Uber India & South Asia President Prabhjeet Singh steps down, likely to join OpenAI as India MD
Uber India and South Asia President Prabhjeet Singh has stepped down after spending nearly 11 years with the ride hailing company. Confirming the development, an Uber spokesperson said, "India is one of Uber's most important markets globally, an important driver of innovation and long term growth. The strength of our business today reflects the incredible team and foundation built over the years. We thank Prabhjeet for his leadership and lasting contributions in his decade long journey with Uber. We remain deeply committed to our next phase of growth in India." Media reports suggest that Singh is set to join OpenAI as India MD. Singh joined Uber in August 2015 after a stint at McKinsey & Company, where he was an Associate Partner. Over the years, he held multiple leadership roles before being appointed President of India and South Asia in July 2020. As President, Singh led Uber's mobility operations across India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Under his leadership, the company diversified beyond four wheeler ride hailing by expanding offerings such as Auto, Moto and Shuttle, while strengthening collaborations with public transport authorities and digital public infrastructure initiatives. Singh's departure comes days after Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi visited India and announced the company's first data centre in the country in partnership with Adani Group, signalling a deeper investment in its technology and infrastructure footprint. In February, Uber also infused nearly Rs 3,000…

China’s transnational interference threatens digital rights globally
China’s transnational interference threatens digital rights globally H.Seidl Fri, 06/26/2026 - 14:56 picture alliance / NurPhoto | Jaap Arriens Comment Jun 26, 2026 4 min read China’s transnational interference threatens digital rights globally Beijing’s coercive use of digital tools and economic leverage undermines international efforts to regulate digital technologies, say Daria Impiombato and Wendy Chang. Signs are mounting that the Chinese government is expanding its transnational repression both in terms of tools and targets. The first half of 2026 has seen evidence of online and offline attempts to silence overseas critics that cross its political red lines. Only in May, an AI-generated harassment campaign against Europe-based human rights researcher Laura Harth, known for her work exposing China’s overseas police stations, was made public. The campaign, which relied on misogynistic and sexualized images, shows how Beijing is incorporating generative AI into its transnational repression efforts, allowing new forms of scalable, personalized attacks aimed at damaging the reputation of critics abroad. But attempts to silence individuals have also widened to target global civil society collectively. Another recent victim of a reported Chinese government campaign was an entire conference dedicated to advancing digital rights for all – the rights people should enjoy online, including privacy, freedom of expression, access to information and protection from unlawful surveilla…

Modernizar el IT heredado con IA sin disparar el riesgo regulatorio
La IA está acelerando proyectos de modernización que antes exigían meses de análisis. Pero en las organizaciones más reguladas aparece enseguida una realidad incómoda: el riesgo ya no está en convertir el código, sino en demostrar que la versión nueva sigue haciendo exactamente lo que hacía la anterior. Casi todos los comités de dirección han tomado la misma decisión este año: aplicar inteligencia artificial a sus sistemas. Y casi todos descubren lo mismo cuando bajan al detalle. La IA es fácil de añadir en la periferia —un chatbot , un copiloto, un cuadro de mando— y muy difícil de meter donde de verdad importa, que es el núcleo heredado. En banca, en seguros, en buena parte de la Administración, ese núcleo sigue siendo COBOL sobre mainframe, con décadas de parches encima y una documentación que, siendo generosos, es incompleta. Ahí es exactamente donde se concentra el riesgo regulatorio. Y ahí es donde más proyectos descarrilan. Llevo tres décadas en sectores regulados y el patrón se repite. El equipo de IT aborda la modernización como un problema de delivery —entregar rápido, cerrar tickets, pasar a producción— cuando en un sector supervisado el problema es de compliance . No se mide por lo que entregas, sino por lo que puedes defender. Cambiar ese chip es la mitad del trabajo. El espejismo del COBOL traducido La promesa es seductora. Hoy un modelo de lenguaje lee miles de líneas de COBOL, las documenta, las explica y propone una equivalencia en Java o en Python en una fr…

From Nykaa to Zepto: How startups are cashing in on India's Korean wave
The Korean wave is no longer confined to binge-worthy dramas or K-pop concerts. It has quietly become one of India's fastest-growing consumer trends, prompting startups and large consumer brands to reshape their offerings around Korean beauty, food and fashion. Led by Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumers, startups such as Nykaa-backed Maccaron, Pilgrim and Quench Botanics are expanding their Korean product portfolios, while quick commerce platforms are dedicating shelf space to Korean food. Legacy companies including Reliance Retail, Nestlé, ITC, Hindustan Unilever and McDonald's are also rolling out Korean-inspired products to tap into the growing demand. According to a recent Jefferies report, what started as an entertainment trend has evolved into a commercial opportunity spanning multiple consumer categories. Beauty leads the Korean boom Beauty has emerged as the biggest beneficiary of the Korean wave. India's beauty and personal care market, estimated at around $24 billion in 2024, is expected to grow to approximately $45 billion by 2030. Within this, K Beauty, currently a $400 million segment accounting for about 2% of the overall market, is projected to be the fastest-growing category, expanding at a 26% CAGR to nearly $1.5 billion by 2030, according to Jefferies. Nykaa was among the first platforms to aggressively build the category in India. Besides expanding its portfolio of Korean brands, the company has organised dedicated events including K-Beauty Festival, Nykaaland 3…
La apuesta francesa por la soberanía digital: una plataforma de código abierto para 400.000 usuarios en el Ministerio de Educación
Francia está trabajando en reducir su dependencia de proveedores tecnológicos no europeos en el sector público, y para ello ha apostado por el software de código abierto, que está adquiriendo un papel cada vez más destacado en la región. Uno de los proyectos que está desplegando es Nuage, una plataforma de almacenamiento e intercambio de archivos desarrollada por el Ministerio de Educación Nacional para docentes, personal administrativo y otros empleados. Aunque está dirigida a los 1,2 millones de trabajadores del Ministerio, actualmente cuenta con 400.000 cuentas activas, y alrededor de dos tercios de los usuarios acceden al servicio cada semana. Cada usuario dispone de 100 GB de almacenamiento para documentos, PDF, vídeos e imágenes, aunque el uso medio se sitúa en torno a los 3 GB. Además, la plataforma permite compartir y editar documentos de forma colaborativa. El código abierto como modelo para otros El proyecto del Ministerio es un ejemplo de cómo el software de código abierto puede utilizarse a gran escala y servir de modelo para otras organizaciones que buscan reforzar su soberanía digital. El interés por este enfoque ha aumentado en los últimos meses debido a las tensiones geopolíticas y comerciales, así como al creciente temor en Europa de que la Administración Trump pueda restringir de forma repentina el acceso a determinadas tecnologías. Para la administración francesa, Nuage permite al Ministerio mantener el control sobre los datos sensibles relacionados con lo…

Why Shadowfax’s stock nearly doubles since listing despite weak debut
Logistics unicorn Shadowfax has emerged as one of the strongest post-listing performers among new-age tech companies in recent months, with its share price nearly doubling from its listing levels despite a lacklustre market debut. The Bengaluru-based logistics firm, which got listed earlier this year, debuted at a discount of around 9% to its IPO issue price. However, investor sentiment has turned sharply positive over the last two months, pushing the stock to around Rs 223 and taking its market capitalization to approximately Rs 13,037 crore. The rally appears to be steered by a combination of factors: strong financial performance, rapid market share gains, expansion into new growth segments, and growing investor belief that the company may have been conservatively valued during its IPO. Strongest quarter since listing Shadowfax delivered a record performance in the March quarter, reporting a 74% year-on-year increase in operating revenue to Rs 1,237 crore in Q4 FY26. Profitability also improved sharply, with profit after tax reaching Rs 56 crore compared to a loss of Rs 10 crore in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA surged to Rs 58 crore with margins expanding to 4.7%. For the full fiscal year, revenue grew 69% to Rs 4,202 crore while net profit jumped to Rs 112 crore from Rs 6 crore in FY25, reinforcing investor confidence in the company's ability to scale profitably. The company also delivered 22.6 crore orders during the quarter, up 101% year-on-year, while express s…
