  • Women on the Move: Why Safe Spaces Matter More Than Ever for Women Travellers

    Women on the Move: Why Safe Spaces Matter More Than Ever for Women Travellers

    New Delhi [India], March 12: Every journey should begin with excitement, not concern. Yet for many women travelling across Indian cities, safety often becomes the first thing they think about, whether it is stepping out late, commuting alone, or checking into a hotel in an unfamiliar neighbourhood.

    Around Women’s Day this year, Brevistay highlighted an important message through its campaign: women deserve spaces where they feel secure, respected, and comfortable, no matter where their journey takes them.

    As more women travel independently for work, leisure, and personal exploration, the demand for safe and trustworthy accommodation options has grown significantly. A recent YouGov survey revealed that more than half of urban Indian women feel unsafe walking alone at night, highlighting the everyday safety concerns many still face. At the same time, travel trends show that more women are embracing solo travel and exploring cities on their own terms, signalling a shift toward greater independence.

    As women’s travel patterns continue to shift, safety is not just a social conversation but a responsibility for businesses that cater to travellers. Recognising this need, Brevistay has focused on building a hospitality ecosystem where safety, privacy, and reliability remain central to the travel experience, particularly for women navigating cities on their own.

    Creating Safe and Trusted Stay Options

    One of the biggest concerns for women travellers is the uncertainty of unfamiliar accommodations. A hotel stay, especially for a few hours between travel schedules or meetings, should offer comfort and peace of mind rather than additional stress.

    Brevistay addresses this through a careful partner verification process. Hotels listed on the platform undergo checks for service quality, hygiene standards, and safety protocols before they are onboarded. This helps ensure that travellers can confidently choose accommodations that meet defined safety and hospitality benchmarks.

    Many partner hotels also maintain surveillance in common areas, trained staff, and secure access points. While these measures are standard for quality hospitality, their presence becomes particularly meaningful for women travellers, especially those arriving late at night, travelling alone, or unfamiliar with the city.

    Equally important is the idea of respectful hospitality. For many women, the experience of checking into a hotel can sometimes involve unnecessary questions or uncomfortable interactions. Brevistay has worked with its partner properties to encourage smooth and discreet check-in processes, supported by transparent booking policies and clear identification requirements.

    This allows guests to focus on their travel plans rather than worry about awkward situations at the front desk. Whether someone is taking a break between meetings, waiting out a long layover, or simply looking for a quiet place to rest during the day, the experience is designed to remain hassle-free and respectful.

    Supporting Women’s Mobility and Independence

    Travel rarely unfolds exactly as planned. Flights get delayed, meetings extend beyond schedule, and itineraries change unexpectedly. During such moments, quick and reliable support can make all the difference, especially for travellers navigating unfamiliar surroundings.

    Brevistay provides round-the-clock customer assistance to help guests resolve booking queries, check-in concerns, or last-minute changes. Having accessible support ensures that travellers can address issues quickly and continue their journey without unnecessary stress.

    Safe accommodation options also play an important role in encouraging women to move freely through cities. Much of the conversation around women’s safety in India tends to focus on restrictions, what women should avoid doing or where they should not go. But the larger goal should be to build environments where women feel confident enough to explore opportunities, travel for work, and experience new places independently.

    Platforms like Brevistay are working to support that shift by offering flexible short-duration hotel bookings across multiple cities. Travellers can reserve rooms for three, six, or twelve hours, making it easier to find safe spaces during layovers, business trips, or quick city visits.

    As more women step out to explore the world on their own terms, access to safe and reliable travel infrastructure becomes increasingly important. Hospitality platforms, hotels, and service providers all have a role to play in creating environments that prioritise safety and respect.

    Women’s Day serves as a reminder not only to celebrate progress but also to recognise the work that still lies ahead. Ensuring that women feel secure in cities, workplaces, and travel environments requires collective effort, from policymakers and urban planners to businesses that shape everyday travel experiences.

    By placing safety, privacy, and reliability at the centre of its service model, Brevistay aims to contribute to a travel ecosystem where women can move through cities with greater confidence.

    Because true empowerment lies not only in opportunity, but in the freedom to pursue those opportunities without fear. When women feel safe during their journeys, travel becomes what it is meant to be, a way to independence, exploration, and new possibilities.

  • CognexiaAI Launches India’s First AI Native Legal Intelligence Platform, Announces Rs 540 Crore Global Contracts

    CognexiaAI Launches India’s First AI Native Legal Intelligence Platform, Announces Rs 540 Crore Global Contracts

    New Delhi [India], March 12: Artificial intelligence technology company CognexiaAI has announced the launch of CognexiaAI Legal, India’s first AI native legal intelligence platform designed to simplify legal processes, enhance transparency, and improve efficiency across the legal ecosystem. The announcement was made at a launch event attended by policymakers, legal experts, and industry leaders.

    Former Union Minister of State for External Affairs Meenakshi Lekhi, the chief guest, highlighted the growing importance of indigenous digital infrastructure in strengthening India’s legal and governance systems.

    According to the company, CognexiaAI Legal is a fully indigenous platform that ensures that sensitive legal and institutional data remain securely stored in India. The platform leverages advanced artificial intelligence, proprietary large language models, workflow automation, and advanced analytics to process complex legal documents and extract actionable insights.

    One of the key capabilities of the platform is its ability to analyse extensive legal documentation, including charge sheets running into thousands of pages, within minutes. Traditionally, reviewing such documents could take weeks or months. By significantly reducing the time required for analysis, the platform aims to help lawyers, judges, investigators, and citizens better understand legal processes and improve decision-making.

    CognexiaAI Legal has been designed to support a wide range of legal and regulatory functions, including arbitration, corporate law, taxation, regulatory compliance, human resources compliance, and judicial case management. The platform enables faster document review, improved compliance tracking, and structured legal insights for both public institutions and private enterprises.

    Dr. Nirmal Singh, Founder and Chairman of CognexiaAI, said the launch represents a shift from generic artificial intelligence toward domain-focused legal intelligence. He emphasised that India must move beyond being only a consumer of global technology and become a creator of advanced digital intelligence systems tailored to its own institutional and regulatory frameworks.

    “The vision behind CognexiaAI Legal is to build intelligent digital systems that understand the depth and complexity of Indian law. By combining AI, large language models, and advanced analytics, we are creating a platform that can transform how legal information is processed and understood,” he said.

    The platform has been built on an Industry 5.0 architecture, integrating artificial intelligence, proprietary large language models, digital twin frameworks, IoT ecosystems, and intelligent automation with CognexiaAI’s cloud infrastructure and enterprise data centers. This architecture is designed to enable scalability across government departments, legal institutions, law firms, and large enterprises.

    Alongside the launch of its legal intelligence platform, CognexiaAI also announced that it has secured enterprise contracts worth ₹540 crore in Australia and New Zealand. These agreements represent one of the largest overseas contract wins for an Indian AI native ERP and CRM platform in recent years.

    The newly secured contracts span multiple sectors including construction, hospitality, manufacturing, automotive services, travel, architecture, jewelry, and healthcare. According to the company, these partnerships reflect the increasing demand for AI driven enterprise solutions in global markets.

    Following these agreements, CognexiaAI’s global client base has expanded to approximately 15,000 organizations, supported by more than 5,000 international channel partners. The company currently operates across several international markets including Australia, New Zealand, the UAE, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Nigeria, and Ghana.

    Industry experts believe that the launch of CognexiaAI Legal and the company’s growing international footprint reflect the rapid expansion of India’s artificial intelligence ecosystem. As businesses and governments worldwide accelerate digital transformation, indigenous AI platforms developed in India are increasingly gaining recognition in global technology markets.

    With the introduction of CognexiaAI Legal, the company aims to contribute to a more transparent, efficient, and technology driven legal framework while strengthening India’s position as a global hub for advanced artificial intelligence innovation.

    Teerth Realties Taps Pune’s Emerging Growth Corridors With Commercial and Residential Developments

    New Delhi [India], March 12: Pune’s real estate market is witnessing a steady transformation as expanding infrastructure, growing IT hubs, and improved connectivity continue to reshape the city’s property landscape. Micro-markets across western Pune, including Baner, Balewadi, Sus, and Hinjewadi, are emerging as key growth corridors, attracting both residential buyers and commercial occupiers seeking well-connected and future-ready developments.

    The rising demand for Grade-A office spaces, integrated residential communities, and flexible work environments is prompting developers to focus on projects that align with Pune’s evolving urban ecosystem. Businesses are increasingly prioritizing modern office infrastructure near technology parks, while homebuyers are opting for residential communities that offer connectivity to employment hubs and key infrastructure.

    Amid this shift, Teerth Realties has been actively developing residential and commercial projects across Pune’s western corridor, focusing on locations that benefit from proximity to IT clusters and major connectivity routes. The company has delivered more than 2 million square feet of real estate developments, spanning residential communities, commercial office spaces, and institutional projects, while also securing land parcels for future developments.

    One of its notable commercial developments, Teerth Technospace in Baner, reflects the growing demand for technology-driven workspaces in Pune’s IT corridor. Spread across approximately 350,000 square feet, the project offers modern IT and ITES office spaces with connectivity to key business districts such as Hinjewadi, Wakad, Aundh, and Pashan.

    On the residential side, the company has developed projects such as Teerth Avila in Sus, catering to the increasing preference for well-planned communities located close to both natural surroundings and employment hubs. The development features multiple residential towers, landscaped open spaces, and lifestyle-oriented amenities designed for contemporary urban living.

    Mr. Vijay Raundal, Teerth Realties, Managing Directorsaid the city’s evolving infrastructure and expanding IT ecosystem are creating new opportunities for developers focused on long-term value creation.

    “Pune is entering a new phase of urban growth driven by infrastructure upgrades and the expansion of IT and business corridors. Developers today need to focus on projects that combine strategic location, connectivity, and quality development to create spaces that support both businesses and communities,” Mr. Vijay Raundal said.

    As Pune continues to strengthen its position as one of India’s leading technology and business destinations, developers aligning their projects with infrastructure growth and evolving lifestyle needs are expected to play a key role in shaping the city’s next phase of real estate development. With its presence across Pune’s expanding western corridor, Teerth Realties is positioning its developments to align with these emerging market trends.

    Thousands from India and abroad celebrated the festival with organic mud

    Mudfest organizers Arnab Moitra and Krish Wadhwani jointly shared that this is the first event of its kind in India that promotes celebrating traditional Dhuleti in an organic way. Instead of chemical colours, Multani mitti and natural soil were used, allowing people to enjoy the festival in a safe and distinctive manner. They also mentioned that just like people travel to Spain to participate in the famous La Tomatina festival, Mudfest too aims to gain international recognition in the future, encouraging people to visit Surat specially to experience it.
