Fractal Launches Cogentiq, an Agentic AI Platform to drive Enterprise Performance
Despite enthusiasm around AI, enterprises often struggle to translate potential into tangible results. Traditional analytics and automation tools remain constrained by data silos, rigid workflows, and dependence on technical expertise - limiting the speed and effectiveness of decision-making.
Cogentiq bridges this gap, going beyond passive analytics to enable decision-making. Its intelligent agents integrate data across systems, analyze information contextually, and autonomously initiate actions, transforming how enterprises engage with customers, manage operations, and drive growth.
Early deployments of Cogentiq have already delivered results across sectors like healthcare, insurance, and consumer packaged goods ("CPG"). For example, a major healthcare provider used Cogentiq to fully automate contact center auditing, reducing call duration and enhancing member experiences - achieving operational efficiency and high ROI.
"The excitement around AI is undeniable, yet most enterprises struggle to convert this enthusiasm into sustained performance," said Srikanth Velamakanni, Co-founder, Group Chief Executive, and Vice-Chairman of Fractal. "Cogentiq represents the future of AI - where intelligent agents actively think, plan, and act within real-world business scenarios. It moves beyond traditional dashboards to embed intelligence directly into daily workflows, accelerating decisions. This means enterprises can now move from actionable intelligence to intelligent actions." Key features of the Cogentiq platform include: SME-Friendly Agent Builder: Empowers subject matter experts ("SME") with a low-code/no-code environment to create and deploy tailored AI agents - democratizing AI across the enterprise.
Unified Data Integration: Comprehensive connectors for structured and unstructured data eliminate silos, enabling holistic and real-time insights.
Pre-Built Domain Intelligence: Specialized agents tailored for key business functions, including finance, HR and supply chain, accelerating deployment and accuracy.
Flexible, Future-Proof Architecture: Cloud-agnostic and compatible with diverse large language models ("LLM"), ensuring enterprises benefit from advancements without vendor lock-in.
Enterprise-Grade Security and Compliance: Robust governance framework, secure authentication, and role-based access controls ensures safe, ethical, and compliant AI operations.
"Enterprises today are navigating a world rich with data, but what sets us apart is the ability to not just derive insight but act on it, instantly and logically. Cogentiq enables business users to move past static dashboards, to understand the 'why' behind the 'what', and trigger autonomous actions in real-time. With no code and no dependencies from customer support to field sales, businesses can build logical workflows, accelerate decisions and unlocking measurable impact," said Pranay Agrawal, Co-founder and CEO of Fractal US.

Ex-Intel board members seek leadership shake-up after Trump's call for Lip-Bu Tan's resignation. But there is a catch
Amid calls from Donald Trump demanding the resignation of Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, four former directors of the chipmaking company have said that his fate should be decided by the shareholders and board. In a statement to Fortune, four former board members of Intel also demanded a radical restructuring of Intel that would revamp the company's manufacturing vertical into an independent company to re-establish its dominant position in the United States' chipmaking market. Charlene Barshefsky, Reed Hundt, James Plummer, and David Yoffie said that Intel has hired its fourth CEO in seven years but results have hardly improved. They claimed that only a dramatic shift in the company's workflow could restore Intel's competitiveness in the American market, much of which has been captured by rival Nvidia. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan says he's 'always operated within the highest legal and ethical standards' after President Donald Trump said he should resign. Tan also said Intel was in contact with the Trump administration. 'We are engaging with the Administration to address the matters that have been raised and ensure they have the facts,' Tan said. 'I fully share the President's commitment to advancing US national and economic security, I appreciate his leadership to advance these priorities, and I'm proud to lead a company that is so central to these goals.' Intel said in a statement that it's 'deeply committed to advancing US national and economic security interests and are making significant investments aligned with the President's America First agenda.' Tan also addressed the situation, saying in a message to employees that there was misinformation circulating about his past roles at Walden International and Cadence Design Systems and that he's always followed proper standards. In a post on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump said, 'The CEO of Intel is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem!' His comment came shortly after Senator Tim Cotton wrote a letter to Intel Chairman Frank Yeary, flagging concerns over Tan's alleged ties with Chinese firms. In his letter, Senator Tim Cotton also flagged a recent criminal case involving Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan's former company Cadence Design. Writing in order to 'express concern about the security and integrity of Intel's operations and its potential impact on US national security', the Senator posed questions to Intel Chairperson Frank Yeary in his letter. He asked if Intel's board was aware of the subpoenas received by Cadence during the time Tan was CEO of the company. Cotton also raised questions about the measures that Intel had taken to address this issue.

Gen Z share ‘unhinged' hacks to survive toxic jobs — fake a lawyer, act like you're in 'The Office' & more
A growing number of Gen Z workers are fed up with toxic workplaces where micromanagement and dismissed ideas are the norm, but instead of going straight to the HR with their complaints, they are turning to TikTok for advice on how to 'protect their peace'. The advice that they are getting isn't about setting boundaries or documenting issues — it's about 'most unhinged, borderline unethical' things they can do to keep their sanity, Fortune reported. Gen Z's most common and popular unhinged hack is malicious compliance. This is a passive-aggressive form of protest where employees follow instructions exactly as they are given, even when they know doing so will cause inefficiency or backfire. 'Once my job made us do 'productivity' timesheets and we all agreed to be maliciously compliant,' one user commented. 'People were writing, '8:01, hang up jacket, 8:05 took tampon out.' 'I do exactly what my boss tells me. Word for word,' another user wrote. 'If it wasn't spelled out, it isn't getting done. Malicious compliance.' Beyond malicious compliance, Gen Zers are using other creative methods to cope with toxic jobs, including: The 'Let them' theory: This idea, originated from author Mel Robbins, is about letting go of things you can't control. The 'Gray Rock method': This involves disengaging emotionally from a job or person as uninteresting as a 'gray rock.' Faking a lawyer: Some workers copy a fake lawyer into emails to get difficult clients to cooperate. 'I tell myself we're all characters in a sitcom like The Office,' a user said. 'I started lying about myself lol,' another user commented. 'I would give different people different versions of events about myself and when someone confronted me about the stories being different, I knew they were talking about me behind my back.' Whereas some young workers aren't passively aggressively expressing their discontent and unhappiness at the workplace, instead, they are taking a direct approach of 'revenge quitting.' This online trend reflects a larger trend among Gen Z. Nearly 60% of Gen Zers described their current role as a 'situationship,' a short-term job they never intended to stay in for the long term, according to a recent survey of young workers. Of those planning to leave their roles, nearly half said they expect to exit within the next year, and a quarter said they're ready to quit at any moment. Hence, for employers, the message is clear: failure to provide flexibility, growth, and respect for personal boundaries that the post-millennial generation strives for is leading to higher turnover rates, Fortune reported. While these tactics may provide a temporary sense of relief, a workplace psychologist warns they could harm future career prospects. The expert Ben Granger explains that employers may commit a psychological tendency called the fundamental attribution error, which is a tendency to assume that someone's actions reflect their personality, rather than the environment they are in. 'If they [employers] have that perception, it can really do a lot of damage,' Granger told Fortune. Granger suggests that a more productive approach would be to set realistic expectations during the hiring process and reframing challenges rather than retaliating.

These collaborations aim to integrate globally benchmarked financial certification programs into academic learning to bridge the gap between education and employability in the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector. Addressing the Skill Gap in the BFSI Sector India's BFSI sector is expected to generate over 2.5 million new jobs by 2030, driven by digital transformation, rising financial inclusion, and growing demand for investment and retirement planning. However, one of the biggest challenges facing the industry is the lack of job-ready professionals equipped with practical, globally aligned financial expertise which enhances the requirement of best wealth management courses in india. The Chartered Wealth Manager® (CWM®) program, along with the Chartered Economist® (Ch.E®) Course and other short-term certifications offered by AAFM® India, has been identified as a critical solution to this problem. These certifications are designed to train students in advanced financial planning, wealth management, investment advisory, and economic analysis--skills that are increasingly sought after by banks, NBFCs, AMCs, fintechs, family offices, and global capability centers (GCCs). By incorporating these industry-relevant programs into their curriculum, Jain University and ABBS College are taking a future-forward step to ensure that their students are not only academically strong but also professionally certified and industry-ready. Institutional Collaboration for Global Financial Education Under the MoUs, AAFM® India will offer its globally recognized programs at special fee structures to students, enabling affordable access to premier financial education. The partnership aims to build a robust pipeline of certified professionals who can meet the growing demand for skilled wealth managers, financial planners, and economists in both domestic and global markets. Mr. Vyas Rai Nagpal, Co-Founder & Director, AAFM® India, said: "We're witnessing a paradigm shift in financial services, and certifications like CWM® are no longer optional--they're essential. Through these MoUs, students can earn global credentials that lift employability and position them as strategic assets for the BFSI industry." Mr. Pulock Bhattacharji, CEO, AAFM® India, said: "With the increasing number of HNIs and UHNIs there is an urgent need for professionals who have knowledge about all the plethora of asset classes and Risk appetite of clients. The CWM course provides the platform for creating this new breed of professionals who could service these elite clients." Dr. Jitendra Kumar Mishra, Registrar, Registrar, Jain University, remarked: "This partnership reflects our commitment to practical, career-oriented education. Integrating international certifications will help our students stand out in a competitive job market." Mr. Mackey Agarwal, Head, Admissions & Marketing, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) and JAIN College, remarked "The Chartered Economist® (Ch.E®) Certification sets a global standard in applied and sectoral economics. Our students will be able to add a professional designation that validates competency in economic decision-making and management functions." Mr. Ajitesh Basani, Executive Director, Acharya Bangalore Business School (ABBS), added: "AAFM® India's certifications add immediate industry relevance to our curriculum. We see this collaboration building graduates who meet employer expectations from day one." These partnerships reinforce a shared mission to build an ecosystem where academic institutions and global certification bodies work hand-in-hand to transform India's talent pool and elevate the standards of financial education.
