Yubi Group Launches Yubi Asset Management, and its portfolio management service, Yubi PoleStar

New business brings Yubi’s credit-native underwriting intelligence to family offices and institutional allocators, launching at Global Fintech Fest 2026

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yubi, AI-powered credit OS for financial services, today announced the launch of Yubi Asset Management, its new asset management business, along with its first offering: Yubi PoleStar, a SEBI-registered portfolio management service built for family offices and institutional investors. The launch was announced at Global Fintech Fest 2026, with Gopal Srinivasan, Chairman, TVS Capital Funds and board member, Yubi Group, as chief guest.

Yubi Asset Management Private Limited is a SEBI-registered Portfolio Manager. The company operates on top of Yubi’s existing credit market infrastructure, underwriting intelligence and origination pipeline, bringing the same credit-native discipline the Group has applied across lending, supply-chain finance, securitisation and the bond market to private portfolio management.

Yubi PoleStar runs several strategies across different investment horizons and risk appetites, serving corporates and HNIs seeking stable income and liquidity management, investors focused on long-term, all-weather wealth creation, and accredited investors and family offices seeking bespoke, multi-asset portfolios.

The strategies are built on what Yubi calls its six-gate credit architecture: a structured process spanning data ingestion and forensics, principal-level engagement, risk modelling, investment committee approval, structural and covenant design, and active surveillance, applied before and after every allocation. A weighted risk framework evaluates industry, business, financial and management risk on every credit under consideration, and portfolios are governed by a quarterly Investment Policy Committee, independent third-party valuation, and segregated custody with assets held in each client’s own name.

“Yubi has spent years building the infrastructure that connects India’s banks, NBFCs, enterprises and institutional investors across the credit lifecycle,” said Gaurav Kumar, Founder and CEO, Yubi Group. “Yubi Asset Management brings that same infrastructure and intelligence to a different set of investors: family offices and institutional allocators who want credit-native discipline applied to their own portfolios, not just to the markets they invest alongside.”

Yubi Asset Management is led by Anshul Baranwal, Chief Investment Officer, who brings 15 years of experience across UBS, ASK Private Wealth and ICICI Securities, and Irfan Mohammed, Director, who also serves as Managing Director at the Group company Aspero and has held senior roles at Vivriti Capital and Northern Arc.

“Debt investing in India has largely borrowed its models from equity,” said Anshul Baranwal, Chief Investment Officer, Yubi Asset Management. “We built Yubi PoleStar the other way around: credit-native from the ground up; bringing the seasoned underwriting and structuring discipline we’ve refined across market cycles directly into a portfolio format built for modern wealth generation and a governance framework built for allocators who want to see exactly where their capital sits, every day. It is a proven institutional framework now directly powering Yubi PoleStar.”

Yubi Group has facilitated over $36 billion in total credit across its businesses, and evaluates over 8 lakh loans a month through its proprietary risk-assessment models. Active in India’s primary debt market every year since 2020, the Group has led 850 primary NCD and MLD issuances, mobilised over ₹40,000 crore in capital across primary issuances, financed over 200 distinct issuers across the credit spectrum, and secured 96% of issuances through collateral-backed structuring, across 25+ lending and asset-class segments (as per Q3 FY26 issuance data, Yubi Group data).

New ABB and BCG report highlights growing role of direct current technologies in future power systems

• Rapid expansion of AI computing, increasing electrification and rise of renewable energy are driving renewed interest in DC technology as part of future electrical systems
• Both AC and DC systems have strategically important roles in meeting future electricity demand
• Establishing common standards and developing DC-specific skills can help accelerate deployment

ZURICH, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ABB today published a new report, The Strategic Case for Hybrid AC/DC Power: Shaping the Transition to the Next Electrical Architecture, developed in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The report makes the case that direct current (DC) technology is moving from the periphery to the center of industrial, commercial, and digital infrastructure – and that the decisions made by business leaders and policymakers in the next two to three years will determine who shapes that transition and who inherits it.

The future of power distribution is not an either-or choice between alternating current (AC) and direct current, but a hybrid system that combines the strengths of both technologies. While AC will remain the backbone of most transmission and regional distribution networks, DC is expected to play an increasingly important role within facilities where many major energy sources and loads already operate natively on direct current. The fastest-growing technologies, including solar photovoltaic systems, batteries, electric vehicles, AI data centers and many industrial automation systems, are inherently DC-based. As these technologies scale, reducing the number of power conversion steps between generation, storage and consumption can improve efficiency, increase the usable capacity of an existing grid connection and simplify integration.

The report identifies AI data centers as one of the most immediate drivers of DC adoption. As AI workloads continue to increase power density requirements, conventional electrical architectures are reaching practical limits. The report finds that 800 VDC distribution is emerging as the defining architecture for next-generation AI infrastructure, enabling operators to maximize compute capacity within constrained grid connections while improving energy efficiency.

At the same time, the shift is also relevant for a range of other key industries with the research highlighting several opportunities beyond data centers. Automation-intensive manufacturing facilities, commercial buildings and, over the longer term, buildings can also benefit from DC systems or subsystems through lower conversion losses, more effective integration of onsite renewables and storage, and enhanced operational flexibility.

“In a world that will require more power while operating within the constraints of existing infrastructure, enabling broader adoption of DC systems will require stronger collaboration among business leaders, policymakers and technology stakeholders, as well as greater attention to the role DC can play,” said Morten Wierod, Chief Executive Officer of ABB. “For more than 25 years, ABB’s DC solutions have helped customers reduce conversion losses, improve power transfer efficiency and lower electricity demand. To enable broader adoption where the business case is strongest, we need common technologies, harmonized standards, and the workforce capabilities to support implementation at scale. AC and DC each have important roles to play, and together they can help build a more efficient, resilient and future-ready electrical system.”

As part of the report, ABB and BCG address several long-standing misconceptions that have slowed DC adoption concluding that concerns around scale, safety and economics increasingly reflect outdated assumptions rather than the capabilities of today’s technologies. Instead, fragmented standards and a shortage of DC-specific skills are seen as the primary challenges that need to be addressed urgently to accelerate deployment.

ABB was the first company to demonstrate the energy-saving potential of DC in vessels with a DC-based onboard power system that achieved fuel savings of up to 27 percent and launched the industry’s first solid state circuit breaker in 2022. With more than 700 DC-related patents, ABB is now bringing DC distribution to a much broader range of applications, including electric transport, microgrids and data centers. It is also working with industry partners to explore how DC distribution can support low-carbon aluminum production and the production of green hydrogen.

Samarkand to Host the Largest Chess Olympiad in History

LONDON, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On 15 September this year, the 46th World Chess Olympiad will start at the Silk Road international tourism centre in Samarkand. In the history of the prestigious competition, held since 1927, Central Asia will host the chess world’s largest team tournament for the first time.

A total of 398 teams will compete: 208 in the men’s (Open) section and 190 in the women’s section. This will break the record of 380 teams set in Budapest in 2024. The competition will consist of 11 rounds and run until 27 September.

From 10 to 18 September, Samarkand will also host the 3rd Chess Paralympiad. 41 teams will take part — the highest figure in its history.

Held in historic Samarkand, a city on the UNESCO World Heritage List and one of the key crossroads of the Great Silk Road, the competition combines sport with a platform for cultural diplomacy and international dialogue.

According to the teams’ average rating, the United States is seeded first in the men’s (Open) section. Reigning champion India is seeded second, and Uzbekistan third.

The Uzbekistan line-ups reflect the emergence of a new generation of Uzbek chess. In particular, Nilufarkhon Imomkuziyeva and Khumoyun Begmurodov, both aged 16, will make their Olympiad debut.

In the Uzbekistan men’s team, Javokhir Sindarov (4th), Nodirbek Abdusattorov (7th), Nodirbek Yakubboev (39th) and Shamsiddin Vokhidov (61st) are among the world’s 100 strongest players. That Sindarov and Abdusattorov are among the world’s ten strongest clearly demonstrates the competitiveness of the Uzbek chess school.

Compared with 2025, the Uzbekistan men’s team has risen 15 places in the FIDE ranking among 204 countries to sixth. The women’s team has risen 17 places to 21st.

Alongside the Olympiad, the 97th FIDE Congress will take place in Samarkand from 19 to 28 September. It will also include the FIDE presidential election.

The Olympiad will be another important stage for Uzbekistan’s Javokhir Sindarov. Eight weeks after the Olympiad ends, he will face reigning world champion Gukesh Dommaraju for the world chess crown. Both will be 20 at the start of the match, scheduled for Geneva from 22 November to 13 December.

Hosting the 46th World Chess Olympiad, the 3rd Chess Paralympiad and the FIDE Congress simultaneously demonstrates Uzbekistan’s capacity to organise major international sporting and intellectual events at a high level.

Bybit AI Is Live: One Intelligent Conversational Layer to Redefine Financial Experience

Bybit democratizes access to enterprise-grade AI across trading, account management, and customer service

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced the official launch of Bybit AI, a conversational assistant that unifies the exchange’s core services, starting with trading and customer support, within a single chat interface inside the Bybit app.

Bybit AI lets users describe what they need in plain language. The assistant interprets user intent and executes the requested action on the user’s behalf, functioning as an intelligent co-pilot for everyday trading and account management.

Chat to Trade: A New Financial Experience

“Bybit AI is an important part of our roadmap for the New Financial Platform,” said Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We want to make it easier for users to access the financial services they need in one place. As we continue to develop Bybit AI, users will be able to use it to find and access a wider range of products and services on Bybit. The idea is simple: you tell Bybit AI what you want to do, and it helps you find the right products and services to get it done, like having a team of financial experts right in your pocket.”

Bybit AI replaces the fragmented experience of navigating web pages, menus and dashboards with a single, continuous conversation. Instead of hunting for the right tool for each task, from checking a portfolio balance to placing a trade to submitting a support ticket, users simply state their request in natural language and Bybit AI carries out the underlying action within the chat. Bybit built the product architecture on a clear principle: infrastructure should provide the underlying connections, while individual business lines plug into a single interface, so the exchange’s many services present themselves to users as one continuous assistant rather than a collection of disconnected products.

Bybit also revealed a roadmap to bring its services together through Open API, connecting trading, earn, loans, card and customer support in a more unified experience. “We are not looking to add another dashboard or bolt on another chatbot,” said Rockman Zhang, CTO at Bybit. “The goal is to make it easier for users to find what they need and take action in one place, with a simple interface that brings the right products and services together.”

In the initial rollout, Bybit AI is deployed for all users across two main modules:

• One AI assistant for all needs: Bybit AI will cover key features and essential features across Spot, Futures, and Options trading, Bybit Earn, Copy Trading, Trading Bot, Loan, P2P, Bybit Card, Spot X, access to the Rewards Hub, and notification and subscription management.
• Intelligent support: Bybit’s customer service gets an upgrade while retaining the human touch, with Bybit AI working alongside professional human agents to optimize user experience. Smarter customer support will be integrated directly into Bybit AI, ensuring customer queries are resolved faster, better, and more effectively.

To deploy Bybit AI, eligible users should first activate the feature, which will create a dedicated Bybit AI sub-account. Bybit approached its flagship AI system on a security-first architecture. The sub-account is isolated from the user’s main balance to avoid any potential AI risk, and unlocks instant onboarding with no API key or manual setup required.

Livestream: Bybit AI Demo

Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, will officially unveil Bybit AI and demonstrate the game-changing co-pilot on September 9, 2026 at 08:00AM UTC live on Bybit. To sign up for the livestream and see Bybit AI in action, viewers may visit: How it works: Bybit AI Livestream.

Bybit AI reflects Bybit’s ambition to position itself as a New Financial Platform built for the AI era, applying artificial intelligence not as an added feature but as the connective layer across trading, wealth management and everyday account activity. The launch marks an early step in a longer roadmap toward AI-native financial services, with Bybit positioning conversational intelligence as core infrastructure.

Hylenr Technologies Finds Rare-Earth Signatures, Opens New Technology Pathway Through Nuclear Fusion

HYDERABAD, India, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Indian deep-tech company Hylenr Technologies has reported evidence of elemental formation, including rare-earth species, inside engineered Lattice structure systems — opening a radically different pathway toward nucleosynthesis and strategic-material production.

The findings are part of Hylenr Technologies’ work during the last 10-plus years on Nuclear Fusion technology based on Lattice confinement fusion and have also collaborated and validated with leading international research institutions.

A part of this work, titled ‘Nuclear Signatures in a Hydrogen-Loaded Ni–Pd Lattice Confinement System,’ was presented earlier this month at the 27th International Conference on Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (ICCF-27) at Niagara Falls, Canada.

From Nuclear Energy to Nucleosynthesis

Nucleosynthesis is the process by which atomic nuclei are transformed to create different elements.

In nature, this occurs inside stars, supernovae and other extreme astrophysical environments, where enormous temperatures, pressures and energy densities drive nuclear reactions.

On Earth, producing or transforming elements through nuclear processes typically requires large-scale nuclear reactors, particle accelerators or high-energy experimental infrastructure.

Hylenr Technologies’ results demonstrate a fundamentally different pathway for nuclear processes and nucleosynthesis within engineered solid materials. In hydrogen-loaded metal lattices, interactions between hydrogen, lattice defects, vacancies and the local electronic environment create highly confined conditions capable of enabling nuclear processes within the material itself.

This shifts the idea of element formation from enormous high-energy systems toward compact, engineered Nuclear energy.

Signatures of 32 Elements Detected

Across approximately two years of material-analysis work, Hylenr Technologies has detected signatures corresponding to 32 elements in post-operation samples, spanning light elements, heavy elements, noble gases Like Helium Neon and Argon. Furthermore, strategically important rare-earth species including Yttrium, and actinides including Uranium. Signatures are reported against pre-operation baseline characterisation of the same Catalyst material sample acting as control, and each is corroborated by more than one of the independent techniques below.

The observations have been studied using multiple independent analytical techniques, including:

• Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX)
• X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)
• Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES)
• Wavelength-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (WDX)
• Residual Gas Analysis (RGA)

Made, Not Mined

Rare-earth elements sit at the centre of many of the world’s most strategically important technologies.

They are critical to permanent magnets, electric vehicles, robotics, wind turbines, electronics, aerospace systems, defence platforms and advanced manufacturing.

“Yet their global supply chain remains highly concentrated, creating strategic dependence for countries seeking to scale clean energy, defence manufacturing and next-generation electronics,” stated Ram Ramaseshan, Co-founder and Board Member, Hylenr Technologies.

Hylenr Technologies’ work points toward an entirely different model: produce selected elements through engineered nucleosynthesis rather than extract them exclusively from geological deposits.

For India, this could create a new technological pathway toward critical-material sovereignty across defence, electronics, electric mobility, renewable energy, space and advanced manufacturing.

For the world, it raises the possibility that future access to strategic elements may depend not only on where they occur naturally, but on our ability to engineer the nuclear environments within materials to create them.

“What makes this finding exciting is the possibility of bringing together Nuclear Fusion Energy and Rare Earth materials within one engineered nuclear platform,” said Siddhartha Durairajan, Co-founder and Board Member of Hylenr Technologies.

“For thousands of years, access to an element has been determined by whether nature concentrated it somewhere in the Earth’s crust. We are working toward a very different future — one in which we can engineer the material environment required to create selected elements.”

TUTK Helps Indian Security Customers Achieve STQC Cybersecurity Certification

Secure P2P Connectivity, Cloud Governance, and Flexible Deployment Support Compliance and Market Expansion in India

TAIPEI and NEW DELHI, India, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TUTK, a global cloud platform and connectivity service provider, today announced that security devices from its customers in India, powered by TUTK’s patented P2P connectivity and cloud technologies, have successfully passed cybersecurity assessments conducted by India’s Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) Directorate.

As India strengthens cybersecurity, data governance, and supply-chain requirements for video surveillance products, STQC compliance has become increasingly important for vendors targeting government, public-sector, and smart-infrastructure projects. The successful assessments demonstrate how TUTK’s secure connectivity and cloud architecture can help security device manufacturers meet evolving cybersecurity requirements while accelerating market deployment.

Secure P2P Connectivity for Devices and Video

Remote video surveillance introduces potential security risks across device pairing, NAT traversal, session establishment, and video transmission. Addressing these risks requires multiple layers of protection, including secure device authentication, encrypted communications, session management, relay security, brute-force protection, and software supply-chain transparency.

TUTK’s patented P2P technology uses device authentication and certificate binding to reduce the risk of unauthorized device registration and connection hijacking. DTLS/SRTP-based encryption further protects connection establishment and live video transmission.

When NAT or firewall restrictions prevent direct P2P connections, TUTK Relay services maintain remote connectivity while keeping video and data encrypted in transit.

From SDK Security to Cloud Governance

TUTK provides documentation covering P2P SDK provenance, maintenance, and security controls, while supporting device manufacturers in implementing access control, connection logging, and device-level security policies. Together, these capabilities help address supply-chain transparency requirements and establish multilayer protection across devices, connectivity, software, and cloud services.

TUTK’s cloud architecture also supports access control, encrypted transmission, operational logging, and audit trails. Deployment models can be tailored to customer requirements for data residency, access management, and operational governance.

By integrating device connectivity and cloud management within a unified architecture, security vendors can simplify system integration, improve visibility into device and service operations, and build a scalable foundation for future device expansion.

Flexible Deployment for Compliance and Faster Time to Market

TUTK provides modular deployment options to address different security, operational, and compliance requirements:

• Private Deployment: Deploy P2P infrastructure in the customer’s own data center or designated private cloud for greater control over data, systems, and operations.
• Platform as a Service (PaaS): Use TUTK’s managed cloud infrastructure to reduce deployment and maintenance complexity while scaling with device and connection volumes.

P2P connectivity, Relay services, and cloud management can be deployed independently or combined according to each customer’s requirements, helping vendors balance compliance, operational control, infrastructure investment, and time to market.

Supporting Security Vendors in India and Global Markets

As cybersecurity requirements continue to evolve, secure device connectivity, encrypted transmission, software supply-chain transparency, and cloud governance are becoming essential for security manufacturers entering regulated markets.

TUTK will continue working with camera, NVR, and other security device manufacturers to integrate secure connectivity and cloud services, streamline validation and deployment, and support expansion in India and other global markets.

Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN and IBM Team Advance to Finals for 2026 ACM Gordon Bell Prize

Joint research team modeled a 12,635-atom protein, the largest-known to be simulated using quantum computers.

Breakthrough was achieved through quantum and classical methods working together, expanding quantum-centric supercomputing’s potential in life sciences research.

CLEVELAND and WAKO, Japan and YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A multidisciplinary team from Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN and IBM (NYSE: IBM) has been named as a finalist for the 2026 Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Gordon Bell Prize for simulating the largest biologically meaningful molecules ever modeled with quantum computers, reaching a scale of 12,635 atoms. To achieve these results, the team united the strengths of quantum and classical computing methods in a framework known as quantum-centric supercomputing.

The ACM Gordon Bell Prize recognizes outstanding achievement in high-performance computing and is one of the field’s most prestigious honors. The 2026 winner will be announced at the International Conference for High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC26), taking place Nov. 15–20, 2026 in Chicago.

The origins of the project are rooted in the team’s investigation into how computation in drug discovery can be improved. Doing so rests on two fundamental challenges: first, modeling the movement of atoms as biological processes unfold; and second, accurately computing their energies. Particularly the second challenge is well-suited for quantum computers, which operate by the laws of quantum mechanics.

In the work, initially published in May 2026, the team calculated the electronic structure of two large protein complexes using the IBM Quantum Heron processors running within the IBM quantum computers at Cleveland Clinic in the United States and RIKEN in Japan. The calculations were executed alongside two of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, Fugaku at RIKEN and Miyabi-G, which is operated by the University of Tokyo and University of Tsukuba. The quantum computers used up to 94 qubits to run nearly 6,000 quantum operations within certain parts of the problem, which was essential to the computation’s accuracy and success. Fugaku and Miyabi-G were used to reassemble the results and allow the team to gain a complete representation of each molecule.

The results reflect the team’s innovative approach alongside the rapid maturation of quantum computing. Using the sample-based quantum diagonalization by IBM and RIKEN (featured on the cover of Science Advances) along with embedded wavefunction methods adapted by Cleveland Clinic to the question at hand, the team was able to report the first-known simulation of a 303-atom protein achieved with quantum computers. Less than a year later, the team first scaled their method roughly 40 times while also achieving 210 times improvement in accuracy. In updated results recently published in September, the team advanced the work even further. Most notably, they were able to further improve the accuracy of their computations of the binding energies of the molecular system, which reflect how tightly the molecules are bound together and can predict how they could interact with other systems.

In addition, the team validated the workflow on a third supercomputer, JHPC-quantum GPU supercomputer “ROQUO,” RIKEN’s newest system in a way that eliminated the need for complex manual operations and data transfers – pointing toward faster, more accessible research. By orchestrating CPUs, GPUs, and QPUs together, the team minimized the need for manual transfers and further reduced errors — an early demonstration of how classical and quantum computing can work in concert on complex scientific problems.

Taken together with the earlier results, these updates reflect continued progress on both the accuracy of computed binding energies and the time-to-solution enabled by the automated workflow.

The quantum-classical techniques developed by the team continues to reduce the computational overhead required to directly represent the chemistry of molecular systems with accuracy and is pushing the frontiers of what is possible with quantum-centric supercomputing in the field. The work has demonstrated a path to further increase the accuracy of how molecular system can be calculated and is a step towards helping researchers better predict how medicines may interact with protein targets.
