Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 29: Exhicon Events Media Solutions Ltd. announced on BSE that its Investment Committee meeting held on April 24, 2025, has approved a strategic capital outlay of Rs 50 crore for the design, development, and deployment of temporary and semi-permanent event structures.

The company will utilise the capital to procure and commission semi-permanent modular event venues, large-span hangars and super structures, indoor pre-fab maxima and octanorm systems, portable hospitality suites, rest rooms, box offices and registration arenas, and modular staging and rigging solutions.

“This infrastructure shall provide 50,000 sq mtrs of flexible indoor event space with a 15–20 year asset life, positioning Exhicon to meet the burgeoning demand for rapid deployment of such structures at various event venues,” said Mr. Praveen Dixit, Vice President, Business & Operations, Exhicon Events Media Solutions Limited.

India has a booming market for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE), forecast to grow at a rate of 12% CAGR over the next five years, propelled by trade fairs, corporate events, government summits and live entertainment shows. The capital outlay will allow Exhicon Events Media Solutions Ltd to enhance its infrastructure capabilities in the fast-growing large format exhibitions, corporate events and live entertainment sector.

The company expects the investment in the new structures to start paying off as the ownership of modular assets will unlock revenue through long-term and event-wise venue rentals, event management and ancillary services such as audio-visual (AV), food & beverages (F&B), air-conditioning and logistics.

It will also help boost the company’s bottom line by improving its margins as these new self-owned structures will eventually replace third-party rentals, leading to a 35-40 % EBITDA margins per event. This means that even at a modest utilisation of 50% annually, these assets can generate an incremental Rs 35-40 crore in annual revenues over their lifespan, with a 3-year payback period.

This forward-looking investment will strengthen operational readiness by rapidly scaling Exhicon’s ability to service large-format exhibitions and high-profile government summits with in-house infrastructure. It will also help elevate the company’s market presence by establishing Exhicon as the preferred provider of quick-deploy, world-class event venues. It will also deliver shareholder value by building a capitalised asset base that drives recurring revenue, profitability and long-term returns.

New Delhi [India], April 28: HROne, one of India’s fastest-growing HRMS platforms, today announced the launch of the One AI Suite-a next-generation suite of AI-powered capabilities that allows users to complete HR tasks through simple voice or chat prompts, similar to the experience of using ChatGPT or other generative AI tools.

From leave applications to reimbursement claims, One AI eliminates the need for forms or step-by-step navigation. This launch marks a major milestone in HROne’s product evolution and establishes the company’s leadership in a new category: Execution-First AI – Powered HRMS where software doesn’t assist, it acts.

The Simplest HRMS for the Most Complex Operations—Now Reinvented with AI at the Core 

At the heart of the One AI Suite is the Employee AI Agent—a GPT-style, voice powered task companion that executes tasks instantly. Employees can now close everyday requests such as applying for leave, regularizing attendance, or raising helpdesk tickets and get them done instantly.

Complementing the agent are powerful AI features like the Resume Parser, which auto-fills forms from uploaded resume in seconds; the receipt Parser, which processes and populates reimbursement reports with zero manual effort; and a growing set of features including smart job post generation, profile creation, and more. Each feature eliminates unnecessary steps, reduces manual load, and accelerates outcomes across the employee lifecycle.

“With One AI, we’re eliminating the barriers that complicate HR. One AI strengthens our vision of making HROne the simplest HR software for even the most complex operations. By putting the power of AI into everyday actions, we’re creating a platform that adapts to people—not the other way around.”

HR leaders today striving for balance amid rising attrition, leaner teams, and growing expectations from business leadership to deliver measurable outcomes. At the same time, employees are struggling with outdated systems and expect workplace tools to work like the apps they use every day—instant, intuitive, and effortless.

One AI is built for this exact moment.

It reimagines how people interact with HR-moving from rigid process flows to natural prompts. Employees don’t need to “figure it out”- they simply say what they need, and the task gets done.

This launch is about driving real outcomes. By removing friction from every interaction, One AI enables faster adoption, increases employee engagement, and significantly reduces the manual burden on HR teams and employees. Most importantly, it represents a new standard: a system that adapts to people—not the other way around.

One AI Marks the Shift from Process-Heavy to Prompt-Led Execution

While legacy HRMS platforms still rely on users to do the heavy lifting—navigating interfaces and chasing approvals. In contrast, One AI is built to act. It completes tasks instantly, removing the need for forms, menus, or system training altogether.

“When we started building HROne, our goal was to make HR effortless. For years, we cleaned up workflows, reduced clicks, and automated what we could. But we kept asking ourselves: why should applying for leave still take 5 steps? Why should HR software still need explaining?

With AI Agent, we’ve answered that question as it listens, understands, and acts. One chat or voice prompt—and the task is done. This is a shift in how HR tech works and how it should have always worked. This is for every HR team ready to move from processes to outcomes.”

One AI: A Strategic Leap in HROne’s Growth Story 

This launch positions HROne to deepen its leadership in the HR tech marketplace, while also unlocking new conversations with enterprise buyers seeking future-ready tools. As adoption accelerates, One AI is set to become the default way HR happens—faster, simpler, and without any chaos.

The product roadmap ahead includes a dedicated HR AI Agent, query bot for policy resolution, and exploratory data analytics, all focused on one thing: making HR execution as convenient as conversation.

New Delhi [India], April 26: In the heart of India’s bustling student capital, Delhi University, a bold new fashion statement is emerging — and it’s being led by a 20-year-old boy from Patna, Bihar. Meet Mahboob Alam, the young visionary who, along with his friend and co-founder Pritpal Singh, is changing the way Gen Z dresses, one tee at a time.

Their venture, DU Wears, isn’t just another apparel line. It’s an exclusive fashion brand designed specifically for Delhi University students, capturing the bold, expressive, and unapologetic traits of Gen Z. From trendy graphic t-shirts, DU Wears is becoming the voice of the campus youth. And yes it’s live now at www.duwears.com

How One Idea Sparked a Movement

The story of DU Wears is the perfect example of how inspiration can strike at the most unexpected moments. It all began when Mahboob and Pritpal attended a workshop at IIT Roorkee. There, amidst all the tech talks and AI discussions, they noticed students confidently flaunting their college merchandise. Sweatshirts and tees that screamed pride and identity.

That visual stuck with them.

On their train ride back to Delhi, an idea started to take shape: Why doesn’t Delhi University, one of India’s most prestigious student hubs, have its own exclusive fashion brand? And more importantly, why not create a Gen Z-centric label that isn’t afraid to break the rules?

What started as a conversation soon turned into a mission.

A Journey Fueled by Hustle, Research, and Viral Content

Launching a fashion brand is no easy feat — especially for college students juggling academics and side hustles. It took over 1.5 months of intense research, from sourcing the perfect high-quality fabric from Ludhiana to negotiating with manufacturers who understood their vision.

“We didn’t want to compromise,” Mahboob recalls. “This wasn’t just about clothes; it was about identity, culture, and the Gen Z attitude.”

During this phase, the duo smartly decided to document their journey. They launched a 7-day social media series called ‘Building a Fashion Brand’, where they shared behind-the-scenes clips — from fabric selection to design trials and their first bulk order. The series unexpectedly blew up, garnering lakhs of views on Instagram.

It proved two things:  

1. There’s a massive appetite for authentic, student-led brands.

2. Gen Z connects with stories, not just products.

Meet Mahboob Alam: The Boy Beyond Business

While DU Wears has been grabbing headlines, Mahboob Alam isn’t new to the limelight. A published author and youth entrepreneur, Mahboob penned the widely acclaimed book ‘Tangled Entangled GenZ’ — a deep dive into the complex, hyperconnected lives of today’s young adults.

In 2024, his work earned him the National Icon Award, recognizing his unique contribution to understanding Gen Z’s mindset in modern India.

When asked about what fuels his creativity and drive, Mahboob credits his schooling years at Radiant International School, Patna. “Our school gave equal importance to extracurricular activities,” he shares. “Whether it was debate, music, or sports  we were encouraged to express ourselves, and that made all the difference.”

His passion? Building brands for Gen Z, by Gen Z. He firmly believes that no one understands this generation better than themselves.

Industry Experts Weigh In*

We reached out to Delhi University professor from Commerce Faculty, a mentor to several young students on campus, to get her take on the DU Wears phenomenon.

“It’s refreshing to see commerce students translating theory into action,” she says. “Startups like DU Wears give students real-world experience in brand building, financial management, and digital marketing. More than just a fashion label, it’s a movement that builds stage for other to do and learn but also keeping the studies in mind and not comprising on grades.

Professor adds,  “If they stay consistent and continue evolving with market trends, DU Wears has the potential to scale up beyond DU, perhaps even turn into a national youth fashion brand.”

What’s Next for DU Wears?

While the brand currently offers exclusive, limited-edition drops for DU students, Mahboob and Pritpal have bigger plans. They’re eyeing expansions into other universities, collaborations with influencers, and launching merch for upcoming college fests across Delhi NCR.

Their vision is simple yet powerful: Make DU Wears the fashion voice of India’s college students.

Why This Story Matters

In a world saturated with mass-market brands, DU Wears stands out for its authenticity, purpose, and grassroots energy. It’s not backed by celebrity endorsements or giant marketing budgets. Instead, it’s driven by two young dreamers who dared to challenge the status quo.

And if their story proves anything, it’s that your next big idea could be sitting in your college cafeteria or a late-night hostel conversation. All it takes is the courage to chase it.
