Swiggy pilots travel and lifestyle concierge app Crew
Swiggy has launched a travel and lifestyle concierge app, Crew, on a pilot basis, according to information about the app published on Google Play Store. This marks the Bengaluru-based company's entry into a new business after food delivery, dining out, quick commerce and professional services. The app, which involves human concierges in addition to generative artificial intelligence (AI), helps users plan trips, going beyond simply suggesting itineraries.A Swiggy spokesperson did not comment on the year, ahead of its initial public offering (IPO), the company had started testing Rare Life, a personalised concierge service focused on elite and exclusive experiences. However, this project was discontinued after Swiggy decided not to scale it up beyond a small cohort. In January, the company rolled out professional services marketplace Pyng, signalling that it was following a house of apps strategy similar to Chinese tech giants Alibaba and Meituan, which have also had multiple apps for various services. This is in contrast to the 'superapp' strategy, where consumers are expected to come for one basic use-case and transact across multiple services. Also, superapps are yet to see any noteworthy success at scale in Crew and Pyng, Swiggy now has the main app, which houses food delivery, quick commerce, dining out and its events platform Scenes. The quick commerce unit, Instamart, also got a separate app in launch of Crew was first reported by Entrackr. Swiggy recently suspended its peer-to-peer parcel delivery service Genie, which was available in 70 cities. The company has also licenced its cloud kitchen brands to food service outfit Kouzina, with plans to fully transfer these businesses upon fulfilment of certain conditions. On Friday, Swiggy shares ended 3.1% higher at Rs 385.90 on the BSE.

SRAM & Paradigm Pictures invest 3,000 cr in cutting-edge film city in Tamil Nadu
In a transformative move set to redefine cinematic infrastructure in South Asia, Chairman Dr Sailesh L Hiranandani of UK-based SRAM & MRAM Group and Chairman Arvind Dharmaraj of Paradigm Pictures have jointly announced a ₹3,000 crore investment to develop a 100-acre virtual production campus in Tamil Nadu. The landmark project was unveiled during SRAM & MRAM's 30th anniversary celebrations at London's exclusive Raven's Ait and introduces a seamless fusion of AI-generated environments with traditional cinematic sets. The complex will feature multiple LED volume stages supported by advanced artificial intelligence rendering engines and immersive 360-degree 4K display arrays. This frontier technology allows filmmakers to construct expansive digital worlds instantly and with unparalleled realism. As highlighted by a multinational professional services network, which is one of the Big 4s, such systems have the capacity to reduce production timelines by up to 25 per cent and cut costs by nearly 30 per cent, offering a compelling response to rising industry pressures. The Tamil Nadu hub will also incorporate traditional sets of hospitals, cities, villages, streets, colleges, and schools. These environments are designed to integrate flawlessly with the virtual stages through proprietary anti-glare display surfaces and dynamic lighting systems that ensure consistency between physical and digital layers without the post-production constraints of green screen techniques. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AVIK 4 BHK Floors - Golf Course Road Extn, Gurgaon Birla Navya AVIK Click Here Undo This infrastructure will be powered by an expansive solar installation complemented by modular construction principles that significantly lower the environmental impact. By reducing dependency on location and optimising digital production processes, the project is expected to minimise waste and emissions by up to 80 per cent compared to conventional film facilities. A next-generation training academy will be established in collaboration with BAFTA and National Award-affiliated professionals to cultivate regional talent in visual effects, real-time cinematography, and production innovation. Former MP M G Sekhar and Vengateshwaran Sekhar, chairman of a Bengaluru-based group of colleges, are contributing to strategic alliances that unite education, governance, and industry. M G Sekhar notably holds distinction as India's youngest-ever MLA, appointed during the tenure of the iconic Dr M G Ramachandran. Asish Pandit, a cinematic strategist from Kolkata with over 40 years of global and domestic industry experience, is overseeing the implementation of this visionary initiative. His artistic lineage draws from Bengal's celebrated cinematic heritage led by the legendary Satyajit Ray. 'This is about building far more than a film studio,' he remarked. 'We are creating an ecosystem where intelligence meets imagination to power the future of global storytelling. ' The campus will include AI-curated residences, immersive visitor programmes powered by augmented reality, and a secure digital asset vault for international licensing and content management. Projections estimate more than 10,000 skilled job opportunities and ₹1,200 crore annual revenue through a combination of tourism, post-production, and technology exports. Construction is set to begin shortly with phased delivery beginning in 2026. This landmark development positions India at the forefront of cinematic evolution and virtual production excellence.

Delhi HC restrains pizzerias infringing Domino's trademark
On May 28, the court in its order said, 'It is prima facie evident that the marks of the defendants (15 entities) are deceptively similar and phonetically identical to the plaintiff no 1 (Domino's intellectual property (IP) holder corporation), erstwhile trade name Dominick's Pizza.' As the dispute involved edible products, the court noted, the threshold for establishing deceptive similarity was lower than for other products. Justice Saurabh Banerjee was hearing a suit filed by the popular chain Domino's Pizza, a Delaware-based corporation, seeking an ad interim injunction on 15 entities from using deceptively similar marks, such as 'Domnic's Pizza, Dominic Pizza, Dominic's Pizza, Domnik Pizza and Daminic Pizza'. New Delhi, Jun 20 (PTI) The Delhi High Court has restrained 15 pizzerias from infringing the popular Domino's trademark, underscoring 'disastrous consequences' on human health if it was allowed to continue. 'In essence, any confusion between such products, if allowed to continue, can lead to disastrous consequences on human health. Therefore, this court has to adopt a more cautious and stringent approach for judging the likelihood of confusion and to exercise greater care,' the order read. Ruling in favour of the corporation in the interim, the court restrained the outlets and their agents from using the 'nearly identical or deceptively similar marks' till the next date of hearing on September 17. The court also directed online food aggregators Zomato and Swiggy to de-list, take down and suspend the identical or similar listings of the 15 entities from their mobile application, website or any other platform. In the plea, the corporation said Domino's was founded in the year 1960 in Michigan, USA, by Tom Monaghan and his brother James when the brothers purchased Dominick's Pizza, a pizza store owned by Dominick DiVarti in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and in 1965, after the brothers purchased two more restaurants, the name was changed from Dominick's to Domino's Pizza. According to the plea, there were over 21,000 Domino's Pizza stores across all continents, and the corporation had been continuously and uninterruptedly using the trademarks Domino's and Domino's Pizza.
