VMPL
New Delhi [India], June 25: If you've spent time in the world of corporate, chances are you've heard of Shivangi Narula .One of the most recognized faces in the industry, known for leading high-impact sessions for companies like Google, Microsoft, and Fortune 500 companies.

Recently, she launched NITC (National Institute of Training & Coaching) -- an initiative designed to bring India's trainers, HR professionals, and creators into one room to connect, grow, and learn from each other.
That's where Trainfluence 2025 was born.
Building a Space That Didn't Exist Before
Trainfluence 2025 wasn't a conference. It was a community in motion.
Over 100 trainers, HR professionals, and influencers came together in New Delhi to co-create something India hadn't seen before: a space where trainers aren't sidelined but celebrated.
What made the day stand out was the mix of people.
Corporate trainers, learning professionals, HR leaders, and creators like Priyank Ahuja, Shivani Gera, Siddhant Garg, Krish Bhatia, Shambhav Gupta, Palakh Khanna, Riya Gadhwal, and more filled the room with conversations that mattered.
"This isn't just another event. This is a revolution. A movement to place India's trainers at the forefront of the learning economy," Narula shared during her opening keynote.
"Trainers are the backbone of transformation in today's workspaces. It's high time we treat them like the change-makers they truly are
Heart of the Room:The VIP Trainers
One of the most special moments was seeing the VIP Trainers come to life. These were handpicked trainers who have consistently built teams, shaped mindsets, and driven real change in companies.
They were not just attendees. They were the core of the event.
The VIP Trainers at Trainfluence 2025 included Vineet, Shubhangi, Mansi, Shivani, Anshul, Malvika, Snighdha, Khushboo, Heena, Kesar, Shilpa, Gunjan, Sunint, Anurag, Sunil, Rhea, Rinki, Puneet, Neha, Vandana Jetley, Vrnda, Akshay, Niti, Harneet, Sheetal, Pallavi, Girdhari, Gurpreet, Sanjeev, Juber, Maansi, Rishika, Somya, Nancy, Natasha, Vishal, and Sunanda.
These names represent the trainers shaping corporate India today and the ones who will lead the learning landscape tomorrow.
One FNG & Trainfluence: A Shared Vision for Future-Ready Spaces
When we began building Trainfluence 2025, we weren't just looking for brands to come on board. We were looking for believers, people who understood what it really takes to shape the future of workplaces in India.
That's why having Group 108 as our Title Sponsor wasn't just a collaboration. It was a real alignment of vision.
Their landmark project, One FNG, is set across 15 acres in Noida and is more than just a commercial development. It's a bold blend of modern workspaces, dynamic retail, and artistic architecture, created to become a true lifestyle destination for the next generation of businesses, professionals, and creators.
What made their presence at Trainfluence special wasn't just the sponsorship. It was their intent. Group 108 came in with a genuine curiosity; they didn't want to simply show what they were building, they wanted to learn from the very people who will eventually shape, work, and lead within those spaces.
Trainers. HR leaders. Creators. The same voices that are transforming workplaces from within.
Their involvement as Title Sponsor wasn't about visibility. It was about alignment.
Because at the heart of both One FNG and Trainfluence is one common goal:
Strong Industry Backing
Along the way, a few more amazing partners helped make Trainfluence feel complete.
House of Beauty added such a refreshing touch, reminding us that learning is important, but so is taking care of yourself.
Printbrix made every little detail pop, from the trainer kits to the name tags, their work made sure every guest felt seen.
Photuvala captured the best moments. The hugs, the laughter, the intense discussions, all beautifully saved for us to look back on.
Masters' Union didn't just give us space, they gave us the right energy. The vibe in their halls made the day flow just the way we had imagined.
TapOnn made networking easy. Their digital cards changed the way people connected, no mess, just a quick tap.
It takes a village to pull off something like this, and this village made every detail count.
The Real Reason It Mattered
One of the most beautiful moments of the day was the launch of the Trainers Impact Awards, a small but important step to finally bring trainers on stage, to not just clap for others but to be clapped for.
Too often, trainers work behind the scenes. This time, we brought them to the front.
The day wasn't just about panels and sessions. It was about trainers learning to pitch themselves to companies, building their brands, creating content, and seeing themselves as more than just deliverers of sessions; they are leaders, creators, and change-makers.
What's Next?
The big news?
Trainfluence is not stopping here.
Shivangi is already gearing up for the next edition, coming to Ahmedabad this July.
And it's going to be even bigger, even bolder.
The movement is growing. The conversations are expanding.
And the trainers?
They're no longer waiting to be discovered.
They are stepping forward, ready to lead, ready to build, and ready to shape the future of corporate learning in India

Google powers up developer workflows with new open-source AI tool Gemini CLI
Google has announced Gemini CLI, its open-source AI agent to rival Claude Code and Codex CLI. Developers rely on the command-line interface (CLI) terminal for almost everything. According to the tech giant, Gemini CLI's ubiquity and portability make it a go-to utility for getting work done. The latest offering from Google addresses developers' demand for integrated AI assistance. Gemini CLI harnesses Gemini directly into the terminal. It essentially offers a lightweight access to Gemini, offering developers the most direct path from their prompt to the model. 'While it excels at coding, we built Gemini CLI to do so much more. It's a versatile, local utility you can use for a wide range of tasks, from content generation and problem solving to deep research and task management,' the company said in its official release. Further, Google has also integrated Gemini CLI with Google's AI coding assistant, Gemini Code Assist. This will allow all Code Assist Developers on free, standard, and enterprise plans to get prompt-driven and AI-first coding in VS Code and Gemini CLI. With Gemini CLI, Google is offering unmatched usage limits for individual developers. In order to use Gemini CLI for free, users simply need to log in with their personal Google account to get a free Gemini Code Assist licence. This free licence brings free access to Gemini 2.5 Pro and its massive one million token context. In case a user ever hits a limit during this preview, Google is offering the industry's largest allowance with 60 model requests per minute and 1,000 requests per day at no charge. For professional developers required to run multiple agents at the same time, they can opt for Google AI Studio or Vertex AI key for usage-based billing or get a Gemini Code Assist Standard or Enterprise licence. Gemini CLI, now in preview, offers powerful AI capabilities, from code understanding and file manipulation to command execution and dynamic troubleshooting. The AI agent offers an upgrade to one's command line experience, allowing them to write code, debug issues, and streamline their workflow with natural language. According to Google, Gemini CLI's powerful capabilities are owing to built-in tools. Users can fetch web pages and offer real-time, external context to the model with ground prompts with Google Search. They can extend Gemini CLI's capabilities with built-in support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or bundled extensions. With customised prompts and instructions, developers can tailor Gemini for specific needs and workflows. Further, one can automate tasks and integrate the same with existing workflows by summoning Gemini CLI non-interactively with their scripts. Since Gemini CLI is fully open source (Apache 2.0), developers can inspect the code to understand how it works and verify its security implications.

Scale AI left thousands of confidential AI training docs for Google, Meta, xAI publicly accessible: Report
Scale AI, the data-labelling startup at the heart of some of the biggest artificial intelligence projects in the world, has reportedly left sensitive documents and contractor data accessible to the public through unsecured Google Docs links, according to an investigation by Business Insider. The revelation comes at a time when the company is already under intense scrutiny following Meta's recent $14.3 billion investment for a 49 per cent stake. While Scale AI maintains that it operates independently, clients like Google and OpenAI are reportedly reconsidering their ties to the company amid increasing security Business Insider report found that at least 85 Google Docs containing thousands of pages of sensitive content were publicly accessible to anyone who had the link. These documents reportedly included confidential instructions and internal assessments for AI training projects involving major tech firms like Google, Meta, and Elon's Musk xAI. Scale AI, which helps label and process training data for AI models, has come under fire not only for exposing project documents but also for leaving personal data of its contractors public. Spreadsheets reviewed by Business Insider showed private email addresses, pay disputes, and even lists categorising workers by performance, including some accused of 'cheating'. Some of the files that have been exposed have details about Google's efforts to refine its Bard (now Gemini) chatbot using data from OpenAI's ChatGPT, while some others include feedback on Bard's weaknesses, such as struggling with complex queries. The documents were reportedly labelled 'confidential' by Google but remained open for public access. advertisementAmong the leaked documents was reportedly another confidential xAI project sent to Scale AI contractors, called Project Xylophone. It reportedly involved 700 prompts, which were meant to help train conversational abilities in scenarios ranging from casual banter to zombie apocalypse. Meta, too, apparently had multiple 'confidential' documents left accessible, including training audio files to help improve the emotional tone and safety of its chatbot responses. One file titled 'Good and Bad Folks' openly tagged dozens of contractors as low quality or flagged them for suspicious document titled 'move all cheating taskers' listed hundreds of names and emails flagged for misconduct. Shockingly, some of these sheets were editable, meaning anyone with the URL could add or change entries.'We are conducting a thorough investigation and have disabled any user's ability to publicly share documents from Scale-managed systems,' a Scale AI spokesperson told Business Insider. The company said it remains committed to customer trust and has robust technical and policy safeguards in place to protect current and former contractors also told Business Insider that this system of using shared Google Docs was common at Scale and helped speed up operations across its army of freelance workers. Some workers claimed they still had access to old projects even after being reassigned, with documents continuing to receive updates from clients. Some also said that the system is 'incredibly janky.' - Ends
