AHMEDABAD, India, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Anant National University co-hosted the Mass Timber Workshop 2026 recently at its Ahmedabad campus. Organised by the US Softwood Export Council (SEC) an Anant National University, with support from the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) under the Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (RAPP), the workshop brought together stakeholders to explore the role of mass timber in advancing sustainable construction in India.

As the construction sector grows, the need for environmentally responsible building practices becomes increasingly important.

It provided a platform to explore how mass timber and other sustainable approaches can contribute to a more environmentally responsible built environment. Ahead of the workshop, participating Anant students also visited India’s landmark mass timber project in Umargam, Gujarat, gaining firsthand insights into the material’s practical applications.

By supporting initiatives such as this, Anant continues to create opportunities for its academic community to engage with emerging ideas and contribute to meaningful change. Through sustainability-focused learning, research and collaboration, the University remains committed to nurturing designers, architects and changemakers who can help build a more sustainable future.

InCorp India Completes Rebrand to Ascentium, Aligning Domestic Growth with Global Strategy

Integration strengthens cross-border capabilities and expands access to Ascentium Group’s global expertise and services

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — InCorp Advisory India, an Ascentium Company, which has built a comprehensive portfolio of professional and advisory services for businesses operating in India and across borders since 2019, has officially rebranded as Ascentium India, completing its transition to Ascentium, a Singapore-headquartered global business services group. 

The transition marks the completion of a phased integration, bringing the firm’s expertise, people and client relationships under one identity. The business will now operate as Ascentium India with the same leadership and teams, while gaining access to Ascentium’s expertise and presence across 27 markets. 

“This is more than a new name. It completes our integration into a global company built for clients operating across borders and increasingly complex jurisdictions. We now pair deep understanding of India’s regulatory and business environment with global scale, technology and cross-border reach. Our people, our leadership and our client relationships remain at the heart of what we do. What has changed is the depth of expertise we can bring to our clients,” said Manish Modi, CEO, Ascentium India. 

A Global Company Built Through Strategic Growth 

Ascentium was founded in 2024 with Lennard Yong as Group CEO and Wendy Wang as Group President, and has grown rapidly through the integration of established specialist businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other key markets. 

These include InCorp Global, Harneys Fiduciary, Links International, Marbury, Virtuzone, ZICO Corporate Services, Clara Technologies, Dezan Shira & Associates, and MGI Dobbyn Carafa, among other specialist businesses across its global footprint. 

This approach reflects Ascentium’s broader growth strategy: bringing together established, locally rooted businesses and their specialist expertise under a common global identity, while retaining the leadership, knowledge and relationships that have made those businesses successful. Ascentium India has followed the same approach, bringing together complementary capabilities and specialist teams to build a broader and more integrated business in India. 

Building a Comprehensive India Business 

Established in 2019, InCorp India has expanded steadily, with growth accelerating over the past year through a series of strategic acquisitions and investments, including Amita Desai & Co., Ken & Co., TMSL, Manish Modi & Associates, PR Gandhi & Co., Jayesh Sanghrajka & Co., and Vinay & Keshava Associates. The business also holds a significant investment in Zolvit (formerly VakilSearch), further extending its access to technology-led business services and digital capabilities. 

Amita Desai & Co. significantly strengthened the existing Corporate Secretarial practice, bringing greater depth of expertise and enabling the firm to offer more comprehensive, end-to-end corporate law advisory and secretarial compliance services. Ken & Co. further enhanced capabilities across cybersecurity, data privacy, governance, risk and compliance, while TMSL expanded the firm’s tax and automation capabilities. 

Together, these acquisitions and investments have created a broader and more integrated platform in India, bringing together complementary expertise, technology and specialist teams while retaining the leadership, domain knowledge and client relationships of the businesses involved. 

A Differentiated Model for Clients 

Ascentium India is building its client proposition around four principles: continuity of senior leadership, accessible decision-making, institutional governance and investment ahead of client demand. 

“Four principles shape how we work with clients: continuity of senior leadership, accessible decision-making, strong governance and investment ahead of demand. We keep senior leaders closely engaged, maintain a lean structure that enables quick decisions, and hold ourselves to high standards of governance and accountability. At the same time, we continue to invest in technology, talent and capabilities to deliver long-term client value,” added Manish Modi. 

Ascentium India offers expertise across a comprehensive range of services spanning Global Expansion, Tax & Structures, Managed Services, Risk Advisory, Regulatory & Governance Advisory, Investment Banking, Fund Services, Sustainability & ESG, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, among others. The expanded business builds on established practices while strengthening capabilities in areas such as Data Privacy under the DPDP framework, Cybersecurity and Global Fund Services.

Aon Launches Power Lifecycle Program to Support Conventional Gas Power Projects Powering Digital Infrastructure Growth

New multiline insurance solution offers up to $2.5 billion in coverage across construction and operations for utility and digital infrastructure clients

DUBLIN, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced the launch of its Power Lifecycle Program (PLP), a new integrated insurance solution designed to support conventional gas power projects from construction through testing, commissioning and into operations.

Reliable power generation is becoming increasingly important as demand for digital infrastructure, cloud computing and artificial intelligence accelerates. PLP is designed to help organizations investing at scale in power generation – whether behind the meter for dedicated digital infrastructure or in front of the meter to serve broader grid demand – address the growing risks associated with power assets required to meet rising energy needs.

“As investment in energy infrastructure continues to grow, organizations require risk solutions that evolve alongside increasingly complex power assets,” said Joe Peiser, CEO of Risk Capital, Aon. “Our Power Lifecycle Program provides a coordinated insurance solution from construction, testing and commissioning through to operation. By bringing multiple coverages together within a single lifecycle framework, Aon’s Power Lifecycle Program helps clients take a more holistic approach to managing project, operational and infrastructure risk.”

A Lifecycle Approach to Power Risk

Developing a conventional power project involves managing interconnected risks across construction, testing, commissioning and early operations – and a loss or interruption at any stage can affect schedules, financing commitments and anticipated revenue – particularly when insurance is arranged separately at each stage. PLP’s lifecycle model moves insurance from a series of disconnected placements to a single coordinated risk-transfer strategy that supports a project from site selection and construction through commissioning and ongoing operations. The result is generally better continuity of cover, reduced coverage gaps, improved capital efficiency, and greater confidence for developers, owners, lenders and investors.

Key features of PLP generally include:

• Up to $2.5 billion in Erection All Risks and Delay in Startup coverage per project, for the construction, testing and commissioning periods
• Up to $2.5 billion in Operational Property Damage and Business Interruption coverage per project, for the immediate operational period
• Up to $100 million of Construction and Operational Third-Party Liability (excluding U.S. Projects)
• Clients can opt for a tailored risk advisory assessment of the risk to projects from natural catastrophe, climate, cyber, casualty, supply chain and business interruption risks, delivering enterprise resilience from site selection through to portfolio scale. Risk Engineering and Casualty consulting available.

The program is underpinned by a lead panel of London-based carriers, combining power-sector expertise with meaningful capacity for global clients. Beyond the lead panel, the balance of capacity is predominantly London-based, complemented by significant participation from key local and global markets, providing the breadth, resilience and reach required to support projects worldwide.

PLP is available to power infrastructure developers, private equity firms funding power project developments, contractors controlling construction cover and power infrastructure owners for both grid-connected standalone conventional gas power projects and dedicated projects supporting data centers.

The launch comes as the rapid expansion of data centers drives significant investment in conventional power generation capacity and builds on Aon’s established position supporting digital infrastructure clients through the Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program that expanded to $5 billion in capacity in July 2026. Together, the two programs reflect Aon’s lifecycle approach to helping clients build, operate and scale critical infrastructure with greater confidence.

About Aon

Aon plc (NYSE: AON) exists to shape decisions for the better — to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. Through actionable analytic insight, globally integrated Risk Capital and Human Capital expertise, and locally relevant solutions, our colleagues provide clients in over 120 countries with the clarity and confidence to make better risk and people decisions that help protect and grow their businesses.

Alive App Raises $1 Million From Powerhouse Ventures and Flipkart Ventures to Accelerate India’s Experience Economy

Experience-tech platform expands to six markets with 500+ experiences and 400+ creators

Targets 3X revenue growth in the next few months, as it seeks to make experiences a default part of urban India’s weekends

BENGALURU, India, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Alive App, India’s AI powered experience-tech platform for building and distributing new and unique experiences, has raised $1 million in a new funding round led by Powerhouse Ventures and Flipkart Ventures. The capital will support the company’s next phase of product and supply expansion as it works to make experiences a more frequent and habitual part of how urban Indians spend their leisure time.

The investment from Flipkart Ventures also creates opportunities for Alive App to explore synergies across the broader Flipkart ecosystem as it builds new pathways for consumer discovery, engagement and access to experiences at scale.

The new capital will be used to strengthen Alive App’s product and technology capabilities and accelerate the creation and availability of experiences across its existing markets. The company is targeting 3X revenue growth in the next few months and plans to focus on increasing the frequency with which consumers use Alive App, with the goal of making the platform a default companion for weekend discovery. The company has also achieved its first profitable quarter in Bengaluru, its first and largest market, as it continues to build density across cities.

Alive App is seeing this shift play out on its platform. The company is now present across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi and Goa, offering more than 500 experiences across categories including adventure, food, wellness, art, culture and learning. Its creator ecosystem has grown to over 400 creators and partners. Over the last six months, it has expanded into Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi, in addition to its presence in Goa. The company’s experience supply in the newly launched markets of Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi and Goa has grown five times faster than during its initial expansion phase, with Alive App now adding approximately 100 new experiences every month. The rapid expansion follows a broader shift in how consumers are spending their leisure time. According to Alive App’s platform data, more than 90% of bookings are for local experiences, with consumers increasingly choosing activities closer to home rather than treating experiences purely as part of travel.

The company’s growth reflects the evolution of India’s experience economy from an occasional, travel-led activity into a more regular part of urban consumption. Alive App’s platform combines technology with a curated and largely exclusive supply of experiences, working with creators to conceptualise, build and launch experiences rather than simply aggregating existing listings. With the latest round, Alive App’s focus shifts from establishing the category across individual cities to building the habit around it and making discovery of experiences as routine a part of the weekend as choosing a restaurant, watching a movie or planning a day out.

Supporting Quotes

Vivek Kumar, Founder & CEO, Alive App, said, “Over the last year, the biggest validation for us has been seeing how quickly experiences are being adopted as an upgrade to weekend plans in every city we enter. Mumbai and Chennai are growing much faster than Bengaluru did in its early months, while our supply in the newly launched cities has grown five times faster than in our initial expansion phase. We are now adding around 100 new experiences every month. The opportunity ahead is to make Alive App the default weekend companion for urban India, something people return to every week to discover what they want to do next.”

Kshitij Golwalkar, General Partner, Powerhouse Ventures, said, “Alive App stands out as one of the most differentiated and capital-efficient companies we have seen in this category. What is particularly compelling is how the team is using AI not only as a product feature, but across the business to rethink how consumer technology companies can be built, scaled and operated in India. We believe this combination of a strong consumer proposition, differentiated supply and an AI-led operating model gives Alive App the potential to be a leader in India’s rapidly growing experience economy.”

About Alive App

Alive App is an experience-tech platform focused on helping urban consumers discover and experience curated activities across adventure, food, wellness, art, culture, learning and more. The platform currently operates across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi and Goa, with 500+ experiences and 400+ creators and partners. Founded by Vivek Kumar, Alive App is building technology and supply infrastructure for India’s emerging experience economy.

Disprz crosses ₹130 crore ARR and launches Autonomous Enablement OS, pioneering a new category beyond traditional L&D

Rebuilt from the ground up for the AI era, Autonomous Enablement OS puts an army of agents to work on the outcomes businesses are measured on: faster ramp, more revenue per seller, and people ready for their next role. The launch comes as Disprz crosses ₹130 crore in ARR, with 500+ enterprises across 25+ countries.

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Disprz, the AI-powered enterprise learning and skilling platform trusted by 500+ enterprises and 3.5 million+ learners across 25+ countries, has unveiled Autonomous Enablement OS,a bold AI-native system that autonomously does enablement work end to end and coaches every employee in the flow of their work, with a human reviewing and approving what reaches them. With it, Disprz vaults beyond the traditional learning and skilling category toward a far bigger ambition: the autonomous enterprise.

The launch caps a breakout period of growth, with the company recently crossing ₹130 crore in ARR. With its suite finding breakthrough success in India and global markets, Disprz is now ready to accelerate that momentum with Autonomous Enablement OS. The company recently won the Talent Track at the Accenture Tech Next Challenge, a programme focused on identifying deep-tech firms, where Autonomous Enablement OS was showcased against this year’s theme of enterprise autonomous technologies. The recognition further reinforces the direction Disprz is headed, with strongest demand coming from banking, insurance, retail, pharma, automobile and manufacturing.

From AI features to autonomous work

Where ‘AI in L&D’ has mostly meant a few features bolted onto a platform someone still has to operate, Autonomous Enablement OS does the work itself. Leaders simply name a business result, such as a faster ramp, higher win rates, or readiness for a new role, and an army of agents goes and delivers it, coaching each person right where they already sell, serve, and ship. Powering it all is the Context Graph: a living map built entirely from a company’s own data, including who each person is, what they got wrong, what a winning conversation sounds like, and what actually closed. Agents read from it, act, and write every outcome back, so the system only gets smarter over time. And because it is built from a company’s own reality rather than a generic model, no competitor can ever replicate it.

“Autonomous Enablement OS isn’t AI bolted onto a platform. It’s a fundamentally new architecture where agents do the work end to end,” said Subramanian Viswanathan, Co-founder and CEO of Disprz. “Learning stops being a program you run and becomes an outcome the system delivers for you. That is what it means to move from learning and skilling to the autonomous enterprise, and we believe it’s the future of this category.”

A leap in the experience layer, putting a voice-enabled coach in every worker’s pocket

The experience layer puts a voice-enabled coach in every worker’s pocket, available in the systems they already work on, like WhatsApp and Microsoft Teams, and in their own language. The agents spring into action on two triggers: an event, such as a new joiner, role change, or product launch; and a signal, such as a KPI moving or ticket size dipping. They interpret these signals, determine what each person needs, and autonomously build the content, roleplays, practice scenarios, and coaching interventions to address it. Nothing ever ships unattended: before any agent reaches an employee, a human sees what it plans to do and why, and can approve, change, or hold it. This is built for the governance questions regulated industries ask first.

Autonomous Enablement OS launches with three offerings mapped to the employee lifecycle:

• Autonomous Onboarding: builds each new hire’s path and walks them through it right where they work, getting people productive in days, not weeks.
• Autonomous Sales Enablement & Coaching: pinpoints who is struggling to close, coaches them through the exact objections they are hitting, and lets them practise before the call.
• Autonomous Talent Development: figures out the skills a changing role demands and helps people build them over time, without waiting for an annual review.

Proven with leading enterprises, now scaling globally

Autonomous Enablement OS is already in use with some of the world’s largest enterprises across banking, retail, and technology, built by the team that already runs learning and skilling for the likes of Axis Bank, Starbucks, Bajaj General Insurance, and Flipkart, on the platform 3.5 million+ learners rely on every day.

“Growing 30% year on year tells us the market is ready for outcome-led enablement,” said Kuljit Chadha, Co-founder and COO of Disprz. “Customers don’t want more courses. They want faster time to productivity, more revenue per seller, and people ready for their next role. Autonomous Enablement OS delivers exactly those outcomes at scale. For us, and for the market, this is the start of an entirely new category.”

For early adopters, the human-in-the-loop design has been decisive. “Organisational learning works best when it is relevant, personalized, and accessible. For us at Piramal Finance, our focus is on building the right capabilities and enabling our people to perform at their best. AI allows us to move beyond traditional, cohort-based learning and embed contextual learning into operational workflows,” said Parneet Soni, Head HR, Retail Finance, Piramal Finance. “Through Autonomous Enablement, we see a meaningful opportunity to bring personalised coaching closer to individual needs, further aligning with everyday business situations. We are excited to partner with Disprz as we build a more adaptive, continuous, and meaningful approach to the enterprise skilling ecosystem.”

Disprz is now scaling Autonomous Enablement OS across enterprises, with adoption expected to accelerate over the coming quarters as the company drives toward its stated goal of ₹200 crore in ARR.

About Disprz

Disprz is an AI-powered enterprise learning, skilling, and enablement platform trusted by 500+ enterprises and 3.5 million+ learners across 25+ countries. Its agentic suite, spanning LMS, LXP, Frontline Training, and AI Sales Coach, helps organisations in banking, insurance, retail, manufacturing, and pharma tie capability directly to business outcomes. With Autonomous Enablement OS, Disprz is extending that platform into a bold new category: enablement work done autonomously, in the flow of work, with a human in the loop. Learn more at disprz.ai.

From Fully Allocated to a New Production Run: The New Rotoris Manifesta

GURUGRAM, India, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rotoris has reopened the Manifesta collection, arriving as this year’s Manifesta New Release, after its first edition sold out. That earlier run closed months ago, with every piece finding an owner.

The new model gives Manifesta a fresh expression while holding onto the design language from its first chapter. The changes span the movement, the stone selection, the case materials, and the crown position.

A New Movement Drives the Relaunch

The clearest change sits inside the case, where the movement now differs.

The new edition of Manifesta runs on the Japanese Miyota 82S0. It comes from the country’s largest movement house and carries twenty-one jewels. The movement holds around 40 hours of power reserve once set down. The open-heart design continues at 6 o’clock, showing the balance wheel in motion.

The movement also holds close to two days of power reserve. The open-heart design continues at six o’clock, showing the balance wheel in motion.

Three New Stones Join the Dial Lineup

The stone lineup has grown for this edition. Green Jade, Lapis Lazuli, and Pietersite join the collection as new dial options. Green Jade has held ceremonial value across Asian dynasties for centuries, and is harder than steel yet finished to a soft depth. Lapis Lazuli brings a deep blue tone mined for six thousand years, long associated with clarity and truth. Pietersite adds a third new dial choice to the range. Mother of Pearl continues from the earlier lineup, its surface still shifting colour depending on the light.

Case Options Widen Beyond Steel

Materials have expanded well beyond the original run. The first Manifesta came only in stainless steel, and steel remains part of the lineup today. The new edition adds 18kt gold as a case option alongside it. Cases are paired with lab-grown diamonds graded VS to VVS. These diamonds frame the bezel and mark the hours. They light the stone from the edge inward.

A Second Size Brings the Collection to More Wrists

Sizing has also changed for this release. The watch was previously offered only at 40mm. Manifesta now comes in 40mm and 36mm cases, extending the collection across a range built for both men and women.

A Repositioned Crown

The crown previously sat at three o’clock and now sits at two o’clock. It is lifted off the back of the hand. The change keeps the case line clean at the new position.

What Continues From The Previous Launch

Some design details carry over from the original watch. A transparent steel caseback still exposes the movement in full. Every piece carries an individual number, logged through the Rotoris Registry.

A New Chapter for Manifesta

The new Manifesta is built as a progression of the original rather than a repeat of it. The movement has changed, the stone selection has grown, and the case now extends beyond the steel and 18kt gold, and the crown sits in a new position. At the same time, the open-heart dial and individually numbered Rotoris Registry continue to anchor the design.

Speaking about the new release, Prerna Gupta, co-founder of Rotoris, said, “Nature designs every Manifesta dial for us. Each slice of stone carries its own veins, its own colour, its own light, so every piece is singular before we ever number it. When you choose a Manifesta, you are choosing a dial that exists once.”

The Manifesta Collection returns with a new production, shaped by details that make every piece its own.
