  • HROne Launches One AI Suite – Featuring India’s First Employee AI Agent for HR Task Execution

    HROne Launches One AI Suite – Featuring India’s First Employee AI Agent for HR Task Execution

    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.

    HROne

    “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.”
    Karan Jain, Founder, HROne.
    HROne is Responding to a Changing HR Landscape

    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 At the same time, employees are struggling with outdated systems and expect workplace tools to work like the apps they use every day—instant, intuitive, and effortless.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.”

    – Magnum Gupta, Director of Product Management, HROne

    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.

  • From Bihar to Delhi: How a 20-Year-Old is Redefining Gen Z Fashion with DU Wears

    From Bihar to Delhi: How a 20-Year-Old is Redefining Gen Z Fashion with DU Wears

    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.

  • Mr. Madan Mohan Mohanka Honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award at CMA Management Excellence Awards 2025

    Mr. Madan Mohan Mohanka Honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award at CMA Management Excellence Awards 2025

    Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], April 26: Mr. Madan Mohan Mohanka, Chairman of TEGA Industries, was conferred the Lifetime Achievement Award at the prestigious CMA Management Excellence Awards 2025 in association with The Telegraph.

    In recognition of his visionary leadership, transformative contributions to the Indian manufacturing sector, and his lifelong commitment to excellence in management, Mr Madan Mohan Mohanka was honoured with this award.

    The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Mr. Madan Mohanka by Mr Indranil Banerjee, Vice President, Calcutta Management Association & Mr Sidhartha Roy, former President, Calcutta Management Association and CEO of Response India.

    Organized annually by the Calcutta Management Association (CMA)—an affiliate of the All India Management Association (AIMA)—the CMA Management Excellence Awards celebrate exemplary contributions in the field of management across various categories including Business Leadership, Corporate Leadership, Innovation Excellence, Emerging Leader, Public Service, and Lifetime Achievement.

    Speaking at the event, CMA dignitaries highlighted Mr. Mohanka’s pivotal role in building TEGA into a world leader in specialized industrial products, with a presence in over 70 countries. His journey as the founder and chairman of TEGA Industries is an inspiring story of entrepreneurial foresight, global expansion, and a values-driven business ethos.

    In his speech to the audience, Mr Mohanka emphasized that The Calcutta Management Association (CMA) has a unique opportunity to drive real change by focusing more actively on empowering women through management education and inclusive workplace practices.

    He said : “  While CMA’s work with corporate managers is commendable, it’s equally important to reach young women—especially those in high school and early college—who have little exposure to the world of management. Introducing them to leadership concepts through relatable stories and films can spark early interest and confidence. At the same time, true inclusion goes beyond employment. With caregiving still disproportionately falling on women, workplaces must offer support systems like professionally-run childcare facilities for children aged 1 to 12. This ensures women can grow professionally without compromising family responsibilities. Studies show that when women are part of the decision-making process, outcomes improve—thanks to their collaborative approach, long-term thinking, and emotional intelligence. Gender diversity, then, isn’t just about fairness; it’s about smarter, more effective leadership. CMA can champion this change—helping women become not just managers, but transformative leaders.”

    Mr. Mohanka’s early education began in a ‘pathshala’ with a tin shed and a mud floor with just  two teachers. Through his hard work and grit, he gained a degree in  Civil Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra and is from the 1967 MBA batch from Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad. IIM A also conferred upon him the Distinguished Alumnus Award on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the Institute.

    His contribution to Management education has been beneficial to students across generations. Mr Mohanka has shared 15 case studies for teaching at IIM Ahmedabad and it is of great pride to note that 7 have been accepted by Harvard Business School. He has also been instrumental in establishing a Case Centre in IIM Ahmedabad for promoting management writing , research and teaching methodologies.

    In 2023, A biography on Mr Mohanka’s life ‘I Did What I Had To Do’ by Anjana Dutt was released by Shri Narayana Murthy and Mr Mohanka has also authored a book on his mentor Professor Extraordinaire on his guru and teacher Prof V L Mote, a venerable acamadecian at IIM Ahmedabad.

    Mr. Mohanka expressed his heartfelt gratitude to CMA for the honour, dedicating the recognition to his team at TEGA, his mentors, and his family. He spoke about the evolving role of leadership in today’s dynamic business environment and emphasized the importance of innovation, resilience, and values in building institutions that last.

    The evening brought together leading names from industry, academia, and the management fraternity, reinforcing CMA’s commitment to fostering excellence and thought leadership in management practices across the region.

    Raisin Inaugurates First-Ever Flagship Store in Surat with Actress Nitanshi Goel

    Surat (Gujarat) [India], April 22:  Raisin, one of India’s fastest-growing contemporary ethnic and fusion wear brands, marked a major milestone with the grand opening of its first Exclusive Brand Outlet (EBO) in Surat. The celebratory launch was graced by popular actress Nitanshi Goel, who inaugurated the store and added a glamorous touch to the brand’s historic moment.

    Known for its timeless yet modern design sensibility, Raisin’s new flagship store is a physical embodiment of its vision—an immersive retail space that blends elegance, comfort, and contemporary ethnic fashion for the new-age Indian woman.

    Speaking at the event, Vikash Pacheriwal, Co-Founder of Raisin, said,

    “Opening our first EBO in Surat—the city where it all started—is a proud and emotional moment for us. This store represents everything Raisin stands for, and with Nitanshi joining us, it truly feels like a celebration of dreams turning into reality.”

    Atul Gupta, Franchise Partner of the Surat store, added,

    “I’m thrilled to be part of Raisin’s journey and to bring this flagship experience to life. This is not just a store, it’s a gateway to the future of fashion retail in India, and we can’t wait to welcome our customers.”

    With over 250 Multi-Brand Outlet (MBO) touchpoints across India, Raisin’s leap into the EBO format signals a bold new phase. The Surat flagship store offers the complete Raisin collection—from elegant ethnic sets and everyday essentials to stylish fusion pieces—catering to the versatile wardrobe needs of modern Indian women.

    Flagship

    As part of its growth roadmap, Raisin plans to launch 25 more EBOs across the country by March 2026 and is actively inviting franchise partners to join its expansion journey.

    The grand launch event saw an enthusiastic turnout of customers, influencers, and media, making it a landmark day for the brand as it continues its evolution from a homegrown label to a national fashion force.
