    Dropty Creates History: Raises Rs.130 Cr in Landmark Pre-Seed Round, Valued at Rs. 2,600 Cr

    Patna (Bihar) [India], September 3: Patna-based startup Dropty has created history by raising an unprecedented ₹130 crore in its pre-seed funding round, marking the largest-ever investment for a Bihari startup. This landmark achievement has catapulted the company to a staggering ₹2,600 crore valuation, firmly positioning Bihar on India’s fast-evolving startup map.

    The fresh infusion of capital will enable Dropty to expand its product offerings, strengthen operations, and drive technology-led innovation, while staying true to its larger vision: building world-class solutions from Bihar for the world.

    Breaking Barriers for Bihar’s Startup Ecosystem

    For long, Bihar has been viewed as distant from India’s high-growth startup hubs like Bengaluru, Delhi, or Mumbai. Dropty’s breakthrough shatters this perception, proving that ambition, talent, and innovation transcend geography.

    “This isn’t just about Dropty,” an industry insider noted. “It’s about Bihar showing the nation and the world that startups can scale globally from here.”

    For countless young entrepreneurs in Bihar, Dropty’s success is more than a financial milestone — it is a beacon of possibility, signaling that world-class companies can emerge from tier-2 and tier-3 cities with the right vision and execution.

    The Visionary Behind Dropty

    Dropty was founded by Amit Kumar, a seasoned leader and visionary entrepreneur. An alumnus of IIT Delhi, IISc Bangalore, FMS Delhi, and MIT Sloan (USA), Kumar brings over two decades of global leadership experience across IBM, Intel, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, where he most recently served as Vice President of Product.

    Determined to connect Bihar with the global innovation ecosystem, Kumar launched Dropty to demonstrate that a world-class startup could be built from his home state. His leadership and deep industry expertise continue to fuel Dropty’s disruptive vision.

    Dropty’s Disruptive Services

    Operating at the intersection of airport logistics and urban mobility, Dropty is redefining the way passengers handle baggage and last-mile delivery:

    • Airport Logistics: End-to-end baggage pickup, secure airline check-in, and doorstep delivery post-flight.

    • Core Solution: Travelers book via the app; a Dropty executive verifies identity, seals and tags bags, and transports them to a secure hub. Bags undergo two-layer security screening before direct airline check-in. After landing, luggage is collected and delivered to the passenger’s destination — GPS-enabled, CCTV-monitored, and trackable in real time.

    Competitive Advantage & Business Model

    As India’s first mover in this space, Dropty enjoys a unique position:

    • Launch Price: ₹899 per trip
    • Subscription Plans: Tailored for frequent flyers and corporates
    • Revenue Streams: Partnerships with airlines, hotels, and OTAs
    • Upsells: Baggage insurance, premium handling, and express delivery

    Market Impact

    • Passengers: Save 1–1.3 hours per trip; travel stress-free

    • Airports: Reduce congestion; improve operational efficiency

    • Airlines: Streamline baggage handling; enhance customer experience

    • Government: Supports Smart Airport and Digital India initiatives

    A Milestone for Bihar, A Signal for India

    Dropty’s record-breaking pre-seed round is more than a corporate success — it is a defining milestone for Bihar’s youth and entrepreneurs. The company’s meteoric rise proves that startups from smaller cities can compete globally, sparking optimism across India’s emerging ecosystems.

    With bold ambition, visionary leadership, and strong investor confidence, Dropty is not just carrying baggage — it is carrying the hopes of an entire state into the future of India’s startup revolution.

  • Krupalu Metals Limited to Launch SME IPO on BSE to Fund Expansion

    Krupalu Metals Limited to Launch SME IPO on BSE to Fund Expansion

    Jamnagar (Gujarat) [India], September 3: In a significant move to fuel its growth and enhance manufacturing capabilities, Krupalu Metals Limited, a key player in the brass and copper industry, has announced its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the SME platform of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE SME). The IPO, a fixed-price issue aiming to raise ₹1,347.84 lakhs, will be open for subscription from September 8, 2025, to September 10, 2025.

    The company’s decision to go public underscores its ambition to scale operations and meet the rising demand for its specialized metal products. The funds generated from the IPO are earmarked for crucial strategic investments, primarily focusing on capital expenditure for new plant and machinery and fulfilling the company’s working capital requirements. This strategic infusion of capital will allow Krupalu Metals to broaden its product portfolio to include new dimensions of brass and copper sheets and to increase production of value-added components like cutting inserts, bus bars, and electrical parts.

    A Journey of Growth and Excellence

    Founded in 2009 by the visionary Mr. Jagdish Parsottambhai Katariya, Krupalu Metals has evolved from Krupalu Engineering Services Private Limited into a recognized name in the brass and copper sector. Located in Jamnagar, Gujarat—famously known as the “Brass City of India”—the company leverages its strategic location and a 10,532 sq. ft. manufacturing facility to serve a diverse client base across India and internationally.

    Over the past decade, Krupalu Metals has established a strong presence by manufacturing and supplying high-quality brass and copper sheets, strips, and custom-engineered components for the electrical, construction, automotive, and engineering industries. The company’s commitment to quality is further validated by its ISO 9001:2015 certification.

    Strong Financial Performance

    Krupalu Metals has demonstrated a consistent track record of financial performance, with notable growth over the last three years. The company’s restated financials highlight a robust upward trajectory:

    • Total revenue surged from ₹3,357.94 lakhs in FY 2023 to ₹4,849.59 lakhs in FY 2025, reflecting strong market demand and operational efficiency.
    • Profit After Tax (PAT) witnessed a remarkable increase from ₹41.85 lakhs to ₹215.09 lakhs during the same period.
    • The company’s profitability also improved, with the EBITDA margin rising from 3.20% to 7.65%, and a healthy Return on Net Worth (RoNW) of 35.12% in FY 2025.

    These figures underscore the company’s financial discipline and its ability to generate significant returns for its stakeholders.

    IPO and Investment Details

    The IPO is a fixed-price issue of 18,72,000 equity shares with a face value of ₹10 each. The shares are being offered at a price of ₹72 per share. Following the IPO, the company’s equity capital will increase to ₹587.20 lakhs, and the promoters’ holding will be diluted to 31.88%.

    Investors can apply for a minimum lot size of 1,600 equity shares, requiring a minimum investment of ₹1,15,200. The issue allocation is structured to provide opportunities for a broad range of investors, with a 50% allocation for retail investors (₹640.51 lakhs) and 50% for non-retail investors (₹639.36 lakhs). A portion of ₹67.97 lakhs is also reserved for the market maker.

    Leadership and Industry Outlook

    The company is led by its promoters, Mr. Jagdish Parsottambhai Katariya and Mr. Navinbhai Katariya, who possess extensive industry knowledge and a strategic vision for growth. Their leadership has been pivotal in steering Krupalu Metals towards becoming a growth-oriented enterprise that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation.

    “This IPO marks a significant milestone in our journey,” said Mr. Jagdish Katariya, Promoter and Managing Director of Krupalu Metals. “With the support of our investors, we are committed to scaling up operations, upgrading technology, and meeting the growing demand from domestic and international clients. Our focus remains on delivering high-quality, customized solutions that add value to multiple industries.”

    The IPO comes at a time when the Indian brass and copper industry is experiencing a surge in demand, propelled by government-led initiatives like “Make in India” and rising infrastructure and electrification projects. Industry analysts are optimistic that companies like Krupalu Metals, with their established manufacturing base and ambitious expansion plans, are well-positioned to capitalize on these favorable market dynamics.

    The listing of Krupalu Metals on the BSE SME is expected to provide the company with increased visibility, a platform for future fundraising, and enhanced corporate governance, all of which will contribute to its long-term growth and value creation for shareholders.

  • FDC Ltd Elevates Field Force Efficiency with SANeForce SFA: A 6-Year Partnership Driving Productivity Across 11 Divisions

    FDC Ltd Elevates Field Force Efficiency with SANeForce SFA: A 6-Year Partnership Driving Productivity Across 11 Divisions

    Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], September 3: FDC Ltd, one of India’s top 25 pharmaceutical companies, has significantly strengthened its field operations through a six-year-long partnership with SANeForce, a leading provider of Pharma SFA software. With more than 5,000 field forces using the SANeForce platform across 11 divisions, FDC has achieved unified control, real-time visibility, and measurable efficiency in managing its expansive network of over 8 lakh doctors.

    This partnership marks a key milestone in pharma digitization. FDC, having tested and moved on from three different SFA vendors, chose SANeForce in 2018. Since then, the relationship has been defined by zero complaints, tailored feature development, and continuous support, making SANeForce a trusted digital backbone for their field force.

    “SAN SFE application has led to remarkable growth in our business productivity. It has streamlined and automated our entire business operations and processes, paving the way for effective field force management.” said Mayank Tikkha, Vice president – Sales and Marketing of FDC Ltd.

    Operational Challenges FDC Had to Overcome

    Managing a large, multi-divisional field force came with its own set of challenges for FDC. Before onboarding SANeForce, FDC struggled with basic, web-based SFA tools that lacked flexibility and actionable insights. SANeForce’s mobile-based reporting, real-time data capture, and customized workflows changed the game. Features such as selfie-based attendance, fingerprint login, geo-tagging, and brand-wise potential yield tracking provided clarity and control at every level.

    FDC

    Advanced Tools Driving Field Force Productivity

    SANeForce’s SAN SFE platform equips FDC Pharma with powerful tools that go beyond basic automation to deliver measurable, day-to-day business value. One of its standout innovations is the Unified Doctor Feature, which ensures that every doctor has a unique ID across the system, thus eliminating duplicates, maintaining data accuracy, and enabling a 360° view of doctor interactions. This supports cross-divisional visibility, real-time validation, and powerful analytics, all while reinforcing compliance and field accountability.

    Additionally, the platform’s multi-level Expense Management System which provides manual, semi-manual, and automated expense handling, not only simplifies submissions for field reps but also significantly reduces approval bottlenecks. It offers the finance team greater control through cleaner audits and streamlined workflows.

    To further enhance field force performance and engagement, SANeForce includes a Scoreboard that ranks Med-Reps based on activity, target achievement, and real-time metrics. This motivates reps through healthy competition and helps managers easily identify and reward top performers.

    SANeForce also enables continuous learning through its integrated Quiz Module, allowing medical representatives to regularly test and enhance their product knowledge. This has enabled FDC to drive more informed, confident conversations during doctor visits—directly improving engagement quality and sales outcomes.

    Innovation on the Horizon: Built for What’s Next

    Building on this foundation, SANeForce is now developing a next-gen suite of modules to further enhance doctor engagement and rep efficiency.

    The upcoming AI Integration module will provide predictive insights and next-best-action suggestions to reps based on historical data and market patterns. A WhatsApp Communication Module will streamline secure, compliant communication between reps and doctors through a familiar interface. Additionally, an Event Management Module will simplify planning and tracking of CMEs, product launches, and doctor meets—closing the loop on multi-touch engagement.

    “At SANeForce, we don’t just deploy software, we co-create outcomes. Our partnership with FDC is built on trust, transparency, and the shared goal of transforming pharma field operations through smart tech,” said P. Samson Associate Director – Functional

    Proven Business Outcomes

    • Unified field operations with a single platform across 11 divisions
    • Zero complaints in 6 years, strongest indicator of long-term product-market fit
    • Enhanced doctor engagement via mobile-first reporting and real-time tracking
    • Streamlined operations, decision-making, and performance management
    • Consistent support, training, and custom feature rollouts from SANeForce

    About SANeForce

    SANeForce is a leading provider of SFA, CRM, and digital automation solutions for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. Serving over 600 brands across 30+ countries, SANeForce empowers field forces with mobile-first tools, real-time insights, and doctor-centric engagement strategies to drive smarter growth.

  • Wednesday Season 2 Part 2: A Darkly Brilliant Return That Fumbles Under Pressure

    Wednesday Season 2 Part 2: A Darkly Brilliant Return That Fumbles Under Pressure

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 3: Netflix’s crown jewel of gothic quirk, Wednesday, has finally dropped its Season 2 Part 2, and the reactions are as divided as the Addams family at a PTA meeting. The final four episodes arrived with thunderclaps of anticipation, a storm cloud of hype, and, depending on whom you ask, a drizzle of disappointment. While Tim Burton’s stylistic fingerprints remain all over the screen, fans and critics alike are finding themselves caught between awe at the spectacle and sighs at the storytelling stumbles.

    The second half of this sophomore season promised closure, escalated tension, and enough spooky theatrics to keep Nevermore Academy buzzing. What it delivered, however, was more of a mixed potion: gorgeously eerie on the outside, occasionally messy in the middle, and just tantalising enough to keep audiences hoping for redemption in a potential Season 3.

    A Review Both Bewitching and Blundering

    Netflix’s Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 arrives like a macabre masquerade—stylishly haunting, costumed in gothic extravagance… yet occasionally tripping over its own cloak. Directed in part by Tim Burton and packed with twists, the finale unfolds with flair. But beneath the dramatic lighting, the narrative sometimes feels, well… frayed.

    Season

    The Positives: Where the Moonlight Glitters

    • Visual Opulence and Eerie Atmosphere
      These final four episodes are a feast for the eyes—darkly ornate, delightfully uncanny—encapsulating the series’ essential charm. Burton’s signature surreal touches grace the screen once again, framing each scene like a gothic painting.

    • Central Bonds That Ground the Chaos
      Despite the plot’s spirals, the emotional core, especially the blossoming friendship between Wednesday and Enid, retains its warmth. It’s a welcome counterbalance to all the supernatural shenanigans.

    • Standout Moments and Performances
      Jenna Ortega continues to hold court with icy panache, even as chaos reigns. And yes, the zombie boy (Slurp) manages to charm more than some of the human characters. Plus, Gwendoline Christie’s return sparks delight—though the trailer spoiled the surprise, robbing the twist of full impact.

    Season

    The Negatives: When the Spell Wanes

    • Plot Overreach and Pacing Missteps
      More isn’t always better. Some story threads feel stretched into awkward tangles, muddling suspense instead of heightening it. The ambition is there, but the execution occasionally fumbles.

    • Narrative Coil That Sometimes Unravels
      The finale certainly introduces cliffhangers for a third season, but does it do so with finesse? Critics argue the conclusion is stylish but overzealous, generating tension more through spectacle than storytelling.

    Episode Highlights & Reader Reactions

    • “A Murder of Crows” (Ep 2 Recap)
      Wednesday investigates gruesome murders, zombie sidekicks pop up, and secret identities simmer under campus lights. Performances by Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers shine—when the script allows them to—but the writing frequently leans on spectacle over subtlety.

    • Fan Allegiance and Frustrations
      Hardcore fans are buzzing—but not always in praise. Some X users griped about the split-season format and icing-left-too-soon effect: “So we waited this long for only 4 episodes?”
      Others lamented Netflix’s teaser spoilers—especially the return of Christie’s Principal Weems, which might have landed harder if viewers discovered it in-story.

    Balancing Act: What Works and What Wobbles

    Here’s a quick look at the yin and yang of Part 2:

    What Works Well What Trips Up the Throne Room
    Visual direction and gothic styling Convoluted plotting and pacing issues
    Jenna Ortega’s deadpan intensity Over-stuffed narrative threads
    Emotional resonance with Enid’s relationship Spoiled surprises reducing punch
    Fun character moments (Slurp, cameo flavor) Cliffhangers pushed more than they earned

    Season

    Parting Words (See What I Did There?)

    So, does Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 deliver, or derail? Answer: Yes, to both. It’s a lavish Frankenstein’s monster of gothic glory and narrative fraying, stitched together with charisma and a side of theatrics. The visuals are arresting, the performances potent, but at times you wish the plot paddled less panic and more purpose.

    Much like Wednesday herself, you’re enthralled, occasionally exasperated, and always entertained. If your gothic curiosity is piqued, binge away. If you’re waiting for narrative neatness… maybe squint just a little.

  • Upcoming IPOs India: SEBI Greenlights 13 Bold Plays

    Upcoming IPOs India: SEBI Greenlights 13 Bold Plays

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 3: The IPO calendar just went from busy to flat-out electric. SEBI has cleared 13 companies to hit the primary market, and the headliners are big names: boAt, Urban Company, Juniper Green, Jain Resource Recycling, and Mouri Tech. Together, they’re lining up to raise over ₹21,000 crore.

    When India’s markets regulator waves the green flag, investors should pay attention. Let’s break down the heavyweights in this upcoming IPO lineup.

    01 boAt IPO: Round Two for Imagine Marketing

    boAt’s parent company, Imagine Marketing, is finally stepping back into the IPO ring. After shelving its 2022 plans, the Warburg Pincus-backed consumer electronics brand is aiming higher this time, a valuation of around ₹13,000 crore, according to filings.

    This IPO will be a second shot at going public, and the timing couldn’t be sharper. With wearables, audio, and lifestyle tech booming in India, boAt is betting investors are ready to back its growth story.

    02 Urban Company IPO: Services Giant Goes Public

    Urban Company is no startup experiment. The home and beauty services platform is dropping its IPO on September 10, aiming to raise ₹1,900 crore.

    • Issue Size: ₹1,900 crore
    • Fresh Issue: 4.58 crore shares worth ₹472 crore
    • Offer for Sale (OFS): 13.86 crore shares worth ₹1,428 crore
    • Price Band: ₹98–103 per share
    • Timeline: Opens Sept 10, closes Sept 12, listing expected Sept 17 on BSE and NSE

    Kotak Mahindra Capital is leading the charge, with MUFG Intime India as registrar. If demand matches hype, Urban Company could set the tone for this IPO season.

    03 Juniper Green IPO: Betting on Renewable Power

    Juniper Green Energy, based in Gurugram, is ready to bring clean power to the markets. The renewable energy producer filed its DRHP in July 2025 and plans to raise up to ₹3,000 crore.

    The proceeds are earmarked to cut borrowings worth ₹2,250 crore. That’s not just financial housekeeping, it’s a signal the company wants to sharpen its balance sheet while scaling solar, wind, hybrid, and dispatchable renewable projects.

    Backed by Juniper Renewable Holdings, this IPO will put India’s green energy ambitions directly in the portfolios of retail and institutional investors alike.

    04 Jain Resource Recycling IPO: Betting on Scrap to Scale

    Recycling might not sound glamorous, but Jain Resource Recycling has real numbers on its side. SEBI has approved its ₹2,000 crore IPO, split between a fresh issue of ₹500 crore and an OFS worth ₹1,500 crore.

    The company is in the business of turning non-ferrous metal scrap into usable products, think lead, copper, and aluminium alloys. With India’s manufacturing ecosystem hungry for raw material, this listing could ride the sustainability wave.

    DAM Capital, ICICI Securities, Motilal Oswal, and PL Capital are running point as lead managers.

    05 Mouri Tech IPO: Global Tech Play

    Mouri Tech has also secured the regulator’s nod to raise ₹1,500 crore. This marks its second attempt, after an earlier DRHP in 2024.

    • Fresh Issue: Up to ₹250 crore
    • OFS: Up to ₹1,250 crore

    The Hyderabad-based IT services firm plans to channel proceeds into its U.S. subsidiary MT USA and pay down debt. With Indian IT continuing to command global respect, Mouri Tech is angling to cash in on investor appetite.

    Why This Matters for Investors

    Thirteen IPOs in one wave show India’s equity markets are not just liquid, but buzzing with companies confident enough to go public. For retail investors, the choice set just widened, from wearables to renewables, scrap recycling to tech services.

    It’s also a reminder of how SEBI’s nod is the ultimate green light. When the regulator clears 13 companies at once, the message is clear: buckle up.

  • Streaming Shake-Up: Netflix’s September 2025 Overhaul Marks the End of Comfort Classics

    Streaming Shake-Up: Netflix’s September 2025 Overhaul Marks the End of Comfort Classics

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 3: When Netflix makes the decision to break up with “clean-out-the-closet” fashion, it seems like dumping your favorite ex—hurts, is messy, but somehow freeing. This September, the streaming giant is saying goodbye to dozens of titles in both the US and UK catalogues. Some departures hurt (The Notebook, The Good Place), while others leave you grumbling, “Eh, won’t miss it.”

    The Good, the Bad… and the “Seriously, Netflix?”

    The Negative Headlines (Or, Why This Feels Like a Breakup)

    • Farewell, comfort classics: From The Notebook to V for Vendetta, The Holiday to Sicario, beloved cinematic staples are ghosting us by September 1. 

    • Iconic TV wanders off: The Good Place (all four seasons), Chappelle’s Show—gone, just like that.

    • Genre variety: Horror (Sinister, Us), comedy (Anchorman, Bee Movie), action (Mad Max: Fury Road), plus animations and more, the purge is broad, brutal, and kinda Bono.

    • No warning bells in the UK: While US viewers see removal notices, UK users often face the mysterious vanishing-of-content hustle without warning.

    The Silver Linings (Because Every Cloud Has… PR Spin)

    • Streaming evolution, baby: Netflix isn’t just making room for your next binge-worthy obsession, they’re refining their library so your algorithm has fresh fodder.

    • Revisiting hidden gems: This is your cue to revisit underrated delights like Burn After Reading or Red Eye before they slip into the ether.

    • Curated detox: Ask a streamer: “Why remove content?” Netflix might answer: “More new originals coming… soon.” And yes, we believe them (mostly).

  • US Federal AI Adoption: 1 Great Deal, $3.1 Billion in Savings

    US Federal AI Adoption: 1 Great Deal, $3.1 Billion in Savings

    Microsoft and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) have unveiled an overarching partnership that will leverage AI to expedite the adoption of AI by the US federal government in a historic agreement that marks the dawn of a new era in public sector technology. The deal will transform the way federal agencies work, simplify services, and provide tremendous cost savings to the taxpayers, estimated at more than 6 billion dollars after three years and at 3.1 billion dollars within the first year.

    This partnership is not a mere software acquisition; it is a strategic step to place the American government at the center of AI adoption. The core of the agreement is one year of Microsoft 365 Copilot at no extra charge to government workers working under the high-security G5 license. This project is a direct answer to the AI Action Plan of the administration, which focuses on ensuring rapid and safe implementation of modern artificial intelligence to improve all aspects of services to citizens, as well as advanced data analysis.

    The technological infrastructure of the government is a fragmented landscape, too long, with systems that are too different to work together. OneGov, the model that this deal promotes, is expected to break through these barriers by taking advantage of the federal government as an aggregate buyer.

    FAS Commissioner Joshua Gruenbaum described this as a paradigm shift in federal procurement that is saving the federal government vast amounts of money by cutting costs by taking advantage of the purchasing power of the entire federal government. This method allows access to the latest AI tools, but in addition, it offers substantial discounts on Azure cloud services and removes data transfer expenses, which have long posed a barrier to cooperation among agencies.

    Enhancing Efficiency and Strengthening Security for the US federal government

    The immediate effect of this initiative will be experienced within government departments as workers will access the tools that could automate the most tedious processes, including the need to draft an email, summarise a document, and handle data. With these basic tasks dumped, federal employees will be able to spend more time and effort on more important, more mission-driven work that demands human judgment and skills. This emphasis on efficiency is a central principle of the deal, and one that aims at changing the way government operates on a ground level.

    Nevertheless, there are intrinsic security issues around the expedited adoption of artificial intelligence in the US at the federal level. The agreement takes proactive steps to deal with these problems on the basis of sound security measures. Microsoft has confirmed that its fundamental cloud and AI services are already FedRAMP High security authorized, a key requirement in working with sensitive government information.

    Although Copilot is yet to complete full certification as a FedRAMP High, it has already been given a provisional green light by the Department of Defence, further endorsing the government’s approach of a zero-trust security framework. The package likewise comes with superior security tools such as Microsoft Sentinel and Entra ID, a multi-layered protection against any possible cyber threat.

    GSA Deputy Administrator Stephen Ehikian has encouraged agencies to also adopt these new capabilities and said, “GSA is happy to collaborate with technology firms, such as Microsoft, to promote the use of AI throughout the federal government, which is a major priority of the Trump Administration. This future-oriented strategy highlights an investment in delivering government workers with transformative AI tools that simplify operations, reduce costs and improve outcomes.

    US

    Microsoft is not just supplying the technology; it is also investing in its successful realisation. To help agencies incorporate and make successful use of the new tools, the company has invested an extra $20 million in support and training, including workshops. This is a promise that the technology will be utilised to its fullest benefits, finding additional opportunities to make waste reductions and to optimise operations.

    The Microsoft and the GSA partnership can be considered a real-life example of the effectiveness of the partnership between the two entities, the state and the corporation, when it comes to advancing technologies. It is a provocative step that puts the U.S. government at the forefront of AI regulation and use and shows a strong interest in modernization and efficiency.

    Microsoft Chairman and CEO, Satya Nadella, said that with this new agreement, we would assist federal agencies to deploy AI and digital technologies to better meet citizen services, enhance security, and save taxpayers over 3 billion dollars in the first year alone. This historic agreement is one of the key steps to creating a more responsive, secure and efficient digital era government.
