    Pocket FM turns page with AI, unlocking new era of storytelling in India

    MUMBAI: Once upon a time just got an upgrade. Pocket FM is putting the ‘AI’ into imagination, unlocking a new chapter in storytelling for Indian writers and listeners alike.

    The world’s largest audio series platform has flung open the studio doors, letting anyone with a tale to tell see their words transformed into a fully produced audio show within minutes. Already, more than 30,000 AI-powered series are live, a number set to double by the end of the year.

    At the heart of this revolution is Pocket FM’s AI creator suite, a tool that whisks text into audio magic at lightning speed. Built in collaboration with Elevenlabs, the AI voices can slip seamlessly between drama, comedy, fantasy and romance, no more scratchy robots, just finely tuned emotion. For writers, the impact is staggering: What once took weeks now takes hours, with stories delivered 10 times faster.

    “This is not just a content shift but the rise of a new writer economy,” said Pocket Entertainment, co-founder, Prateek Dixit. “When human imagination meets AI innovation, the possibilities multiply. Writers can now share their work instantly, globally, and sustainably.”

    And it’s not just career writers reaping the rewards. Every month, more than 33,000 Indian listeners-turned-authors are publishing their own series on Pocket FM. Some are even cashing in top creators who are projected to cross Rs 10 lakh in earnings this year. Smash hits such as King of Dragon, Darshi: A Rebirth Story and Divya Yoddha Daksh show the appetite for AI-driven storytelling.

    For Nitesh Kumar Dayama, writer of King of Dragon, the experience was life-changing. “I didn’t have the money for editors or publishers,” he said. “Suddenly, I had a production team in my pocket. My words became an audio series in hours, and when I saw millions listening… and that I could earn from it, it felt like a breakthrough.” His series has racked up over 200,000 plays in under a month.

    Pocket FM isn’t stopping there. With plans to roll out its creator suite in multiple Indian languages and 200,000 new AI audio series on the horizon, the platform is doubling down on contests, contracts, and cash prizes worth up to Rs 15 lakh to nurture the next wave of storytellers.

    For India’s aspiring authors, this could be the ultimate happily ever after.

  • Dalet calls on Dalia as AI agent rewrites rules of media operations

    Dalet calls on Dalia as AI agent rewrites rules of media operations

    MUMBAI: In an industry where seconds can make or break a story, Dalet has decided it’s time to give newsrooms, broadcasters and content creators a smarter sidekick. Meet Dalia not just another chatbot, but the new agentic AI brain unifying the entire Dalet ecosystem.

    Announced ahead of IBC 2025 (Hall 7, Stand 7.A43), Dalia sits at the heart of Dalet Flex, Pyramid, Instream, Brio and Amberfin, offering media professionals a single conversational-style interface to handle the messy sprawl of ingest, production, rights management, distribution and archiving. Think less dashboard juggling, more “just ask and it’s done.”

    “From day one, we’ve pushed ourselves to deliver a truly user-centric experience,” said Dalet chief product & Technology Officer Stephen Garland. “What we’re unveiling isn’t just another tool. It’s intelligence beyond an agent, an assistant that unifies our entire ecosystem under one natural conversation.”

    Unlike generic LLM chatbots, Dalia is “media aware” trained not on customer data but on Dalet’s own orchestration and media engine. That means secure, task-specific smarts: it can search, clip, transcode, package or trigger review workflows without users leaving the chat. Early trials show that complex operations once requiring multiple tools can now be executed end-to-end in a single request.

    The roots of this breakthrough lie in Dalet’s in-house “Skunk Works” experiment, led by Erwan Kerfourn with Matteo De Martinis and Aaron Kroger. Operating like a startup within the company, the team moved at “breakneck speed”, turning bold ideas into a production-ready innovation without derailing day-to-day operations.

    “Dalia feels less like software and more like a savvy colleague,” said Kerfourn. “It eliminates friction from workflows and gives customers new freedom to create, sell, distribute and publish faster than ever.”

    The launch comes as the media sector wrestles with increasingly fragmented workflows. A recent survey found that comms and media professionals juggle an average of 11 different tools daily, with 68 per cent citing fragmentation as their biggest productivity killer. Dalet is betting that its AI-driven assistant can reclaim both time and sanity by collapsing silos into one conversational layer.

    For media companies, the implications are huge: streamlined operations, faster time-to-air, and a new way of working that feels less like fighting software and more like talking to a trusted colleague.

    With Dalia, Dalet isn’t just plugging AI into media, it’s inviting media to talk back.

  • AI joins the comms party as M37Labs launches Ebic.ai to fix workflow chaos

    AI joins the comms party as M37Labs launches Ebic.ai to fix workflow chaos

    MUMBAI: When brands lose the plot, it’s often not the story but the spreadsheet. M37Labs has unveiled Ebic.ai (Enterprise Brand Intelligence Console), a first-of-its-kind vertical AI platform designed to overhaul the 100 billion dollars global marketing, PR, and communications industry by unifying its notoriously fragmented workflows.

    The numbers tell the story: industry research shows communications professionals juggle an average of 11 different tools daily, with 68 per cent citing disjointed workflows as their top productivity hurdle. Ebic.ai claims to end this chaos by consolidating everything from monitoring to narrative-building into a single adaptive console.

    Early deployments across enterprise clients in India and Malaysia have been striking. Teams reported up to 15x productivity gains and 3x time savings thanks to unified dashboard management. In just two months of use, Ebic.ai’s predictive algorithms identified and helped avert three potential brand crises, shifting communications from reactive firefighting to proactive strategy.

    At its core, the platform integrates four AI-driven modules:

    ●    Real-time Omnichannel Brand Monitoring: A contextual AI co-pilot that delivers global updates and enables 3x faster strategic decision-making.

    ●    Predictive Crisis Detector: Scans millions of data points to flag risks early; in trials, it spotted emerging threats weeks before reputational damage could occur.

    ●    Strategic Narrative Engine: Uses reinforcement learning to co-create compelling content while maintaining brand voice, with users reporting 3x more efficient output.

    ●    Intelligence Hub: Goes beyond mention tracking with competitor positioning and opportunity mapping.

    “The biggest bottleneck in communications isn’t ideas, it’s execution trapped in disconnected systems. EBIC.AI is the intelligent co-pilot that finally unifies these workflows,” said M37Labs co-founder & CEO Prashant Shivram Iyer.

    Adding to this, M37Labs CAIO & co-founder Zorawar Purohit noted: “Other tools monitor; Ebic.ai comprehends and acts. It learns from every interaction, continuously protecting and enhancing brand value. This isn’t an incremental step, it’s a new operating model for brand management.”

    Built by a world-class developer team out of India for global adoption, Ebic.ai runs on a cloud-native, multi-language architecture. Its early success with multinational clients underscores both its scalability and its ambition: to replace the patchwork of single-point services with a single, intelligent hub for enterprise brand management.

    In a world where attention spans are shrinking and crises can explode in minutes, Ebic.ai is pitching itself as the difference between scrambling and strategising and for an industry fuelled by reputation, that’s a shift worth more than a headline.

  • LiveU makes a quantum leap with LU900Q for next-gen live transmissions

    LiveU makes a quantum leap with LU900Q for next-gen live transmissions

    MUMBAI: LiveU, the global leader in IP-video solutions, today unveiled the LU900Q – its next-generation field unit that delivers a quantum leap in live transmission and production performance. The LU900Q is the first unit to natively integrate LiveU IQ (LIQ™), powered by AI-driven decision-making, advanced eSIM technology and seamless dynamic connection switching – all within an advanced 5G architecture. The LU900Q transforms how broadcasters approach remote live news and sports productions by combining this breakthrough connectivity intelligence with unparalleled operational flexibility.

    A Quantum Leap in Performance

    The LU900Q is built from the ground up for the beyond-5G era. Combined with LIQ, it includes 5G next-generation modems with a MIMO antenna array, delivering dramatically enhanced speed, stability, and throughput.

    “Our goal is to give broadcasters and other storytellers the confidence to transmit from any location whether a packed stadium or remote mountainside,” said Samuel Wasserman, CEO and Co-founder, LiveU. “The LU900Q is a game changer, not just a new product, it’s a smart, multi-tool powerhouse designed to support diverse production needs, from fast-paced breaking news to complex live productions, all while delivering a new level of business agility. Customers can scale their storytelling with unmatched resiliency, quality, and efficiency – equipped with a robust yet affordable field unit and the flexibility to add extra features, including on demand.”

    The unit comes in an ergonomic backpack with a super long battery, with the potential to provide over seven hours of runtime for double endurance. It is also engineered for any climate with a rugged, shock-absorbing frame and advanced cooling, which means that the LU900Q is always good to go.

    Versatile Smart Multi-Tool for Streamlined Workflows

    With limitless production possibilities, the LU900Q acts as an intelligent multi-tool that breathes new life into existing production equipment. It seamlessly integrates with SDI, HDMI, and IP production gear – from ENG cameras and PTZ systems to drones and beyond. This protocol agnostic approach allows crews to pull any combination of gear in their workflow to suit the needs at hand.

    For file-based workflows, the LU900Q accelerates faster file uploads directly to media asset management (MAM) systems, integrated with the LiveU Ingest automatic recording and story metadata logging solution. The unit also supports uploading full folders or full SD cards, as well as file by file.

    Business Agility Redefined

    The LU900Q introduces a new paradigm in broadcast and sports economics through software-defined capabilities that can be adapted to production needs in real time. All the advanced features the LU900Q brings to the table are easily activated via a dynamic software license that can be activated on-demand or as a subscription, making it the most modular mobile encoder out there. Customers can start with a basic hardware configuration and add software modules to match capabilities to requirements – delivering unprecedented cost-effectiveness and operational flexibility.

    This platform-like approach means broadcasters can ramp their storytelling capabilities up or down based on immediate needs, eliminating the traditional barriers between different production workflows and budget constraints.

    “We’re proud to unveil the latest evolution in our product portfolio – purpose-built to meet the fast-changing demands of modern live production. At LiveU, we introduce many hardware products, but this one is truly special,” said Gideon Gilboa, Chief Product Officer, LiveU. “It’s built on an entirely new technology stack that’s designed to be future-proof, allowing us to continue enhancing this device with many more software releases over the next five years. But it’s not just about future readiness – this device reflects the voices of the tens of thousands of users we have in the field.

  • Truecaller dials up AI to reveal why they’re calling, not just who it is

    Truecaller dials up AI to reveal why they’re calling, not just who it is

    MUMBAI: Call of the wild unknown may finally be tamed. Truecaller, the caller ID app that has become a lifeline for over 450 million users across 190 countries, has unveiled a fresh AI upgrade that promises to answer the question that nags us all when the phone rings: not just who’s calling, but why.

    The new AI-powered Caller ID goes beyond flashing a name on screen. It analyses billions of signals from calls, messages and community feedback to deliver instant context whether the number belongs to a delivery rider, a customer support desk, or a scammer lurking in the shadows. With AI-summarised user comments now popping up in real time, users can see a one-line digest of hundreds of reports before deciding whether to swipe green or red.

    And the timing couldn’t be sharper. Phone scams are no longer just nuisance calls, they’re an economic menace. In 2024 alone, Truecaller flagged over 56 billion spam and fraud calls, while the Global Anti-Scam Alliance and Feedzai pegged worldwide scam losses at a staggering 1.03 trillion dollars. With fraud networks evolving faster than telecom operators’ static spam tags, Truecaller’s adaptive AI acts as a global early-warning system: a number flagged for impersonation in one region can now be proactively labelled elsewhere, thanks to shared intelligence and behavioural modelling.

    “People hesitate to answer unknown calls because they lack context, and in today’s world, context is everything,” said Truecaller global CEO Rishit Jhunjhunwala,  of . “Truecaller was built to solve this: not just to identify who’s calling, but to help you understand why. Is it someone from your network, a delivery, a business or a scam? Our AI uses real-time data and contextual signals to give you clarity the moment your phone rings, turning uncertainty into informed choice.”

    Unlike traditional caller ID systems that depend on delayed telecom databases, Truecaller’s intelligence is dynamic and continuously enriched by its engaged user community. Every day, millions of reports feed into its models, sharpening its ability to detect suspicious behaviour even before numbers have been widely reported. The AI can also indicate when a number is “likely a business” or “likely important” despite limited history, a key feature in regions where formal business verification lags behind.

    For brands, Truecaller already offers a verified business badge to mark official identities. But the majority of insights shown to users come from its AI engine meaning no manual labelling or registration is required. From identifying spoofed calls to spotting robocall campaigns in their infancy, the system is designed to stay one step ahead of fraudsters.

    The platform’s greatest edge, though, may be its scale. With a global community of 450 million active users across 190 plus countries, Truecaller has turned into a real-time safety net. Its AI doesn’t just learn from local spam reports; it cross-pollinates intelligence globally. A fraudster shut down in one country can’t simply resurface in another without detection, as the system shares behavioural cues across markets.

    In an era where attention spans are shrinking but threats are multiplying, Truecaller is positioning itself as more than a caller ID, it’s a context engine. The company says it wants to move users from hesitation to confidence, ensuring that every buzz in your pocket comes with an informed choice attached. And in a world where scams are growing more sophisticated by the minute, that context might just be the most valuable ring tone of all.

  • From MATIC to magic, Polygon’s POL powers next decade of blockchain

    From MATIC to magic, Polygon’s POL powers next decade of blockchain

    MUMBAI: What’s in a name? For Polygon, everything. India’s homegrown blockchain giant has officially retired MATIC and ushered in POL, its biggest upgrade yet, one designed not just for a single chain, but to fuel an entire Web3 universe.

    POL isn’t a cosmetic makeover, it’s the gas, the security and the governance token of Polygon’s rapidly expanding ecosystem. It powers every transaction, secures the network through staking rewards, and drives Agglayer, Polygon’s cross-chain settlement layer that makes liquidity move seamlessly between blockchains. For millions of users from tokenised asset traders to stablecoin enthusiasts POL becomes the invisible fuel behind the future of decentralised finance.

    The ambition is staggering. Polygon’s Gigagas roadmap aims for 100,000 transactions per second, eclipsing even today’s fastest financial networks. Early upgrades such as Heimdall v2 have already cut settlement times to just five seconds, making stablecoin payments feel almost instant. “MATIC put India on the global blockchain map. POL is the next step built to power not just one chain, but an entire ecosystem for the next decade of growth,” said Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal.

    For India’s young investors, POL isn’t just a token, it’s a ticket into a financial future being shaped in their backyard but adopted worldwide. Fortune 500s, global payment players and Web3 startups already run on Polygon, but with POL, the network promises even more scalability, security and cost efficiency. For brands and enterprises eyeing Web3 adoption, the message is clear: the future rails of global finance may well be running on Indian code.

LiveU Schedule is accessible directly from the LiveU’s unified cloud management platform as part of the LiveU EcoSystem.

    LiveU VP Product Amir Kamzel said, “The whole idea is to simplify the complexity of live production. Broadcasters and content creators today face immense pressure to deliver more with fewer resources, often juggling complex live productions across dispersed teams, providers, and locations. Yet many still rely on outdated spreadsheets or siloed expensive on-premise systems. LiveU Schedule changes that with a scalable SaaS solution that can automate much of the preparation and coordination required for live production and news coverage. Whether supporting fast-paced daily news or multi-venue sports productions, the solution scales effortlessly to meet operational demands.”

    Kamzel continued, “By unifying all production resources, human, hardware and software, within a single cloud-based platform, teams can manage their bookings, resources, and even the most intricate workflows from one intuitive interface. This means that global teams can work as one – efficiently, reliably and in multiple languages without borders – focusing on what they do best, creating stories.”

    The LiveU Schedule combines three core elements: centralized scheduling, workflow orchestration, dashboards and reporting:

    Centralized Scheduling

    LiveU Schedule streamlines the booking of all production resources, HR, hardware, and software within one platform. It supports the booking of any resources such as LiveU units, SDI routers, recording systems, cameras, crews, freelancers, and third-party tools, with flexible options for ad-hoc or recurring events, adapting to changing production needs.

    It seamlessly integrates with other third-party software and hardware, such as NRCS, MAM/PAM systems and production tools, supporting modern story-centric workflows. By reducing the need to screen-swap between the different systems while planning, orchestrating bookings and scheduling a live production, LiveU Schedule helps storytellers create more value from video.

    Workflow Orchestration

    Users can build repeatable, cross-component workflows through an intuitive interface. All LiveU units and channels, as well as other software elements can be orchestrated and made available for the specific event planned by the system. The platform automates many of the steps for preparing field productions and newsgathering activities, eliminating the need for manual setup across systems.

    Dashboards & Reporting

    Real-time dashboards provide operational visibility, while built-in reporting tools generate work orders, task lists, and insights to support efficient production planning.
