  • DaVinci’s Global Play: Ignis AI and the Next Chapter of Industrial Intelligence

    DaVinci’s Global Play: Ignis AI and the Next Chapter of Industrial Intelligence

    Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], December 22: In the steel industry confronting rising energy costs, volatile raw-material conditions, and mounting sustainability pressures, a new intelligence layer has emerged. At its center is Ignis AI, a furnace decision engine developed under the leadership of Aman Rizvi, Head of Product & Strategy at DaVinci — the U.S.-headquartered AI-Native MES platform shaping next-generation steel operations.

    While Ignis AI stands out as a technical breakthrough, its real story is inseparable from the unusual career arc of the person behind it — a technologist shaped by deep AI experience, venture building, and strategic roles across banking, fintech, and global technology.

    A Background Shaped by Leadership, Learning, and Building

    Aman’s journey spans technology, finance, AI engineering, and large-scale transformation, but it is the combination — not the chronology — that makes him distinct.

    He has led strategy functions for major fintech and financial institutions, guiding digital transformation programs, data-led modernization, and AI-backed risk operations. This exposure to highly regulated environments gave him a rare ability to design systems where reliability, precision, and transparency matter as much as innovation — a mindset that later shaped Ignis AI’s architecture.

    His entrepreneurial experience also anchors his perspective. Aman previously built and exited a technology venture — a journey that taught him how to move from idea to product, from prototype to revenue, and from uncertainty to scale. These lessons sit beneath every decision in Ignis AI’s design: clarity, speed, measurable value, and customer reality.

    Today he continues his academic pursuit at one of India’s most respected institutions, the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, strengthening the strategic, financial, and leadership frameworks that complement his product and AI expertise. Though he rarely speaks about it publicly, the integration of academic thinking with on-ground industrial work has become core to how he frames long-term product strategy for DaVinci.

    Turning Furnace Data Into Decisions: How Ignis AI Was Built

    Ignis AI originated not as a traditional software initiative, but as a fundamental question: Why does the most powerful asset inside a steel plant operate with the least intelligence?

    Across Aman’s work with plants in the U.S., Europe, India, and the Middle East, he saw the same pattern:

    Furnace behavior was predictable — yet predictions were rarely used. Operators carried enormous responsibility, often with limited real-time visibility.

    Energy optimization, carbon-oxygen balancing, and tap-to-tap times varied widely. Plants were drowning in data, but starved for actionable intelligence.

    Ignis AI was built to address these realities. Its architecture — fusing time-series modeling, refractory life prediction, foaming slag behavior analysis, anomaly detection, and thermodynamic digital twins — reflects the rigor of someone accustomed to building systems that cannot fail.

    DaVinci: A U.S.-Led Platform With Global Ambition

    Ignis AI is one of the flagship intelligence modules within DaVinci, the U.S.-based MES and industrial AI platform led by CEO Arvind Nerella. Under Arvind’s leadership, DaVinci has established itself as an execution-focused, globally scalable platform, while its AI-first strategy and furnace intelligence direction have been driven by Aman Rizvi, who oversees product vision, platform strategy, and applied AI innovation.

    Together, the leadership team has positioned DaVinci as a system built not merely to digitize operations, but to embed intelligence directly into the metallurgical decision loop.

    The platform integrates:

    • IoT and edge AI for real-time equipment intelligence
    • Advanced MES modules (production, quality, inventory, compliance
    • Billet and pellet tracking intelligence
    • AI-led decision systems built specifically for complex metallurgical workflows

    Aman leads the strategic charter of these transformations — from product roadmap and international expansion to partnerships across the GCC, India, and North America. His blended past in AI systems, finance, and startup execution gives DaVinci a level of strategic depth uncommon in traditional industrial software.

    Aman’s Talk With Georgia at the Fastmarkets Steel Conference, Dubai

    During the Fastmarkets Steel Conference in Dubai, Aman joined Georgia for a widely shared podcast conversation on the future of AI in steel manufacturing. The discussion touched on:

    • Why steel plants globally are at an operational crossroads

    He noted that volatility in materials and energy makes human-only decision-making insufficient.

    • The rise of the AI-augmented operator

    Aman described how operators will not be replaced — instead, they gain a second layer of intelligence that helps them make significantly better decisions inside the melt shop.

    • The American philosophy behind DaVinci

    He spoke about DaVinci’s role as a U.S.-led, globally deployed AI platform designed to unify operational data and decision science.

    • The origin of Ignis AI

    Aman explained how the furnace became the natural starting point for applying real-time AI in metallurgy.

    What resonated most was not the technology — but the clarity with which he connected business strategy, AI capability, and plant-level realities. It was the perspective of someone who has built ventures, worked with banks, collaborated with global engineering teams, and now applies that cross-disciplinary skillset to one of the world’s oldest industries.

    A Leader Redefining the Convergence of AI, Industry, and Strategy

    • Aman represents a new class of industrial AI leaders — those who combine: Technical depth from cloud, AI, and engineering
    • Strategic maturity refined through fintech and financial system transformation
    • Entrepreneurial instinct gained from building ventures ground-up
    • Global industry exposure through plant visits and international partnerships
    • Formal management education through his IIM journey

    This convergence is rare — and it shows in how Ignis AI and DaVinci are rapidly gaining traction across markets seeking reliability, intelligence, and measurable operational impact.

    Aman’s work signals a broader shift:

    The future of steelmaking will not be defined by bigger furnaces, but by smarter ones.

  • Forbes India Features Designer Gaurav Katta Among Game-Changing Leaders to Know

    Forbes India Features Designer Gaurav Katta Among Game-Changing Leaders to Know

    New Delhi [India], December 20: At a time when fast fashion continues to dominate the global industry, designer Gaurav Katta has emerged as a quiet yet significant force in preserving India’s artisanal heritage. Through his label, Katta has consistently focused on reviving traditional craftsmanship while adapting it thoughtfully for contemporary luxury.

    His work is deeply rooted in India’s craft clusters, where he collaborates closely with skilled artisans to sustain and reintroduce time-honoured techniques that are gradually fading. By bridging heritage with modern design sensibilities, Katta’s creations retain cultural authenticity while speaking to an international audience.

    A defining element of the Gaurav Katta label is its use of real silver zardosi embroidery, a centuries-old technique historically associated with royalty. Beyond ornamentation, zardosi once functioned as a form of wealth preservation, with precious metal threads woven into garments, making them enduring objects of artistic and material value. Katta’s continued use of this craft reflects a long-term commitment to preserving its integrity while recontextualising it within modern couture.

    For Katta, fashion is not merely an aesthetic pursuit but a medium of storytelling where texture and technique meets tradition. His approach ensures that the artisans behind these crafts receive recognition and livelihood. In recognition of his contribution to Indian fashion and craftsmanship, Gaurav Katta was recently featured in Forbes India’s November–December 2025 edition, under the article “Game-Changing Leaders You Should Know About.” The feature marks an important milestone and is regarded by the designer as an immense honour.

    Looking ahead, Katta plans to expand his presence internationally, with aspirations to showcase his work in Paris and New York. His vision is to position Indian heritage at the centre of global luxury which will redefine couture as something rooted in legacy, craftsmanship, and enduring cultural value.

  • TANTOM Enters Its Third Year with ‘The Vegan Skin’ Capsule — An Ethical Outerwear Narrative

    TANTOM Enters Its Third Year with ‘The Vegan Skin’ Capsule — An Ethical Outerwear Narrative

    New Delhi [India], December 18: TANTOM, an élevé lifestyle fashion brand, is wrought from boundless ambition and a singular expression of individuality. Its meticulously refined aesthetic blends cultivated urban luxury, elevated preppy, and luxe essentials—an evolving design language that now finds expression as the brand marks its second anniversary with The Vegan Skin Capsule.

    This collection marks a shift toward highly specialised garment construction, featuring articles that are rarely seen in the ethical fashion space, such as the Vegan Leather Puffer Jacket and Malay Python-inspired textures.

    The Mastery of Form: Transcending the Conventional

    While much of the industry remains anchored in mass-produced basics, Tantom has spent its first two years perfecting a reputation for high-concept design. The new capsule collection demonstrates the brand’s ability to replicate the complex aesthetics of animal textures through entirely ethical, modern engineering:

    • The Vegan Leather Puffer: A complex fusion of high-grade vegan leather and technical outerwear construction, offering a distinct aesthetic.
    • The Malay Python Hoodie: A standout piece utilising intricate printing and textile techniques to achieve a high-luxury exotic look without animal harm.
    • Vegan Fur Jackets: Richly textured outerwear designed to provide the warmth and weight of traditional fur through advanced synthetic craftsmanship.

    Defining the Tantom Framework: Capsules and Essentials

    As the brand matures, under the vision of Founder Mr Rajveer Singh, TANTOM has organised its catalog into two key categories, establishing a clear and refined structure to serve a global audience better:

    • Capsule Collections: These serve as the brand’s “innovation labs,” where unique, art-driven pieces like the Vegan Skin series are released in limited runs.
    • Essentials: A core line of high-quality, everyday luxury garments that focus on comfort and longevity.

    A Two-Year Journey Toward a Global Vision

    Since founding TANTOM, Mr Singh has remained focused on a singular objective: building a global fashion house from Rajasthan that competes on design, not just price. This two-year milestone celebrates the brand’s ability to scale while maintaining a level of product variety and detail that is difficult to find elsewhere.

    “Tantom was built to do what others aren’t doing,” says Rajveer. “Completing two years is a moment to look at our roadmap. We are moving beyond simple clothing to create specialised articles like our python-look hoodies and vegan leather puffers. Our focus remains on making an Indian brand a recognised name in global commerce through exclusivity and ethical responsibility.”

    Looking Forward: Scale and Social Impact

    As Tantom continues its journey, the brand’s growth is tied to a larger vision of national contribution:

    • Global Positioning: Taking the “Made in India” label into the luxury ethical markets of the world.
    • Employment: Creating opportunities for local artisans and professionals as the brand’s footprint expands.
    • Product Leadership: Continuing to release articles that challenge the status quo of the fashion industry.

    As Tantom enters this new era, it remains committed to the belief that the future of global fashion is not merely found in what we wear, but in the integrity and innovation behind the stitch.

  • From Government Bank Clerk to One of the Richest Astrologers in India: The Inspiring Journey of Mahesh Mankar

    From Government Bank Clerk to One of the Richest Astrologers in India: The Inspiring Journey of Mahesh Mankar

    New Delhi [India], December 18: Mahesh Mankar’s life story stands as one of India’s most compelling modern success narratives — a journey that began behind the desk of a government bank and rose to the heights of becoming one of the richest astrologers in India. His transformation reflects unwavering belief, relentless discipline, and a deep-rooted connection with India’s ancient occult sciences.

    Although Mahesh Mankar had a natural inclination towards Astrology, Numerology, and Vastu from an early age, family responsibilities led him to take up a stable government bank job. Stability, however, could not silence his calling. Destiny had larger plans in store.

    The Early Journey: A Bank Clerk with an Uncommon Calling

    Before gaining global recognition as a spiritual mentor and entrepreneur, Mahesh Mankar worked as a bank clerk in Nagpur. While his professional life revolved around routine banking responsibilities, his evenings were devoted to studying ancient scriptures, decoding charts, and deepening his understanding of occult sciences.

    What initially began as a personal pursuit soon turned into a mission.

    He started guiding friends, colleagues, and local residents. His predictions were known for their accuracy, his remedies for their practicality, and his guidance for its life-changing impact. Word of mouth spread rapidly, and his reputation grew organically.

    Recognising his true purpose, Mahesh Mankar made the boldest decision of his life — resigning from a secure government job to pursue Astrology full-time. That decision became the defining turning point of his journey.

    Rise to Becoming One of India’s Richest Astrologers

    Today, Mahesh Mankar is widely regarded as one of the richest and most influential astrologers in India. His success is built on knowledge, trust, innovation, and a visionary approach to spiritual entrepreneurship.

    From a modest middle-class background, he has created a powerful ecosystem spanning spiritual services, education, and products — serving clients and students across India and globally.

    Assets, Ventures, and Entrepreneurial Growth

    His journey of growth is reflected in his expansive ventures and lifestyle indicators, including premium real estate assets, luxury vehicles, and diversified investments across multiple sectors.

    More importantly, his success is anchored in the institutions and platforms he has built — combining spirituality with modern business practices.

    Asnuva: Redefining the Spiritual Products Ecosystem

    A cornerstone of Mahesh Mankar’s journey is Asnuva, an emerging hub for Occult Sciences and Spiritual Products. Built through self-belief and strategic vision, Asnuva is shaping a new-age spiritual marketplace.

    The venture focuses on:

    • Technology-enabled manufacturing

    • Eco-conscious and authentic spiritual products

    • Planned experience centres across major cities

    • A strong domestic and international distribution network

    • Sustainability-driven practices rooted in Indian traditions

    From daily pooja essentials to advanced occult tools, Asnuva is redefining trust, quality, and scale in the spiritual products industry.

    EdTech Impact: Educating Lakhs Across the World

    Beyond products and consultations, Mahesh Mankar has built one of the largest EdTech ecosystems in the occult sciences domain. Through structured courses, workshops, and mentorship programs, lakhs of students worldwide have been trained in Astrology, Numerology, and Vastu.

    This educational outreach has not only created a new generation of practitioners but has also positioned him as a global educator and thought leader in spiritual sciences.

    His strong digital presence across YouTube, Instagram, and online consultation platforms further amplifies his reach and influence.

    A Modern Spiritual Leader with a Global Vision

    What sets Mahesh Mankar apart is his ability to blend ancient wisdom with modern execution. Over the years, he has:

    • Guided more than 2 lakh clients globally

    • Built a deeply engaged spiritual community

    • Created scalable, ethical, and sustainable business models

    • Established a trusted name across India and international markets

    A Journey That Redefines Destiny

    Mahesh Mankar’s rise from a government bank clerk to one of the richest astrologers in India is a powerful reminder that passion, when pursued with purpose, can transform destiny.

    His journey stands as an inspiration for millions — proving that when ancient wisdom meets modern vision, success follows naturally.

  • Wittypen Launches Zerply.ai and Wins Silver at MarTechAI Awards

    Wittypen Launches Zerply.ai and Wins Silver at MarTechAI Awards

    Pune (Maharashtra) [India], December 17: Wittypen, one of the leading content marketing and SEO company, has announced the launch of Zerply.ai, an AI platform designed to help brands understand and manage how they appear across AI-driven search and answer engines such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini.

    As AI systems increasingly influence how users discover brands, products, and information, Zerply addresses a growing gap in traditional SEO and analytics tools, which largely focus on web search results and keyword rankings rather than AI-generated responses.

    Zerply is built around a conversational interface that allows users to interact with complex visibility and SEO data using plain language. Rather than relying on multiple dashboards, teams can query the platform to understand how their brand appears across AI systems, how that presence is changing, and where competitors are gaining or losing ground.

    Beyond visibility tracking, the platform supports end-to-end SEO and content workflows. Users can ask Zerply.ai to analyze performance trends, identify structural or content-level issues, and generate clear, prioritized recommendations that would otherwise require manual analysis across several tools.

    Zerply also integrates first-party website data from sources such as Google Search Console, analytics platforms, and broader search and content trends. By combining these signals, the platform delivers data-backed insights and strategic guidance that typically depend on the involvement of experienced SEO and data specialists, presented directly through a conversational interface.

    Industry Recognition

    Zerply was recently awarded the Silver Medal in the “Emerging MarTech Innovator of the Year” category at the MarTechAI Awards 2025, held on December 10 in New Delhi.

    The MarTechAI Awards, presented by exchange4media, recognize innovation and measurable impact across the marketing technology ecosystem, including brands, agencies, and solution providers.

    The award was presented as part of an event celebrating developments in marketing technology and the increasing role of AI-driven platforms in shaping marketing strategies.

    According to Wittypen, Zerply.ai was developed in response to recurring challenges observed among marketing teams who lacked clarity on how their brands were represented in AI-generated answers and how to influence those outcomes.

    “There is no shortage of tools that can tell teams whether they appear in AI-generated answers,” said Preetesh Jain, Co-Founder and CTO of Wittypen. “The harder problem is understanding what to do next. Zerply was built to analyze visibility signals, website data, and trends together, surface concrete actions, apply fixes, and run audits, so teams can improve AI visibility without needing deep specialization or manual analysis.”

    Anshul Motwani, Co-Founder and CEO of Wittypen, added, “As discovery shifts from links to AI-generated answers, brands need a clearer understanding of how decisions are being influenced upstream. Zerply.ai helps businesses move from reactive SEO to proactive visibility and growth planning in an AI-first era.”

    Product Scope and Use Cases

    Zerply.ai is built to help marketing teams make sense of how AI platforms influence brand discovery and to translate that understanding into clear, practical actions. The platform addresses several common questions marketers are beginning to face as AI-driven answers become a regular part of the customer journey.

    Understanding brand and competitor presence in AI-driven discovery
    Zerply.ai helps brands see where and how they are being mentioned across AI search and answer platforms, how they are described, and in what context they appear. It also highlights gaps and inconsistencies such as missing information, outdated descriptions, or unclear positioning, while showing how competitors are being surfaced in similar AI responses. This gives marketing teams a clearer picture of their relative visibility and where corrective action or strategic improvement is needed.

    Tracking changes in AI visibility over time
    AI-generated answers and recommendations change frequently based on new data, content, and underlying LLMs. Zerply allows teams to track how their brand and competitor visibility evolves over time, helping them spot upward or downward trends, sudden changes, and the impact of SEO or content updates. This makes it easier for marketing teams to understand what is working, what is not, and where to focus next.

    Generate research-backed briefs, calendars and content in seconds
    Zerply.ai enables teams to generate content ideas, briefs, outlines, and content plans backed by real visibility signals, website analysis, and search trends. Instead of manually researching keywords, competitors, and performance data, teams can use conversational queries to produce ready-to-use content direction aligned with improving AI visibility and long-term SEO performance.

    Using website data to drive data-backed decisions
    Zerply.ai combines AI visibility signals with first-party website data such as Google Search Console, analytics, and broader search trends. This enables teams to access data-backed insights that would typically require experienced SEO and data specialists, presented in a form that is easier for in-house teams to understand and act on.

    The platform integrates with existing data sources and is designed for in-house marketing teams, agencies, and consultants working on organic growth and search strategy.

    Availability

    Zerply.ai is available with a 7-day free trial for its AI visibility features and a free plan with limited AI chat usage. No credit card is required to get started. For more information, visit https://zerply.ai
