The base value of the index is set at 1,000, with 23 June 2014 as the first value date. The index will be reviewed and reconstituted on a semi-annual basis in June and December.
    According to Ashutosh Singh, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of BSE Index Services, the index has been structured to evolve alongside the derivatives market. He noted that by automatically expanding and contracting with the eligible universe, the index reflects changes in market depth and participation rather than remaining static.

    The index is expected to serve multiple use cases across the investment ecosystem. It can be used as a benchmark for passive investment strategies such as exchange-traded funds and index funds, as well as for portfolio benchmarking by portfolio management services and mutual fund schemes. By grouping derivative-active stocks within a single framework, the index provides a rules-based reference for investors seeking exposure aligned with derivatives-linked market activity.
    BSE Index Services operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of BSE Ltd. and is responsible for the calculation and maintenance of a broad range of indices used by domestic and global investors. The introduction of the BSE All Derivative Stocks Index adds to this suite, reflecting the growing role of derivatives in shaping equity market behaviour.

    The development of the index comes at a time when derivatives trading has become a central feature of Indian capital markets. By offering a structured lens on this segment, the new framework aims to support analysis, benchmarking, and product development linked to the evolving derivatives ecosystem.

  • Technip Energies secures key engineering mandates in BPCL’s refinery upgrade plans

    Davendra Kumar outlines the scope and significance of new contracts at the Bina and Mumbai refineries in India

    India’s downstream energy infrastructure is entering a phase of higher complexity and scale, and Technip Energies has strengthened its role in this transition through two major contracts awarded by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited. The mandates cover key expansion and upgrade projects at BPCL’s Bina refinery in Madhya Pradesh and Mumbai refinery in Maharashtra.
    At the Bina refinery, Technip Energies has been entrusted with Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning services for new polypropylene and Butene-1 units. These units will add production capacity of 550 kilotons per annum of polypropylene and 50 kilotons per annum of Butene-1, both critical inputs for downstream industries such as packaging, piping, and automotive manufacturing. The project forms part of BPCL’s larger Bina Petrochemical and Refinery Expansion initiative, which includes increasing refining capacity alongside the development of new petrochemical infrastructure.

    The second contract relates to BPCL’s Mumbai refinery, where Technip Energies will provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction management services for a 3 million metric tons per annum Petro Resid Fluidized Catalytic Cracker unit. This facility will be India’s first PRFCC unit, designed to convert heavy refinery residues into lighter, higher-value products. The scope also includes associated auxiliary units, offsites, and utilities, reflecting the technical depth and integration required for residue upgradation projects.
    Together, the two contracts represent a large award for Technip Energies, with combined revenue estimated between €250 million and €500 million. The projects were recorded in the company’s Project Delivery and Technology, Products and Services segments during the fourth quarter of 2025.

    Commenting on the awards, Davendra Kumar, Managing Director of Technip Energies India, said the projects reflect BPCL’s confidence in the company’s engineering capabilities and execution strength. He noted that supporting development plans at both the Bina and Mumbai sites aligns with Technip Energies’ long-standing commitment to India’s energy infrastructure and industrial growth.
    The contracts also reinforce a collaboration that spans more than two decades between Technip Energies and BPCL. With over 50 years of operational experience in India and a strong local presence across Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Dahej, Technip Energies continues to position itself as a partner of choice for large-scale and technically complex energy projects.

    As India seeks to enhance refining efficiency, increase petrochemical output, and maximise value from heavier feedstocks, projects such as these highlight the growing importance of advanced engineering, integration capability, and long-term execution expertise in shaping the country’s downstream energy landscape.

  • Capgemini Research Institute maps a shift where emotional comfort matters as much as affordability

    Dreen Yang explains why fairness, small indulgences, and cautious trust in AI are shaping consumer behaviour in 2026, based on findings from the latest Capgemini research

    As financial pressure continues to shape household decisions, consumer behaviour in 2026 is being defined by a careful balance between restraint and emotional relief. According to the latest findings from Capgemini Research Institute, shoppers are becoming more deliberate about everyday spending while still allowing room for small indulgences that provide comfort and a sense of control.
    The research highlights fairness as the new foundation of consumer value. Price transparency and honest communication have become critical to brand credibility, with a large majority of consumers indicating they would switch brands if they encounter price irregularities, unannounced reductions in pack size, or perceived shrinkflation. For many, a clear and modest price increase is viewed as more acceptable than subtle downsizing or quality changes without explanation.

    At the same time, the study shows that emotional considerations now sit alongside practicality in purchase decisions. Around seven in ten consumers report treating themselves to small indulgences as a way to cope with financial uncertainty. While spending on essentials is closely monitored, these limited discretionary purchases are seen as important for emotional wellbeing, reinforcing the idea that value is no longer measured by cost alone.
    The findings also point to a nuanced relationship with brands. While consumers are increasingly opting for smaller quantities or cheaper alternatives to manage budgets, trust remains strong in categories where quality and performance are critical. Products such as electronics and baby care continue to command loyalty, even as private labels gain traction in other areas.

    Speaking on the shift, Dreen Yang, Global Consumer Products and Retail Leader at Capgemini, said value today extends beyond price and quality to include fairness, transparency, and emotional connection. She noted that consumers expect brands to be clear, consistent, and responsible, particularly as technology plays a larger role in shaping shopping experiences.
    Artificial intelligence is emerging as a trusted guide for many consumers, moving beyond its earlier role as a convenience tool. From personalised recommendations to conversational support through chatbots and virtual assistants, AI is increasingly embedded in the buying journey. However, the research reveals clear limits to this trust. Most consumers want greater transparency around how AI systems operate, how recommendations are generated, and how personal data is used.

    Concerns around data privacy and disclosure remain high, with a strong preference for brands that explain AI driven decisions and clearly label AI generated content. Consumers also continue to value human assistance, especially during complex or high involvement purchases, indicating that technology alone is not enough to build lasting loyalty.
    Overall, the report paints a picture of a more cautious yet emotionally aware consumer. As affordability concerns persist, brands are being judged not just on price, but on fairness, clarity, and the ability to combine digital efficiency with genuine human connection. In this evolving landscape, trust has become as important as value, and emotional comfort now plays a central role in how consumers choose where and how to spend.

  • India’s employment challenge may find answers in care services, according to Primus Partners

    The report outlines how formal economic recognition of care work could unlock large scale job creation and long term workforce stability

    India’s employment landscape could see a significant shift if care services are brought into the centre of economic and workforce planning. A new report released by Primus Partners positions the care economy as a large scale opportunity for job creation and long term growth, while highlighting how the sector remains largely informal despite rising demand.
    Titled The Care Economy Boom: A $300 Billion Opportunity Set to Generate Over 60 Million Care Jobs by 2030, the report states that India’s care economy currently employs nearly 36 million workers. With focused investment in skilling, certification, and formalisation, this workforce could expand beyond 60 million by the end of the decade. The study values the potential size of the sector at $300 billion, noting that care services are labour intensive, locally delivered, and less exposed to automation risks than many other industries.

    The report identifies growing demand across childcare, eldercare, disability support, rehabilitation, mental health, wellness, and long term care as key drivers reshaping the labour market. It notes that care services offer employment opportunities across urban, semi urban, and rural regions, making the sector relevant for Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 cities as well as peri urban areas.
    A key feature of the study is its mapping of 13 paid care personas across different skill and formality levels. These range from entry level roles such as domestic help, elder sitters, and beauty assistants to semi skilled positions including childcare assistants, rehabilitation aides, senior living staff, and special needs caregivers. Skilled roles identified in the report include certified nursing assistants, counsellors, and palliative care workers. The framework shows how many care workers continue to operate in low wage and informal conditions despite performing economically essential work.

    Launching the report, Nilaya Varma, Group CEO of Primus Partners, said care services should be viewed as economic infrastructure rather than a peripheral welfare issue. He said the report demonstrates how formalisation can convert care work into a major source of jobs and economic value.
    The study also highlights the link between care services and health outcomes. Sanjay Zodpey, President of the Public Health Foundation of India, said that as care increasingly moves from hospitals to homes, building a skilled and certified care workforce will be essential for both public health and employment outcomes.

    Addressing the gender dimension of care work, Meenakshi Hembram, Additional Director and Head of Office at DGHS, Government of NCT of Delhi, said women form the backbone of India’s care economy, yet much of their work remains informal and unprotected. She said formalisation, fair wages, and access to social security are critical for recognising care work and creating a more equitable system.
    From an economic standpoint, V. K. Malhotra, Chairman of the Food Commission of Madhya Pradesh and former Member Secretary of the Indian Council of Social Science Research, said the care economy is emerging as a meaningful source of employment and productivity. He said structured skilling and upskilling can improve service quality while supporting sustainable growth.
    The report also outlines a policy roadmap through its NURTURE framework, calling for mission led governance, standardised certification, regulatory clarity, technology enabled platforms, social protection for care workers, and demand creation through public systems and private sector participation. It notes that upcoming budget cycles offer a timely opportunity to reposition care services from the margins of welfare to a central pillar of India’s employment strategy.

  • When Standard Chemotherapy Is No Longer Enough in B-Cell Lymphoma, Says Dr. Priyatesh Dwivedi 

    The haemato-oncologist from HCG Cancer Centre, Nashik, discusses how newer therapies are reshaping treatment decisions in aggressive lymphomas.

    The management of B-cell lymphoma has entered a phase where standard chemotherapy alone is no longer sufficient for a growing subset of patients. In routine oncology practice, clinicians are increasingly confronted with cases that either fail to respond adequately to first-line regimens or relapse after an initial response, prompting a reassessment of long-established treatment pathways.
    According to Dr. Priyatesh Dwivedi, Haemato-Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant specialist at HCG Cancer Centre, Nashik, this shift is most visible in aggressive B-cell lymphomas such as Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. While chemotherapy-based combinations have remained the foundation of care for decades, real-world outcomes indicate that a proportion of patients either do not achieve durable remission or present with disease biology that is less responsive to conventional approaches.

    B-cell lymphoma originates from abnormal proliferation of B lymphocytes, a critical component of the immune system. In India, Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma represents the most frequently diagnosed subtype among non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Data from Indian tertiary care centres and academic institutions consistently show that B-cell lymphomas account for the majority of lymphoma diagnoses, with DLBCL forming the largest share. These cases are characterised by rapid progression and require timely intervention, yet their clinical behaviour can vary significantly between patients.
    Dr. Dwivedi explains that treatment decisions today are increasingly influenced by how the disease responds at defined checkpoints rather than by diagnosis alone. Patients who do not achieve adequate response after standard chemotherapy cycles are now evaluated earlier for alternative strategies, including immunotherapy-based approaches. This has altered both the sequencing of treatment and the conversations clinicians have with patients and families at the outset of care.

    One of the most significant developments in this context has been the clinical introduction of CAR-T cell therapy in India. This form of treatment involves modifying a patient’s own immune cells to recognise and attack malignant B cells. Indigenous CAR-T therapies, including options developed within the country, have made this modality accessible to a broader segment of eligible patients who previously had limited options after chemotherapy failure. In clinical practice, CAR-T therapy is now considered for relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphomas under carefully selected conditions.
    In parallel, newer antibody-drug conjugates and targeted agents are being integrated into treatment protocols. Drugs such as Polatuzumab, when combined with chemotherapy, have expanded therapeutic options in both relapsed disease and selected frontline settings. These combinations represent the first major additions to standard regimens after long periods of limited change, offering clinicians greater flexibility in managing patients with high-risk features.

    Dr. Dwivedi notes that the role of bone marrow transplantation also continues to evolve alongside these therapies. While autologous transplant remains an important option for eligible patients, the availability of advanced immunotherapies has refined patient selection and timing. Decisions are now guided by disease response patterns, molecular risk factors, and overall treatment tolerance rather than by rigid algorithms.
    From a patient-care perspective, this shift has placed greater emphasis on early assessment, detailed risk stratification, and multidisciplinary planning. Diagnostic precision through biopsies, imaging, and laboratory evaluation has become central to determining which patients may benefit from newer interventions beyond chemotherapy. At the same time, clinicians must balance efficacy with safety, given the complexity and resource intensity of advanced treatments.
    Dr. Dwivedi emphasises that while these therapies represent meaningful progress, they are not universal solutions. Access, eligibility criteria, and long-term outcomes continue to be areas of active evaluation. However, the presence of multiple therapeutic pathways has fundamentally changed how clinicians approach cases where chemotherapy alone is insufficient.
    In Indian oncology practice, the conversation around B-cell lymphoma has therefore shifted from whether additional options exist to how and when they should be used. This evolution reflects a broader change in cancer care, where treatment decisions are increasingly individualised and guided by disease behaviour rather than by historical convention.
