This move strengthens TIFIN's capabilities in natural language AI and enables around-the-clock development from its teams in the U.S., Spain, and India.
As financial services become increasingly conversational, as enterprise clients have a geographically dispersed user base, and as personalized interactions become increasingly important, the ability to serve users in their native languages is a strong advantage to building AI applications that drive adoption and trust. This capability is also allowing TIFIN to start serving clients in regions such as Japan.
This growth reflects TIFIN's strategy to tap into globally dispersed AI talent. The newly formed 10-person team in India adds to the existing AI talent in the US and brings deep specialization in financial LLMs and multilingual capabilities — a foundation for expanding TIFIN's AI products to international markets. The India team has already contributed to breakthroughs in agent-driven productivity tools and multilingual experiences in the finance domain. A recent paper published by the team also won 3rd place in SemEval (solving a multi-lingual challenge).
'Our mission is to improve wealth outcomes through accessible, personalized AI,' said Uttung Malkan, Chief Operating Officer for TIFIN India. 'Building this multilingual team in India expands our ability to do that — faster, smarter, and for more people globally.'
'With product teams distributed across the U.S., Spain, and India, we're able to move faster and tap global AI talent more effectively,' said Kiran Nambiar, TIFIN Partner and CEO of MyFi, TIFIN's consumer brand in India. 'Over time, this structure gives us a durable advantage as LLM talent becomes increasingly decentralized.'
TIFIN's AI teams are embedded across its product companies such as Magnifi, @Work, and Sage supporting AI assistants and agent-based workflows for enterprise clients. The company continues to invest in applied AI research, model fine-tuning, and LLM-driven product innovation to meet the evolving needs of asset managers, wealth firms, and insurers. TIFIN has been recognized for its culture and talent by Vault's Fintech 100 Outstanding Employers, Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers, and is Great Place To Work Certified™.

The new reason state schools are falling behind private schools
State schools are significantly behind private institutions in embracing artificial intelligence, a new survey reveals, prompting calls for government action to bridge a growing "digital divide" among pupils. A report by the social mobility charity Sutton Trust indicates that independent schools, often in wealthier areas, possess greater resources and can afford to invest in more sophisticated AI solutions. The findings, drawn from a Teacher Tapp poll of over 10,000 teachers across England, show a stark contrast: 45 per cent of private school teachers have received formal AI training, compared to just 21 per cent in state schools – more than double the rate. The report highlights that private schools are "ahead of the game" on setting AI policies, dedicating staff to oversee its use, and providing comprehensive training and resources. Further disparities emerged in AI usage, with 17 per cent of state school teachers reporting no AI use whatsoever, against only 8 per cent in private schools. Moreover, private schools are three times more likely to have a clear, school-wide strategy for staff AI integration (27 per cent vs 9 per cent). The Sutton Trust is now urging the Government to intervene and ensure all pupils can access the benefits of AI, addressing this widening gap. Nearly a quarter (24 per cent) of state school teachers said they were not at all confident using AI tools in their role, compared to just 15 per cent of private school teachers, the poll suggested. Private school teachers were more likely than their state school peers to use AI for a number of tasks – including writing pupil reports (29 per cent vs 11 per cent), communicating with parents (19 per cent vs 11 per cent) and marking (12 per cent vs 7 per cent). The survey also found gaps within the state sector as teachers in schools with the most affluent intakes were more likely to report having had formal AI training than those with the least affluent (26 per cent vs 18 per cent). The charity is calling on the Government to closely monitor any inequalities in access and use of AI between schools. The Sutton Trust report said: 'Private schools or those in wealthier areas are likely to have greater access to resources, and therefore be able to afford to invest both time and money in more sophisticated AI solutions.' It added: 'Action is urgently needed by Government to ensure that AI acts as a gap-closer, rather than a further factor that exacerbates the already growing attainment gap between poorer students and their better-off peers.' Nick Harrison, chief executive of the Sutton Trust, said: 'It's startling how rapidly an AI digital divide is opening up in schools. 'This is a crucial time in integrating AI tools into teaching, yet private schools, and some of the most affluent state schools, are already forging ahead in a sort of digital wild west. 'If this isn't quickly tackled head on, schools serving the most disadvantaged pupils risk falling further behind. 'These tools can provide a range of benefits to overworked teachers, but their use is spread unevenly, with inequalities in training and appropriate guidance and monitoring. 'If action isn't taken to close these widening gaps, access to AI risks becoming the next major barrier to opportunity for disadvantaged young people. 'The type of school you go to shouldn't determine your chances of benefiting from AI in education.' Julie McCulloch, director of strategy and policy at the Association of School and College Leaders, said: 'We cannot afford to have AI technology in education descend into yet another example of haves and have-nots. 'The fact is that the technology, training and resources needed to utilise AI are expensive and require time and sufficient staffing. 'This puts schools at a disadvantage where these things are in short supply. 'We recognise that the Government is taking some steps to support the sector with the development of AI but schools are battling against the twin problems of funding and staffing crises which leaves many overwhelmed. 'We need to see a much more sustained and strategic investment in schools and colleges which gives them time to breathe and allows them to harness the potential benefits of this technology.'

Google partners with Youngkin and offers AI training courses to Virginia job seekers
Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced on Tuesday that Google will partner with his administration to provide free and low-cost artificial intelligence certification courses to Virginians as part of his office's ongoing effort to connect citizens to new jobs amid changes to the state's economy. The partnership, which he has described as an AI career launchpad, will provide Google-sponsored AI training courses for up to 10,000 Virginians at any given time, officials said at Google's office in the northern part of the state. The training opportunities will be listed on a job website that Youngkin launched earlier this year, in response to significant layoffs among federal workers by the Trump administration, including many workers from Virginia. 'All fields, all career movements somewhere along the way, are going to incorporate this next generation of technology,' Youngkin said at the news conference. The initiative comes with unemployment rising in Virginia, which has roughly 20,400 continued unemployment claims, state Secretary of Labor George' Bryan' Slater said after the news conference. Roughly 2,800 people initially filed unemployment claims during the first week of July, which is about 6.1 percent higher than the previous week. The AI webpage will feature the free courses as well as some low-cost learning opportunities, ranging 'from beginner friendly courses on AI fundamentals and practical workplace applications of artificial intelligence to bootcamps and degree programs offered by Virginia's leading-edge community colleges and universities,' according to the governor's office. Nicole Overley, commissioner of Virginia Works, said businesses have told her office that AI proficiency has become increasingly necessary in their industries. She said the training would help Virginians become competitive in the job markets where these very businesses are hiring. Overly confirmed that the training courses won't cost taxpayers anything and are being donated by Google. Bronagh Friel, head of partnerships at Google, said she was proud of the collaboration with the state. 'Google is committed to championing economic growth and opportunity in Virginia,' she said. ___ Olivia Diaz is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.
