Oriental Trimex said it became one of the first in the industry to introduce the Smart Cut machine, an ultra-thin wire machine for cutting marble blocks.
"The SMART CUT machine employs an ultra-thin wire, just 0.55 millimetres thick, significantly outperforming traditional blades using segments wide enough to 3.5 mm. This innovation reduces waste by about 20 per cent, allowing us to optimise yield and bolster profit margins in an industry where margins typically range from 10 per cent to 30 per cent," said the company.
"Moreover, its high automation minimises labour requirements, dramatically enhancing our operational efficiency and securing a first-mover advantage in the market," the company added.

"On May 21, 2025, we received an official mining lease from the Odisha government for a quarry of Jer black granite, expanding our product offerings. We are poised to commence quarry operations this quarter and anticipate initiating commercial production shortly thereafter," said Oriental Trimex.
"As we drive export initiatives and collaboration forward, we are actively engaging with several Far East and Middle East companies, with discussions with a Vietnam-based partner currently in the final stages," Oriental Trimex said.
Oriental Trimex also plans to divest seven acres of land in the Somnathpur Industrial Estate, Balasore, and a small granite unit in the Rairangpur Industrial Area.
"This decisive action will streamline our operations, reduce recurring expenses, and enhance liquidity for more focused investments," the company said.

Venture Capitalist Alleges Indian-origin Startup Founders Faked Ties With Tech Giants To Lure Investors
Ash Arora's claims of misconduct by two Indian-origin founders have sparked a social media debate on startup ethics. US-based venture capitalist Ash Arora has alleged serious misconduct by two Indian-origin startup founders, claiming they misrepresented their businesses to lure investors. These allegations have sparked both criticism and introspection across the startup community. In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Arora, a partner at LocalGlobe and a Forbes 30 Under 30 (Europe Finance) listee, said, 'Have met two founders in SF this month. Both fraud: 1. Is subletting a rented apartment and showing that as revenue for his startup. 2. Is claiming Amazon and Google are clients who have signed LOIs when they have never even heard of them," she wrote. What truly lit the fuse, however, was Arora's follow-up remark, where she wrote, 'What's common among them? Both desi men. Beware of these people!" This characterisation quickly ignited debate online. While the underlying concern about startup ethics struck a chord with many, others took issue with her framing, accusing her of reinforcing stereotypes based on ethnicity. A sample of two. What's the point of including their race ?— bubble boi (@bubblebabyboi) July 8, 2025 Another user wrote, 'The 'desi men' part is a spicy take, but honestly, the patterns of fraud in SF are pretty universal. Desperation or greed, it always comes back to the same stuff." The 'desi men' part is a spicy take, but honestly, the patterns of fraud in SF are pretty universal. Desperation or greed, it always comes back to the same stuff.— Dan (@salinasdanielf) July 8, 2025 'Generalise a race off of a sample set of 2? Why would a brown male founder even want to take your money? Do better," read one of the comments. Generalize a race off of a sample set of 2?Why would a brown male founder even want to take your money? Do better. — Vishal Jain (@vishal_the_jain) July 9, 2025 Arora, though, stood by her words. She clarified that her use of the term 'desi" was intended to subtly point to the individuals without directly naming them. 'It breaks my heart that Indians are doing this and ruining the reputation of my country," she replied to one of the comments. Because it breaks my heart that Indians are doing this and ruining the reputation of my country— Ash Arora (@asharoraa) July 8, 2025 The conversation escalated further when Arora revealed that a few investors reached out to her. '4 VCs have pinged me correctly guessing both these founder names. Is this Soham Parekh 2.0? We need a BS radar community out here," she wrote, referencing the now-infamous case of Soham Parekh, an engineer who was recently accused by Mixpanel co-founder Suhail Doshi of fabricating parts of his resume and misrepresenting his background. 4 VCs have pinged me correctly guessing both these founder namesIs this Soham Parekh 2.0? We need a BS radar community out here. — Ash Arora (@asharoraa) July 8, 2025 The timing of Arora's remarks, coming just days after Suhail Doshi publicly called out Soham Parekh, has further heightened scrutiny over how startup founders portray themselves and their ventures to investors. While the identities of the two founders remain unknown, the post has reignited concerns about ethical standards in startup culture, especially within Silicon Valley's competitive ecosystem. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sydney man gets 140 applications for job, none from Australia: ‘All from India, Pakistan'
A butcher in Australia is struggling to fill a position paying as much as AUD$130,000 ( ₹73 lakh approximately) per annum, for lack of qualified candidates. According to a report in Clayton Wright has received more than 140 applications for the role, but none of them from Australians. An Australian man says he has received 140 job applications, none from Australians(Shutterstock/ Representative photo) The 66-year-old butcher and businessman has warned that his predicament highlights the growing shortage of trained young tradespeople in Australia. Wright says it indicates a 'perfect storm for businesses' amid rising wages and cost-of-living pressures. The Sydney-based owner of Alexandria's Clover Valley Meat Company and Wrights The Butchers says 'It's not a matter of money'. 'We have [had a decades-long] drain on people that have not picked up the trade, this is what we're suffering now.' No luck finding a candidate Clayton Wright is 'desperate' for more employees, so much so that he is spending $1,100 per month advertising a position on job-hunting website Seek. Despite having received over 140 applications, he is unable to fill the position as all the applications are from overseas. 'We've had 140 applications and not one was from Australia,' he said. 'They were from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, South America.' Wright says that all the applicants are looking for ways to enter Australia. Some can barely communicate in English, others have no experience in the butchering industry. Aside from some applicants who had experience in halal slaughter, the other applicants 'had virtually no qualifications at all' and 'most were battling to speak English'. 'They all want a sponsorship,' said the Australian businessman. 'This happened years ago in the chef industry, where chef was an easy entry into Australia so all these people came and did a chef's course. The problem is that you have no butchers, so if you bring people in from overseas you have no one to train them.' The business lobby agrees that Australia is facing a skill shortage, and that Wright is not alone in experiencing this. 'We are hearing from business owners across the state who are advertising the same job two, three, even five times and still coming up empty,' said Daniel Hunter, chief executive of Business NSW.

Goldman Sachs hires a new employee that could be a 'nightmare' for engineering graduates
Goldman Sachs has made a hiring decision that could send shockwaves through the engineering job market : the investment banking giant is deploying Devin , an AI software engineer that never sleeps, never takes breaks, and never asks for a raise. The bank announced it will initially deploy hundreds of these autonomous coders, with plans to scale to thousands. The AI employee, developed by London-based startup Cognition, represents a seismic shift in how major financial institutions approach software development. Goldman's Chief Information Officer Marco Argenti told CNBC that Devin will function "like our new employee who's going to start doing stuff on the behalf of our developers." AI workforce could transform banking productivity With Goldman employing 12,000 human developers, the introduction of thousands of AI coders signals a fundamental transformation in the industry's labor dynamics. Argenti projects that Devin could boost productivity by three to four times compared to previous AI tools, focusing on routine tasks like updating legacy code that human engineers often consider drudgery. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription! Techno Mag Learn More Undo "Those models are basically just as good as any developer, it's really cool," Argenti told CNBC, describing the AI's capabilities as matching human performance levels. Entry-level positions face uncertain future The implications for aspiring engineers are particularly concerning. Bloomberg Intelligence warned in January that banks could eliminate up to 200,000 jobs globally over the next three to five years due to AI adoption. Traditional analyst positions—the typical entry point for finance careers—may shrink dramatically as routine coding and research tasks become increasingly automated. However, Argenti envisions a "hybrid workforce" where humans and AI work collaboratively. "It's really about people and AIs working side by side," he explained to CNBC. "Engineers are going to be expected to have the ability to really describe problems in a coherent way and turn it into prompts." While roles requiring sector expertise, client relationships, and high-stakes judgment are expected to remain resilient, the era of AI coders has officially begun on Wall Street.
