Enso Powers Tokenized Stock Execution for ether.fi’s New Consumer App

Integration marks Enso’s largest consumer-facing deployment to date, giving ether.fi Cash users cross-chain access to tokenized equities and metals in a single transaction

ZURICH, Switzerland, Sept 25 — Enso, the execution infrastructure platform for on-chain finance, has announced it is powering execution for tokenized stocks and metals inside ether.fi’s new consumer app. The integration makes Enso the exclusive minting and redemption provider for xStocks-based tokenized assets within ether.fi Cash, and represents Enso’s largest consumer-facing deployment to date.

The integration underpins tokenized-asset access introduced as part of ether.fi’s broader Summer 2026 release, which added tokenized stock and metals trading, portfolio-backed borrowing and expanded fiat on-ramps to its self-custodial app. Enso operates as the execution layer underneath ether.fi Cash, handling routing, minting, redemption and settlement in a single route interface. 

With the integration live, ether.fi Cash users can buy and redeem tokenized stocks and ETFs, as well as tokenized metals, directly from their Cash balance in a single transaction, without manually bridging, selecting a chain or holding an intermediate asset. 

The integration builds on an existing relationship between the two companies: Enso already powers one-click, cross-chain deposits into ether.fi’s liquid vaults, live since 2025. This expands that infrastructure into ether.fi’s largest and most consumer-facing product to date, and extends Enso’s broader real-world asset execution track record, which includes serving as an approved minter for Ondo Finance andas a dApp recommended by Porto, Anchorage Digital’s institutional self-custody wallet.

“Tokenized assets have lived in a DeFi niche for too long,” said Connor Howe, Co-Founder and CEO of Enso. “This integration puts them inside a product hundreds of thousands of people already use every day, without asking any of them to think about routing, liquidity or which chain an asset happens to live on. It’s the clearest proof yet that execution infrastructure built for DeFi is ready for mainstream consumer finance.”

“What stood out about Enso was how they work. From the first conversation they focused on the outcome we needed, then built the execution around our architecture rather than asking us to bend to theirs” said Charles Mountain, Head of Ecosystem, ether.fi. 

Access to tokenized stocks and metals through ether.fi is gated at the issuer level and subject to eligibility and jurisdictional restrictions; the feature is not available to users in the United States.

Huntswood launches Complaints 360 to help financial advisers and investment firms transform complaints into better customer outcomes

Sept 25: Huntswood, a ResultsCX company that delivers resourcing, outsourcing and advisory services from complaints to customer service, remediation to resilience, has launched Complaints360, a new integrated complaints solution that will help organisations transform complaints into customer loyalty. Huntswood helps manage over 280,000 complaints for UK financial services companies, which includes investment firms, every year.

Complaints360 has been built on the foundations of Huntswood’s extensive complaints handling expertise. For more than 30 years, the company has helped UK organisations improve the way they manage complaints.

Financial advisers, wealth management and investment firms are under increasing pressure to deliver consistently good customer outcomes as regulatory expectations continue to evolve, client expectations rise and firms navigate increasingly complex advice, investment and servicing journeys.

Research from Huntswood released today, underlines the scale of the challenge facing UK organisations around their handling of customer complaints.  The study reveals that around one in three consumers (32%) make a complaint to a UK company over a 12-month period, and around 46% of those who complain make more than one complaint.  

Amongst those who say they are complaining more than they did five years ago, 64% cite worsening service or poor product experiences as the main reason, while almost a third (29%) say improved complaints processes have encouraged them to speak up and 22% believe social media and review platforms make it easier to effect change in their favour.

Complaints360 enables organisations to move beyond reactive complaint handling towards a proactive, insight-led model that strengthens compliance, reduces operational risk and improves customer trust.

The comprehensive complaints transformation service blends specialist human expertise, AI-powered technology and scalable delivery.  The solution will help organisations deliver good customer outcomes at scale, identify root causes and improve speed and accuracy across the entire complaints’ life cycle.

James Tattersall, Senior Director, Advisory, Huntswood said: “Complaints360 helps firms move beyond simply resolving complaints to understanding and preventing them.  By combining experienced complaints specialists with AI-enabled technology, organisations can identify root causes more quickly, improve consistency and regulatory compliance, and use complaint insight to drive continuous improvement across the business.”

Siddharth Parashar, Managing Director, UK & Europe, Huntswood/ResultsCX said: “For financial advisers and investment firms, every complaint represents an opportunity to strengthen client relationships and improve the quality of advice and service.  In an industry built on trust, how firms respond to complaints is just as important as how they prevent them.

“The FCA’s Consumer Duty has placed an even greater emphasis on delivering good customer outcomes and demonstrating that firms are learning from client feedback.  Complaints can reveal recurring issues with communications, administration, servicing or client journeys that might overwise go unnoticed until they become more significant regulatory or reputational risks.

Mud and large boulders slid onto the railway line, forcing authorities to suspend rail movement on the route and affecting both passenger and long-distance trains.

Trains Stranded on Route

The disruption left several trains halted at different stations, with the Intercity Express stranded at Sikarapai and the Hirakhand Express stopped at Keutguda, causing inconvenience to passengers.

Restoration Work in Progress

Teams from East Coast Railway (ECOR) rushed to the site with heavy machinery soon after the incident was reported. Restoration crews are working to remove debris and clear the tracks to resume train operations at the earliest.

Rain Keeps Authorities on Alert

The latest disruption comes after another day of rain-related disturbances along the railway corridor, where several minor landslides had been reported earlier.

With heavy rainfall continuing across the region, railway officials are maintaining close surveillance of tunnels, hill slopes and other vulnerable stretches along the mountainous route to minimise the risk of further disruptions.

After 10 Years, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Riverview Begins a New Chapter Under Local Ownership
Florida entrepreneur takes over Hillsborough County barbecue restaurant to enhance experience for the community and revive longstanding operation
 
TAMPA, Fla. (September 25, 2026) – A familiar face is taking the reins at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Riverview. Local franchise owner Rakesh Patel, who also operates the nearby Wesley Chapel location, has assumed ownership of the restaurant at 10463 Gibsonton Drive, bringing his passion for authentic Texas barbecue and creating a consistent guest experience across both locations.
A software programmer turned barbecue aficionado, Patel rolled up his sleeves and officially got to work reviving the 10-year-old barbecue restaurant earlier this summer. Since taking over, the new Pit Master has been focused on improving guest experience by making operational improvements and strengthening the team’s focus on food quality, cleanliness and customer service.

“To the Riverview community, we want to say thank you for welcoming us as the new owners of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit,” said Patel. “We are excited and honored to continue serving this community and building on the strong legacy of a brand known for authentic, slow-smoked Texas barbecue. We are committed to providing great food and friendly service. We invite everyone to stop by, say hello, and experience the passion and dedication we are bringing to this longstanding restaurant. We are grateful for your support and look forward to entering this new chapter together as a community.”

 
Dickey’s first landed onto Riverview’s dining scene in 2016, and since then has been introducing the area to the deliciousness of authentic, slow-smoked Texas-style barbecue. The Dickey’s difference starts with its approach to smoking premium cuts of brisket, pork, chicken and kielbasa sausage low and slow for hours over a proprietary applewood pellet blend. The barbecue brand, which has been serving smoked favorites since opening its first location in Texas in 1941, features classic American barbecue staples such as pulled pork, brisket, coleslaw, barbecue beans, and potato salad. In addition, longtime barbecue fans and newcomers alike can indulge their taste buds at the Tacoma location, which also serves chicken wings, fall-off-the-bone ribs, giant loaded baked potatoes, smoked ham & cheddar sandwiches, and other rotating menu items.

In celebration of the brand’s 85th anniversary, Dickey’s in Riverview is offering a limited-time throwback deal. For $6.85, fans can score a savory sandwich piled high with pit-smoked ham and finished with a smoky cheddar sauce all on a toasted, buttery brioche bun.   

 
As part of Dickey’s commitment to the communities it serves, the restaurant will engage with local schools, sports teams and nonprofit organizations through fundraising opportunities and sponsorships.
 
Dickey’s in Riverview is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Heritage Auctions Launches Stamps Category, Welcomes Philatelic Leaders Charles Shreve and Tracy Carey

Shreve reunites with Steve Ivy more than four decades after they first built a stamps business together; inaugural U.S. and international auction planned for early 2027

DALLAS, Texas (Sept. 25, 2026) – Heritage Auctions announces the launch of its new Stamps category under the leadership of two of the field’s most accomplished professionals: Charles F. Shreve, who joins Heritage as Vice President, Stamps, and Tracy L. Carey, who joins as Consignment Director.

The appointments mark both a new chapter for Heritage and a return to one of its earliest ventures outside of Numismatics. In 1980, Heritage Auctions CEO and Co-Chairman Steve Ivy recruited Shreve to Dallas to establish Steve Ivy Philatelic Auctions, an early rare-stamps enterprise built on the modern marketing principles Ivy had successfully applied to rare coins. Carey began her career with the company in 1988 and became a licensed auctioneer two years later.

Now, more than four decades after Shreve and Ivy first joined forces, and 35 years after Heritage sold its Stamp division to Greg Manning Auctions, Inc., an NYSE-listed entity, Shreve and Carey have returned to build a dedicated Heritage category serving collectors of United States and international stamps and postal history. Their ambition extends beyond building a successful auction category; they intend to modernize stamp collecting itself by combining the field’s tradition of scholarship and personal relationships with Heritage’s technology, digital reach and global collector community, making philately more accessible and engaging to a new generation of collectors.

“This is one of those rare opportunities in which Heritage’s history and its future come together,” Ivy says. “Charles helped us recognize decades ago that great stamps deserved the same sophisticated presentation, scholarship and broad marketing that were transforming the rare-coin market. He went on to become one of the most influential figures in philately, and Tracy established an exceptional reputation as an auctioneer, operator and trusted adviser to collectors. Bringing them both back to Heritage gives this new venture extraordinary experience, credibility and momentum from its first day.”

Heritage is planning the category’s inaugural auction for early 2027, with offerings encompassing important United States and international philately. Shreve and Carey have already begun working with collectors and are currently accepting consignments.

“Returning to work with Steve and joining Heritage again feels both familiar and entirely new,” Shreve says. “The company has built a global community of collectors and an auction platform with tremendous reach, while never losing sight of the expertise and personal relationships that make collecting meaningful. Tracy and I look forward to creating a destination for great stamps and postal history—one that serves experienced philatelists, welcomes new collectors and brings exceptional collections to the widest possible international audience.”

Shreve began collecting stamps at age 12 and was working in a Detroit-area stamp shop soon afterward. While still a teenager, he became an apprentice auction-lot describer for Roger Koerber Auctions in Southfield, Michigan. He joined Sotheby Parke Bernet Stamp Auction Company in 1977 before Ivy brought him to Dallas in 1980. Shreve ultimately became a partner in Ivy, Shreve and Mader, then one of the country’s largest stamp auction houses.

He later founded Shreves Philatelic Galleries and oversaw its 2007 sale to London-based Spink and Son Ltd., where he became president of Spink Shreves Galleries. Since 2012, he has served as a director of Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries with responsibility for its international division.

Across his career, Shreve has been involved in the sale of more than $1 billion in rare philatelic material and has helped reshape the way important stamps are presented and sold. An early adopter of sophisticated marketing within the field, he also became the first stamp auctioneer to conduct auctions live on the internet, expanding access to bidders around the world.

Among his landmark accomplishments, Shreve worked with renowned collector William H. Gross and the sale of material from Gross’ celebrated collection of United States and international stamps. In total, the Gross Collection realized over $75 million at auction, including more than $16 million for his extraordinary complete collection of United States singles – the highest single-grossing stamp auction ever. An early offering of 106 items from the collection realized more than $10 million. Shreve also helped lead the campaign that raised nearly $15 million for the Smithsonian National Postal Museum’s William H. Gross Stamp Gallery.

In recognition of his contributions to philately, Shreve received the prestigious Smithsonian Philatelic Achievement Award in 2019. He has served on the Smithsonian National Postal Museum’s Council of Philatelists since 2001 and now serves as its chair. He is a Fellow of the Royal Philatelic Society London, an expert consultant to and past trustee of the Philatelic Foundation, and a former governor of the Collectors Club of New York. His philanthropic leadership also includes spearheading a $1 million campaign to refurbish the Collectors Club’s historic New York townhouse and serving as development chair for World Stamp Show–NY 2016.

 

 

Carey brings more than 37 years of international auction experience to Heritage. After beginning at Steve Ivy Philatelic Auctions, she worked with Shreve to establish Shreves Philatelic Galleries and earned wide recognition as an auctioneer involved in some of the most important stamp sales conducted. When Shreves was sold in 2007, Carey joined the board of directors of Spink and Son and served for five years as chief operating officer of Spink USA.

From 2013 to 2016, Carey served as chief operating officer of Brigham Auctions, where she oversaw the sale of Ron Brigham’s award-winning collection of Canadian stamps. She later served as president and chief operating officer of Daniel F. Kelleher Auctions before co-founding her own internet auction company, Golden Oak Online Auctions. Her combination of philatelic knowledge, operational leadership and longstanding client relationships will be central to the new division’s growth.

Report: Companies Need a New Playbook to Unlock the Value of AI Agents

New York, September 24, 2026… As AI agents move beyond experimentation, companies must decide not just where to deploy them, but how work itself should change.

A new report from The Conference Board offers a five-stage framework for redesigning work around AI to produce measurable business value. The framework draws on interviews, focus groups, and hands-on research with senior HR, talent, and AI leaders.

The stakes are rising as AI investment accelerates. In The Conference Board C-Suite Outlook 2026, 43.6% of executives identified AI and technology as an investment priority, more than any other investment choice. But capturing value requires more than buying tools or launching pilots. Leaders must decide on the desired business outcomes, determine how work will be divided between people and AI, put the right governance in place, measure results, and decide how any gains will be used.

“AI agents can complete more and more work, but capability alone doesn’t create value,” said Allan Schweyer, Principal Researcher, Human Capital, The Conference Board. “Companies need to know what outcome they’re trying to improve, what the agent should—and shouldn’t—do, and whether the redesigned process actually performs better. Otherwise, more automation can simply mean doing the wrong work faster.” 

The report outlines five stages:

1. Start with the desired business outcome.

  • Identify the outcome the organization wants to improve first, then determine where AI agents can add value.
  • Avoid deploying agents simply because the technology is available.

2. Redesign and allocate work before deploying agents.

  • Break workflows down task by task to determine what AI should handle, what people should handle, and where they should work together.
  • Consider quality, judgment, accountability, the consequences of errors, employee impacts, and customer value.
  • People should remain accountable for the results, even when agents perform work autonomously.
  • Deliberately redesign the human role, including the skills, training, job level, and potentially compensation required for the work that remains.

3. Build the infrastructure, governance, and budget agents require.

  • Leaders need to account for data, permissions, controls, monitoring, maintenance, and human supervision.
  • The full cost of operating an agent can extend well beyond vendor or model fees. In one illustrative model, direct AI-model use represented just 9.4% of an agent’s recurring monthly cost.

4. Measure what people and agents produce together.

  • Track whether redesigned work improves quality, speed, cost, or other business outcomes, not simply whether an agent completed a task.
  • Time freed by AI should not automatically be counted as a financial gain; the organization should first demonstrate how that time was used and what measurable result it produced.
  • The report recommends distinguishing among three types of gains:
    • Cash savings: Spending that actually disappears, such as overtime, contractor costs, or other expenses.
    • Avoided future costs: Planned spending or hiring that is no longer required.
    • Higher-value work: Employee time redirected to other work that produces a measurable result.

5. Decide where the gains go.

  • Verified gains can reduce costs, help organizations handle more work without equivalent hiring, support reinvestment, or deliver benefits to employees and customers.
  • Leaders should clearly communicate how those gains will affect jobs, staffing, and employees.

Protect early-career talent pipelines.

  • When AI takes over routine work, organizations risk eliminating tasks through which employees traditionally build judgment and experience.
  • Leaders should replace that learning deliberately through mentoring, rotations, supervised practice, and progressively more complex work.

HR and IT need to work together.

  • IT may own the technology, but HR should help shape roles, skills, staffing, training, and change management wherever AI alters how work gets done.

“Agentic AI is not simply an IT initiative, nor is it solely an HR initiative,” said Diana Scott, US Human Capital Center Leader, The Conference Board. “Business leaders need to own the outcome, technology needs to provide secure and dependable tools, finance needs to test the economic case, and HR needs to ensure roles, skills, staffing, and employee experience evolve along with the technology.”

This research was produced in collaboration with SkillsRight, a nonprofit organization that aligns workforce strategy, organizational capability, and change management to help employers translate skills-first commitments into scalable systems, practices, and talent pipelines.

Odisha Rain Alert: Heavy Showers Likely as Depression Moves Towards Chhattisgarh

Bhubaneswar, Sept. 25 (UDN): Rainfall activity is likely to remain intense across several parts of Odisha as a depression over the region moves inland towards Chhattisgarh, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

Odisha Rain Alert: Heavy Showers Likely as Depression Moves Towards Chhattisgarh

 Representational Image 

The weather system, which had earlier intensified into a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal, has weakened into a depression. However, its influence continues to trigger heavy rainfall in several southern and western districts of the state.

Red Alert for Three Districts

The IMD has issued a red warning for Koraput, Kalahandi and Nabarangpur, forecasting heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated locations.

Residents in these districts have been advised to remain alert as intense rain could lead to waterlogging and disruption in low-lying areas.

Depression to Track Towards Chhattisgarh

The depression is expected to move further towards Chhattisgarh, bringing continued rainfall to parts of western and southern Odisha, particularly areas close to the state border.

Nuapada has been placed under an orange warning, with heavy to very heavy rainfall likely at one or two places.

The movement of the weather system is also expected to influence rainfall patterns across adjoining districts over the next several hours.

Nine Districts Under Yellow Alert

The IMD has issued a yellow warning for Sundargarh, Bargarh, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Balangir, Kalahandi, Nabarangpur, Koraput and Malkangiri.

Several of these areas are likely to receive continued spells of rain as the depression gradually weakens while moving inland.

Rainfall Activity to Continue

With the system still influencing the weather over Odisha, authorities and residents in the alert districts are being urged to closely monitor official weather updates.

The IMD is expected to continue tracking the depression as it moves towards Chhattisgarh and weakens further.

Tiger Spotted Inside Cattle Shed Near Odisha Village, Forest Teams Track Movement

Mayurbhanj, Sept. 25 (UDN): Panic spread among residents of Khaparkhai village under Karanjia forest division after a sub-adult Royal Bengal Tiger was spotted near a cattle shed on the outskirts of the village.

Tiger Spotted Inside Cattle Shed Near Odisha Village, Forest Teams Track Movement

 Representational Image 

According to local residents, the tiger had been moving through the area for around three days before it was spotted near a villager’s cattle shed on Thursday evening.

The sighting prompted villagers to alert the Forest Department. By the time forest personnel reached the location, however, the animal had moved away towards the nearby forest.

Tiger Enters Cattle Shed

Residents said the tiger entered the premises of a house and was later found lying inside a cattle shed. After villagers noticed the animal and shone a light towards the shed, it reportedly emerged and moved towards the forest as people gathered nearby.

Forest officials subsequently confirmed the tiger’s presence in the area and began monitoring its movement.

Sub-Adult Tiger Near Similipal Landscape

Officials have identified the animal as a sub-adult tiger. Young tigers often move across larger areas as they disperse and search for suitable territory.

Khaparkhai lies close to the Similipal landscape, where movement of wild animals between forested areas has been reported.

A local sarpanch also claimed that the tiger killed and consumed a goat in the area on Wednesday, raising concerns among residents about possible further movement towards human habitation in search of food.

Forest Department Steps Up Vigil

Following the sighting, forest personnel have intensified surveillance in and around the affected area. Officials have also alerted local representatives and forest staff in neighbouring areas, including parts of the Karanjia division and areas adjoining Similipal.

Residents have been advised to remain cautious, particularly while venturing near forested areas during the evening and night.

Officials said the tiger has moved back towards the forest and that its movements will continue to be closely tracked to prevent any potential human-animal conflict.

TerraTern Places 200+ Nurses and Physiotherapists in Germany and Austria

BANGALORE, India, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TerraTern, India’s fast-growing, AI-native global talent mobility platform, has announced the placement of 200+ nurses and physiotherapists in accredited hospitals and healthcare institutions across Germany and Austria.

TerraTern Places 200+ Nurses and Physiotherapists in Germany & Austria

One of the largest simultaneous healthcare placements in the company’s history and a marker of the link between India’s skilled nursing workforce and the staffing crisis facing ageing Western economies. The placements span university hospitals, geriatric care networks, and elderly care homes, supported by TerraTern‘s healthcare vertical, which offers German-language training, mock tests, AI-enabled mock interviews, cultural preparation, and employer interviews.

The Global Nursing Crisis

The world faces a severe nursing shortage, projected by the WHO’s 2025 State of the World’s Nursing report to reach 4.1 million by 2030, concentrated in high-income economies where ageing outpaces population growth. Germany alone needs nearly 500,000 foreign-trained nurses by 2030, while physiotherapists face similar demand. Germany’s Economic Institute recorded over 12,000 vacant physiotherapist positions in 2024-25, more than any other profession.

The Challenge for Indian Nurses

India produces some of the world’s largest numbers of trained nurses, many of whom remain underutilised at home despite better opportunities abroad. The biggest barriers to migration are the German language, formal recognition of nursing qualifications, and the visa process.

TerraTern’s Advantage

TerraTern’s healthcare vertical addresses this through the Germany Nursing Program by combining an AI-based eligibility tool with in-house German tutors, interview simulations, and full visa and credential-recognition support. This offers a single, responsible pathway rather than a multi-agency process, one that also reaches regional hospitals and smaller nursing colleges often overlooked by metro-centric agencies.

Outcomes & Impact: Placing 200+ Nurses

  • Demographic and Educational Breakdown

    Of the nurses placed so far, 34% hold GNM diplomas and 66% hold BSc Nursing degrees, drawn from across India, including Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh.



  • Primary Destination Markets

    In Germany, most candidates take direct positions in university hospitals or specialised care networks after clearing the B2 language exam and a fast tracked credential recognition process.



    Austria offers a parallel path to public and private hospital groups for candidates who complete B1/B2 German training and nostrification of their qualifications.



  • Socio-Economic Multiplier

    For most candidates, the outcome is transformational: pay roughly 10 times higher than entry-level jobs in India, plus a clear path to permanent residency within a few years.

How does TerraTern Enables Nurses to Land High-Demand Jobs in Germany?

TerraTern manages each placement as one continuous pipeline rather than passing candidates between vendors. This begins with structured German language training from beginner to B2 level, backed by Goethe-style mock tests and AI interview practice, followed by AI-powered mock interviews with human examiner coaching to build confidence, and cultural preparation covering workplace conduct and institutional norms.

TerraTern then arranges direct interviews with partner hospitals, sometimes hosting employers on-site, before managing the full visa process, including credential recognition and coordination with German authorities. Support continues after arrival, covering local registration, accommodation, banking, and the complete settling in.

Real-World Impact Story

Helen, a GNM nurse from Kerala’s Wayanad district, spent two years earning around ₹16,000 a month in a hospital in Thrissur, before recruiters told her she lacked ‘the profile’ for jobs abroad. Starting German from A1 with no prior knowledge, she fit live classes around her shifts until reaching B2, and TerraTern secured her a direct interview with a hospital group in North Rhine-Westphalia, where she now works in a surgical ward earning roughly ten times her previous salary.

“Every single placement represents a profound socio-economic transformation. When a nurse like Helen from Wayanad goes from earning ₹16,000 a month to earning multifold in a premier German hospital, it changes the trajectory of an entire family. For years, traditional agencies overlooked talent from smaller colleges and non-metro regions. Our mission at TerraTern is to democratise global mobility, ensuring that ambition and dedication, backed by the right linguistic and cultural training, are the only prerequisites for a global healthcare career.” – Divyansh Chaudhari, Founder & CEO, TerraTern

The Future of Healthcare Talent

TerraTern calls this cohort a starting point, targeting 500+ placements next financial year and expanding tie-ups with hospitals and care networks across Germany, Austria,  Japan, Australia, and the Netherlands to build a scalable, repeatable pathway for India’s nursing workforce.

About TerraTern

TerraTern is India’s one-stop platform for global mobility, helping skilled professionals and students navigate immigration, study abroad, and international placement across 30+ destinations including Germany, Austria, Australia, Canada, and the UK. Headquartered in Bangalore, it pairs AI-driven tools, an eligibility checker, mock interview simulator, and real-time application tracker with counsellors certified by the British Council, IDP, CELTA, and IOM UN Migration. TerraTern is ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certified and a member of the Indo-German and Indo-American Chambers of Commerce.
