New Hero Glamour 125 launch likely this festive season, to receive cruise control
Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to expand its 125 cc motorcycle lineup with the launch of the new Glamour 125, which is likely to hit the market sometime next month, during the festive season. The upcoming Hero Glamour 125 was recently spotted during a test run. This is expected to rejuvenate the 125 cc segment in the Indian motorcycle market soon. The images leaked gave us a clear idea about the upcoming motorcycle and its features. The new model will not come incorporating just a small upgrade, but looks like the next generation avatar instead. The new Hero Glamour 125 will come with a new switchgear and a fully digital, large instrument cluster. There is a cruise control button, which is a fresh feature addition to the segment. The cruise control toggle button comes integrated on the right side switchgear, under the ignition button. The left side switchgear is also new and comes with buttons to navigate through the new LCD screen, which looks like the same unit used on the Hero Karizma XMR 210 and the Hero Xtreme 250R. The instrument cluster adds premium appeal to the motorcycle, as well as showing a wide range of information. Some other key features of the upcoming Hero Glamour 125 will include Bluetooth connectivity for the instrument cluster. There will be turn-by-turn navigation, alerts for SMS and calls. The motorcycle will get a USB charging point as standard. Besides these interesting features, enhancing the rider convenience and premium quotient of the motorcycle, expect the upcoming model to come with a major design overhaul as well. However, on the hardware front, the Hero Glamour 125 would remain unchanged. Upon launch, expect it to replace the current model and compete with rivals like the Honda CB Shine, which currently leads the 125 cc motorcycle segment in the Indian two-wheeler market.

AI Plus Nova 5G review: For Rs 7,999, this phone is too good to be true
Getting a phone for less than Rs 10,000 that you can flaunt and have a good all-round user experience is hard. If you can stretch your budget and go a bit higher, a whole new world awaits, one that is beaming with possibilities. But what if you have a super-tight budget? The tables turn suddenly, and you're left with fewer options. The segment isn't necessarily a hotbed of innovation, relying instead on the tried and tested formula of providing just enough basics to cover the bare necessities a phone could ask for. advertisementNxtQuantum Shift Technologies, a new tech startup which has former Realme CEO Madhav Sheth at the helm, wants to change that stereotype with the brand-new AI Plus Nova 5G. This phone, no matter where you look, seems heavy on specs and surprisingly light on the pocket. Some might even say that it is too good to be true. For a starting price of Rs 7,999, you're getting more than your money's worth at least as far as hardware is concerned. But if NxtQuantum is anything to go by, its software is its biggest USPs. For a new brand that's trying to break into India's hyper-competitive smartphone space, the AI Plus Nova gets a lot right on paper. So, how does it fare in the real world? Let's find out in this India Today Tech review. AI Plus Nova 5G review: Design and displayThe AI Plus Nova 5G has raised the bar, especially from the design perspective. For a device belonging to this price segment, the phone features a premium look and feel. It has a boxy build, but with a slim profile. It is light and sleek to fit in your hand perfectly. I have been using the green variant (it also comes in blue, white, pink, purple and black colour options), and I love how minimalistic the design is. The rear panel features a subtle rectangular-shaped camera island, hosting dual shooters. The company has paid attention to the details. The island on the back panel is divided in half (horizontally) with a darker shade of green. Additionally, the power button on the edge is in contrast with the rest of the colour profile. It is red. Following such details, the AI Plus Nova 5G keeps the boredom away. This minimalistic approach also means the phone remains fairly stable when placed on a flat surface, without excessive wobble. While the design is grip-friendly, to counter sweaty/greasy fingers, the smartphone comes with a protective case in the box. Coming to the display, the AI Plus Nova 5G features a large 6.75-inch display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It is bright enough to remain perfectly legible even under direct sunlight, and the vivid colours on the display make everything look more immersive. The bezels could be more uniform, but it is understandable at this price. The AI Plus Nova 5G's bezels become thick on the chin. AI Plus Nova 5G review: Performance and batteryPowered by a Unisoc T8200 chip, the AI Plus Nova 5G runs on NxTQ OS, which is based on Android 15. The best part, the phone comes with no bloatware, which is a rare sight with entry-level smartphones. The new NxTQ OS is the name of the Android skin that the brand is offering over Android 15. It has a privacy dashboard so that you can track which apps are accessing your data. There is an app store, design tool, community app and wallpaper app from the platform. advertisementWith this new OS, the phone offers a smooth and snappy performance. Whether it is scrolling Instagram or WhatsApp chatting or binge-watching videos on YouTube, the phone delivers a largely lag-free really put it through its paces, I also ran a few benchmark tests on the device. On Geekbench, the phone clocked 742 for single-core, and 1995 for multi-core. The smartphone packs a big 5,000mAh battery. I have been using it for almost 2 weeks now, and I can say that it can power through daily tasks easily. While I only used the phone for WhatsApp chatting, Instagram scrolling, watching YouTube videos and occasional reading, the AI Plus Nova 5G was able to pull off 8-9 hours. AI Plus Nova supports a Type-C charging port. advertisementWhile the battery is good for a phone in sub-Rs 8,000 segment, the 10W charging speed leaves you asking for more. It took nearly 2 hours to charge from 2 per cent to 88 per Plus Nova 5G review: CameraThe AI Plus Nova 5G comes with a 50-megapixel primary sensor on the back and a 5-megapixel front camera. While the specifications seem promising, the real-world performance is underwhelming. The camera struggles with fine details, often producing shots that lack the desired sharpness and clarity. Softness creeps in, particularly in complex textures or low-light environments. For casual photography and social media posts, it gets the job done, but it's unlikely to impress serious shutterbugs. advertisementIn daylight, colours appear vivid, yet the overly smooth finish leaves images looking slightly flat. Portrait mode performs similarly. While the edge detection is better as compared to other smartphones in the price segment, the smoothing effect makes the results look a bit artificial. Interestingly, the front camera offers the opposite experience, delivering images that lean towards graininess rather than smoothness. Check out the photo samples clicked using AI Plus Nova 5G Plus Nova 5G: Is it worth it?At Rs 7,999, the AI Plus Nova 5G is surely worth it. It sports a beautiful design that at first you may not even tell it is under Rs 10,000. Other than the looks, the phone also features other premium features. For instance, a 6.7-inch HD+ display, 5,000mAh battery and a 50-megapixel primary camera. For budget-conscious buyers, it comes as a breath of fresh air, one that is easy to recommend.- Ends

TCS layoffs mark end of one IT era, and the start of another
'The future is already here; it's just not evenly distributed,' goes the famous quote. Well, neither are job losses — or so the 12,000 laid-off employees of TCS might be ruefully thinking as they packed their personal effects, while simultaneously reading about the $100m salaries that Mark Zuckerberg was dangling to lure AI researchers to his company. There has been a spate of layoffs in tech companies, with Microsoft firing 15,000 employees, Intel 5,000, and Meta and Amazon joining the party. Much of the losses were ascribed to AI, which is driving workforce efficiencies and empowering one human to do the job of many. Till now, most of the layoffs were happening in far-off places like the US and Europe, but the TCS announcement that it was letting go 2% of the workforce brought this phenomenon closer home. Companies like TCS have traditionally been seen as a safe harbour, the closest to a 'govt job' in terms of stability and tenure. It had remained so through the dotcom bust, the financial crisis and others. But now, with the advent of AI, the myth seems to be busted. While TCS is the most prominent example, it is not alone. Big consulting firms are 'streamlining' their workforce, other big IT services firms are making disturbing noises, and job portals are teeming with tech workers' resumes. TCS has gone to great lengths to not pin the blame on AI. But the subtext of terms like 'a skill mismatch' and 'future-ready' is hard to ignore. In many ways, this has been a long time coming. The IT services model of cost-arbitrage, deploying vast armies of coders and consultants at lower cost, has been in its twilight era for a while. AI just accelerated the trend, disrupting the existing linear model where more projects meant hiring more people. Now, a human analyst and a few AI agents working together can potentially do what ten analysts once did. In its place, a new kind of IT services firm is emerging — leaner, AI-native, and outcome-focused. These firms will not hire a thousand freshers to handle client reports or debug software, but deploy a small team of AI-literate experts and a suite of autonomous agents to do the job faster, cheaper, and often better. We are seeing early glimpses already, with new services startups using agents like Cursor or Devin, legal firms operating with Harvey, and research teams powered by Perplexity and NotebookLM. The societal impact of this transition in India will be immense. The whole education model of training young people in STEM skills to then place them in some IT company ensuring a stable career with a decent salary is under threat. However, this tectonic shift presents as great an opportunity as the magnitude of the threat. This is especially true for younger, entry-level employees, since 'breaking first is the bottom rung of the career ladder' as Aneesh Raman, the chief economic opportunity officer at LinkedIn, wrote. However, with every crisis, including this one, comes great opportunity. These are five things I believe young people should do in this inevitable age of AI: Leapfrog with AI: The definition of literacy now includes the ability to work fluently and naturally with AI tools and agents. If you know how to, you can take AI's help to do jobs the seniors traditionally did and jump straight to the second or third rung of the job ladder. In a recent post, for example, a tech founder offered a programmer with 2-5 years of experience a Rs 1 crore salary — qualifications and experience were not important, just the use of AI to code. Study humanities with STEM: Prompting is about knowledge, creativity, critical thinking, literature and grammar — core humanities skills. As answers become a commodity with AI, questions or 'prompts' will become the differentiator. Don't just join a company, build one: There has been no better time to create a company with AI tools, agents, and 'vibe coding' available to everyone. It is the age of one-person unicorns — one human and a thousand AI agents building billion-dollar startups. Build a career portfolio: Don't do just one thing. Be a product designer who also writes; a digital marketer who teaches music; a coder who also runs a pet shop. With AI, one company, many employees will give way to one employee with many companies. Build your personal brand: Do not depend on where you work for your identity; leverage AI to build your own through the talents you have or learn. You will never be out of paying work. As Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella put it: 'AI is not here to replace humans. It is here to remove the barriers that prevent humans from doing their best work.' This crisis gives us the opportunity to do precisely that. (Jaspreet Bindra is the founder of AI&Beyond.
