ARM Embedded Technologies leases over four lakh sq ft with Bagmane in Bengaluru
ARM Embedded Technologies Pvt Ltd, the India arm of UK-based semiconductor and software design giant ARM Holdings, has leased over 4 lakh sq ft of Grade-A office space in Bagmane Constellation Business Park of the city to expand its operation. The space is in Taurus 4 (North Tower) block of the park, developed by Bagmane Constructions Pvt Ltd, and represents a fresh lease agreement, not a renewal or consolidation, said people aware of the development. According to the registered lease document shared by Propstack, a data analytic firm, the lease term spans 15 years, with a structured 15% rent escalation every three years, indicating ARM's long-term expansion strategy in India. The monthly rental is pegged at Rs102 per sq ft, translating to a monthly rent of approximately Rs 4.17 crore, or Rs 50 crore annually. Over the full 15-year lease term, ARM is expected to commit close to Rs1,000 crore in total rental payments, marking this as one of the most high-value, long-duration commercial leases signed in the country in recent quarters, said Propstack. The lease covers multiple levels within the building, which includes three basement levels, a ground floor, and 11 upper floors, providing ARM with space for current operations and future growth. The security deposit has been recorded at Rs 20.59 crore, reflecting the scale and seriousness of the engagement. Bagmane Constellation Business Park, located in the CBD-adjacent to the KR Puram-Marathahalli stretch, is a premium IT SEZ that has consistently attracted top-tier global tenants including Amazon, Boeing, and PwC. According to real estate experts, the deal underscores the growing institutional commitment to India by global technology firms, particularly in the semiconductor and embedded systems domain. As ARM plays a pivotal role in enabling global AI, IoT, and mobile computing technologies, this expansion points to increasing R&D and engineering activity being channelled through its India operations. 'This deal is significant not only in terms of size but also the tenure and financial commitment involved. A 15-year lease of over Rs 1,000 crore in value reflects clear confidence in India's innovation ecosystem and the long-term stability of Bengaluru 's commercial office market,' said a senior executive in the office leasing space. The lease comes at a time when the Indian commercial office market is witnessing strong absorption trends, especially from global capability centres (GCCs) in tech and life sciences. With new supply in Bengaluru expected to remain tight in the next few quarters, such large pre-commitments signal robust demand for quality real estate, particularly in core locations. With this deal, ARM joins a growing list of global technology firms committing long-term capital to India's innovation corridor, reinforcing the country's position as a critical node in the world's digital and semiconductor economy. It also aligns with India's growing importance in global semiconductor strategy. As nations diversify supply chains and invest in design-led innovation, companies like ARM are looking to deepen their talent presence in engineering hotspots like Bengaluru.

Portronics Beem 520 projector review: Big-screen fun on a budget
Rating: 3.5/5 Gamers and movie lovers are once again turning to projectors for that immersive 'cinematic' experience at home. The rise of compact LED projectors – that deliver impressive brightness and resolution without breaking the bank – is adding to this trend. Among them is the new Portronics Beem 520 , a smart LED projector that promises vibrant visuals, built-in streaming apps, and portable convenience—all for an affordable price of Rs 6,999. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Walgreens Keeps Quiet About This '9 Pills for $7' Generic Cialis Deal Friday Plans Get Offer Undo We've been using the Portronics Beem 520 for a while now, setting it up across different rooms (and even briefly on the balcony) to see how it handles various scenarios. Does it offer solid performance at this budget-friendly price point? Here's what we think: Design The Portronics Beem 520 comes bundled with a remote controller and a power adapter. The projector features a cylindrical minimalist design with a soft white finish. This gives it a clean, modern look and has been pleasing to the eyes since we first set it up. One of the first things we noticed was the built-in telescopic stand, which is a simple yet practical addition. Once we detached the projector's body from the telescopic stand, the speaker grille, as well as the power and other connectivity ports, appeared. The stand's length can be increased, and its base holds the points which can be used for wall or ceiling mounting. During a weekend movie marathon, the stand made it easy to adjust the angle of projection when switching from projecting onto a living room wall to a white ceiling late at night. Tiltable head and automatic vertical keystone correction saved time during setup; the image aligned properly even when we quickly placed the projector on a pile of books during an impromptu cricket match watch party. Despite its plastic build, the device has a decent touch and feel. It also makes the projector light and easy to carry around the house or even take outside. The ceiling-mountable option is a good plus for those who want a fixed setup. The screen projected by the Beem 520 can also be adjusted manually with the rotatable ring in front og the projector. Performance The Portronics Beem 520 delivers native 720p resolution and supports content up to 4K Ultra HD. In real-world use, we projected everything from YouTube music videos to a full 4K Marvel movie trailer, and the visuals were acceptably sharp for the price point, especially when the screen size was kept around 80 inches. The 2,200 lumens of brightness was good enough even during daytime, and pulling the curtains for darker scenes did enhance the experience. We tested screen sizes from 62 inches to over 85 inches. At a friend's housewarming, we set it up in their backyard after sunset, projecting onto a white bedsheet clipped to the wall, and the crowd loved the 'DIY drive-in theatre' vibe. The projector comes with OTT apps like Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, YouTube, and Prime Video. During testing, these worked fine for basic streaming, though the built-in interface sometimes felt laggy. We ended up connecting a Fire TV Stick for a smoother experience during longer watch sessions. Portronics Beem 520 supports two types of interface, the first one that appears on switching on the device another Desktop option which can be selected from the menu layout of the first one. The latter works similarly to the ones we can find on Android TVs. Portronics Beem 520 Smart LED Projector Review Setting up the projector was quite straightforward. It supports auto-keystone correction, so whenever we tilted or repositioned it, the image realigned on its own. This was especially handy when we shifted it from a coffee table to a higher shelf. If the image still looked a bit off, we were able to manually adjust the keystone from the settings with ease. This tweak came in handy while projecting on an uneven wall. Screen mirroring worked well, too. We tried it on both an Android phone and an iPhone. With Android, the built-in Miracast option got us going in seconds. For the iPhone, we used the iMotecast app. Just make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. We mirrored a few YouTube videos, and everything played smoothly. For the best clarity, we found that using the projector in a dark room made a big difference. Watching late at night in our living room brought out the colours and sharpness. We also recommend placing the projector about five feet above the ground for an optimal viewing angle. One thing we noticed after a few uses was that dust can build up inside the projector if the environment isn't clean. Since it uses open engine technology, it's best to keep it in a dust-free space. Also, if it seems to heat up, make sure there's at least two feet of space from the wall to allow proper airflow. Initially, we had it too close to the wall and noticed it running a bit warmer than expected. With just a little setup and some attention to placement, we found that this projector can deliver a really enjoyable viewing experience, whether you are binge-watching, catching a late-night movie, or streaming casual videos. The 3W speakers are sufficient for small rooms or late-night viewing. However, when projecting outdoors, we had to pair it with a Bluetooth speaker for louder, clearer sound. Connecting to Wi-Fi was equally smooth. We simply went into the network settings, selected our Wi-Fi, entered the password, and were ready to stream. We had a Netflix show running within minutes. Pairing a Bluetooth speaker was also hassle-free. We connected our portable speaker quickly and enjoyed a full movie with solid audio sync. HDMI and USB ports were tested with a laptop and a USB drive—no compatibility issues there. The Portronics Beem 520 doesn't have a built-in battery, so we kept it plugged in all the time. While this limits its portability outdoors, it's not a deal breaker. We managed fine with a long extension cord during the backyard movie night. Verdict The Portronics Beem 520 Smart LED projector delivers what it promises—big-screen entertainment at an affordable price. The compact size, decent brightness, and built-in apps make it a fun gadget for casual movie nights, watch parties, or even for creating an occasional backyard cinema. While the app interface and built-in audio have some limitations, the Rs 6,999 price tag makes this a very good value for those wanting a simple projector for home entertainment. It's also better to use it with an external streaming device and Bluetooth speaker for the best experience. For those who want a fuss-free, portable projector for home or occasional outdoor use, without breaking their bank, the Portronics Beem 520 is worth considering. AI Masterclass for Students.

Remove Ads Precision strikes from afar, round-the-clock The Indian Air Force is set to receive a major capability boost with the government preparing to clear a Rs 10,000 crore project to acquire cutting-edge I-STAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance) high-altitude spy planes will allow the IAF to conduct pinpoint strikes on critical enemy targets such as radar sites, mobile air defence units, and command posts — even from stand-off told ANI that the Defence Ministry is expected to take up the proposal later this month at a high-level meeting, amid the Indian military's ongoing Operation Sindoor against I-STAR project involves procuring three advanced aircraft — likely from international aviation giants like Boeing or Bombardier — which will then be fitted with fully indigenous sensor and electronic systems. These onboard surveillance and targeting systems have already been developed and tested by DRDO's Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS).The Indian-built systems will provide multi-spectral surveillance, enabling forces to detect, locate and track enemy assets with precision — day or night, even in complex terrain. Officials said the integration work would be swift since the tech has already been operational, the aircraft will offer a dynamic, real-time picture of the battlefield, making India one of the few countries in the world with such strategic air-to-ground surveillance and strike coordination capabilities. Only a handful of nations — including the United States, United Kingdom, and Israel — currently operate such I-STAR system combines both airborne and ground-based components, and is designed to operate from stand-off ranges at high altitudes. Its job is to assist the IAF in identifying and engaging high-value ground targets without crossing into hostile airspace — an increasingly critical requirement in modern the ability to carry out intelligence gathering, real-time surveillance, targeting, and reconnaissance (ISR), the aircraft will allow India to limit the scale of conflict while neutralizing threats with surgical said this system will not only strengthen India's deterrence capability, but also help in swift retaliation in conflict scenarios, enhancing national security preparedness across borders.
