Monitoring officer inspects development works in Corporation
District Monitoring Officer and Chairman and Managing Director of Poompuhar Shipping Corporation Limited, N. Venkatesh, inspected the construction of the integrated vegetable and grocery market and the newly established satellite bus stand, both located in Solar on Karur Road, on Tuesday.
The bus stand was established at a cost of ₹63.50 crore on 19.9 acres of Corporation-owned land. The foundation stone was laid on August 18, 2022, with a scheduled completion timeline of two years. However, due to a shortage of funds, the works were delayed, and the remaining 5% of the project is yet to be completed. The facility was developed to operate buses to the southern districts.
At the rear of the bus stand, construction of the integrated market began in January this year at a cost of ₹18.48 crore. The contractor is expected to complete the project within 18 months.
Mr. Venkatesh, accompanied by Additional Collector (Development) and DRDA Project Director Arpit Jain and Corporation Commissioner (in-charge) and Deputy Commissioner K. Dhanalakshmi and Corporation engineers, inspected the completed works at the bus stand and ongoing works at the market. Officials briefed him on the progress and expected completion dates, after which the facilities will be opened for public use. He directed officials to expedite the work and ensure completion within the stipulated timeline.
Later, Mr. Venkatesan held a meeting with officials at the Collectorate and reviewed the status of various development works. District Revenue Officer S. Santhakumar, Gobichettipalayam Sub-Collector S. Sivanandham, Deputy Director of Health Services Aruna, and other officials were present in the meeting.

10 mid-tier IT companies join $1 billion club in last 5 years
Bengaluru: Call it the mid-tier IT firm's breakout moment. Over the past decade, 15 companies crossed the $1 billion revenue mark—10 of them in just the last five years, with several more on the cusp. This marks a structural shift in the mid-tier segment, packing a bigger punch. Take Coforge, for instance. It aims to achieve a revenue milestone of $2 billion by fiscal 2027. The company surpassed $1 billion in revenue during the financial year 2022-23, demonstrating a year-on-year growth of 22.4% in constant currency terms. Digital engineering company Nagarro's revenue crossed $1 billion in the 2023 financial year, up from $908 million in the corresponding period last year. Nagarro follows a January to December financial year. The company recorded a growth of 9.4% in constant currency in 2023. Of Nagarro's 18,000 employees, 12,000 are based in India across 12 cities. While these companies were growth-ready, former Cognizant India CMD Ramkumar Ramamoorthy, in a LinkedIn post, said three powerful forces have redefined their trajectory. Seasoned leaders from tier-1 firms brought strategic clarity, global perspective, and execution muscle—sharpening the edge of mid-tier companies. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Private equity as a growth engine and an imbibed long-term value mindset accelerated transformation and scaling ambitions. Mid-tier players rapidly built and scaled advanced digital capabilities—closely aligned with evolving client expectations. Ramamoorthy said, "One of the best things that happened to Indian IT after Y2K is senior management attrition. Seasoned leaders who built and ran large portfolios in IT companies such as Cognizant, Infosys, and HCL took on CXO roles in mid-sized firms and built the much-needed muscles to gracefully scale these companies. With more such leaders being made available today, in the years to come, we should see a larger number of companies get past the magical $1 billion in revenue, ably compete with Tier-1 players, and catalyse growth. " He is also a partner in tech growth advisory firm Catalincs. In the last four months, nearly a dozen mid-sized firms saw top deck changes. LTIMindtree welcomed Venu Lambu as their new chief executive, while Virtusa brought in Nitin Banga from Global Logic to lead as their CEO. Rohit Kedia, who brings 28 years of experience in technology and digital engineering, was appointed CEO at ChrysCapital-owned digital engineering company Xoriant. He previously served as chief growth officer at LTIMindtree. Engineering services firm Cyient appointed Sukamal Banerjee as CEO of its DET (digital, engineering and technology) business. "Also, with dozens of PE firms making a beeline for the IT industry, the investee companies are a big draw for these leaders not only for CXO roles but also for Board positions. These firms bring in global best practices across all aspects of business—people, process, platforms, partnerships, among others—which also helps fast-track the journey to a billion dollars and more." Peter Bendor-Samuel, founder and chairman of US-based IT advisory Everest Group, said, "However, perhaps the most important factor has been the PE firm's ability to change the mindset of these firms and attract some of the industry's most capable executives to run them. The combination of first-rate executives, acquisitions, and focused investments in sales and marketing has proven a sure-fire recipe to drive highly profitable and fast growth. " These shifts have repositioned mid-tier companies as credible contenders, not just fast followers—rewriting what growth looks like in the industry's next chapter.

Boeing books 303 new orders and hits 737 MAX production target in blockbuster May
Boeing is heading into the Paris Air Show after a blockbuster May that included booking 303 new orders and rolling out 38 new 737 MAX jets, a production rate that it has been working to reach for more than a year. The company also delivered 45 aircraft last month, it said Tuesday. It was the sixth-highest monthly order tally in Boeing's history, according to company data. The orders included the largest widebody jet deal in Boeing's history: Qatar Airways' order for 130 787s and 30 777Xs, plus options for another 50 of the long-haul aircraft. However, only 120 787s were added to Boeing's order backlog, according to the company. It did not clarify the discrepancy. The Qatar deal was announced during President Donald Trump's whirlwind Middle East tour, which included a string of high-profile business deals. One day earlier, Saudi Arabian-owned lessor AviLease ordered 20 737-8 MAX jets. Another Gulf region carrier, Etihad, said it planned to order 28 widebody Boeing jets, but it did not place a firm order, so the aircraft were not included in May's total. Canadian airline WestJet also ordered seven 737 MAX jets. The company also canceled two orders for 737s. Live Events In total, three orders were canceled during the month, making for 300 net new orders in May. Its order backlog rose to 5,943 orders as of May 31. Boeing delivered 45 aircraft in the month, its fifth consecutive month of 40 or more deliveries. The total was nearly twice as many deliveries as the 24 aircraft the company handed over to customers during the same month one year earlier. Aircraft deliveries are closely watched by Wall Street because planemakers are able to collect the majority of their payment when they hand over jets to customers. The company handed over 31 737 MAX jets, including seven to United Airlines and four to Alaska Airlines, and seven 787s, including three to Qatar Airways from earlier orders. It also delivered five 777 freighters, one 767 freighter and one 737 NG to be converted into a P-8 Poseidon for the U.S. Navy. None of the deliveries were to Chinese airlines, which stopped taking new Boeing aircraft in April as the two countries clashed over tariffs. China removed the ban after the Washington and Beijing agreed to temporarily cut tariffs. A new 737 MAX landed in China on Monday, according to flight tracking data, the first to arrive since the ban was removed. So far in 2025, Boeing has delivered 220 aircraft: 164 737 MAXes, three 737 NGs for conversion into P-8s, 28 787s, 16 777s and nine 767s. European rival Airbus has delivered 243 aircraft so far this year, including 51 deliveries in May. The company did not announce any new orders last month. However, Airbus is expected to announce several deals during the Paris Air Show, which starts Monday. Boeing said on Tuesday that it rolled out 38 new 737 MAX aircraft in May, hitting a production target that it has been working to reach for more than a year. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration capped output at 38 airplanes a month due to quality concerns exposed by a mid-air panel blowout in a nearly new 737 in January 2024. Monthly production of its best-selling 737 MAX has varied up and down in recent years as the company grappled with internal and external production problems and constraints. A strike last year at its plants in Washington and Oregon shut down production of the popular single-aisle airplane. Since production resumed in December, the company has taken a slow and deliberate approach to increasing the rate. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg has said the company has to stabilize production at 38 per month for several months before asking the FAA to increase output. All six production quality and safety metrics created by the company and U.S. regulators are green, according to the company.

Google-owned Waymo on suspending service in LA protests: 'We do not believe...'
Image credit: X (Twitter) Google-owned Waymo has suspended service in downtown Los Angeles after multiple self-driving cars were vandalised and set on fire during recent anti-ICE protests . Several videos and photos captured and shared on social media showed electric, self-driving Waymo cars engulfed in flames, with one of the protestors further vandalising a car. One of the videos also captured the charred remains of five Waymo vehicles scattered across a Los Angeles street. A spokesperson for the ride-hailing service told CBS MoneyWatch that Waymo has removed its vehicles from downtown Los Angeles and suspended service in the affected area as a precaution. However, the company confirmed that it continues to operate in other parts of the city.

Waymo, a subsidiary of Google parent company Alphabet, operates its autonomous ride-hailing service not only in Los Angeles but also in Phoenix and the San Francisco Bay Area, the company's website notes Apart from setting Waymo cars on fire, protesters also damaged and looted several businesses, including Jordan Studio 23, a sporting goods store in downtown LS, along with a T-Mobile and an Adidas store, CBS Los Angeles reported. Protests in California's capital began last week after ICE raids in the Los Angeles Fashion District and intensified later, following US President Donald Trump 's decision to deploy at least 300 US National Guard troops to the city, a move that California Governor Gavin Newsom has called illegal. According to a CBS report, it took some time for the Los Angeles Police Department to reach the chaotic scene. After the incident, the LAPD has urged businesses in the area to report any damage to the police. 'Please photograph all vandalism and damage prior to clean up,' the department posted on its X account. HP EliteBook Ultra Review: Thin, light, power in a premium package AI Masterclass for Students.
