Sennheiser Profile Wireless 1-Channel mic launched for solo creators
Unlike the two-channel Profile Wireless released in late 2024, the new variant trims the package for single-user scenarios. Instead of a charging bar, it comes with two USB charging cables packed inside a rugged pouch. The bundle includes a clip-on microphone with mini windshield and magnetic mount, a two-channel receiver, USB-C and Lightning adapters, a camera cable, and a shoe mount adapter.
Sennheiser says the one-channel system retains the same receiver as the dual-mic version, allowing creators to expand later if they need a two-mic setup.
The Profile Wireless 1-channel works with smartphones, laptops, and cameras without requiring an app. Users can also connect an external lavalier mic or set it up as a wireless boom. With up to seven hours of battery life and 16 GB of onboard storage for up to 30 hours of internal recording, it's built for flexibility in field shoots, vlogging, and streaming.
Noise management is aided by the included mini windshield, while the three-level fan speed adjustment in the receiver helps maintain clarity.
The Profile Wireless 1-channel mic system is now retailing at an MRP of ₹ 19,900, with the limited-time launch price of ₹ 15,990 on Amazon India. Meanwhile, the two-channel system continues to sell at ₹ 29,900 (deal price: ₹ 24,990).
For creators looking to upgrade their content without investing in a bulkier two-channel system right away, the new Profile Wireless offers a flexible entry point. And with the option to expand later, it keeps future needs in mind while staying wallet-friendly today.

From blackouts to benchmarks: The Odisha distribution turnaround
Private sector participation in electricity distribution has the potential to significantly improve service efficiency, reliability, and the financial health of discoms. Among the most compelling examples of this transformation is the Odisha model, which has emerged as a benchmark for reform in recent years. The scale of operations alone makes Odisha's turnaround a remarkable achievement. The State's electricity distribution network serves over 97.4 lakh customers across four discoms and spans a geographical area of 1,55,707 square kilometers—approximately 4.74 per cent of India's total landmass. Unlike most private participation in power distribution, which has remained concentrated in urban centres, Odisha chose to extend reform to its rural heartland. The decision to bring in a partner with a proven track record and the capacity to serve challenging geographies has paid off. Today, the entire state—urban and rural alike—benefits from improved reliability, efficiency, and service. This wasn't Odisha's first attempt. Earlier efforts to privatise the sector didn't yield the desired results. But the State stayed the course, learned from experience, and chose a path that emphasized accountability, performance, and long-term commitment. The result is a partnership model that has delivered both efficiency and equity. In 2020, a major public-private partnership was initiated to revitalize the state's power distribution sector, and Tata Power —known for its successful discom operations in Mumbai and Delhi—was brought onboard. At the time, the system was fragmented and struggling. The four government-run discoms—CESU, NESCO, WESCO, and SOUTHCO—were plagued by high AT&C losses, outdated infrastructure, frequent outages, and low customer satisfaction. Previous attempts at privatisation had failed, and the sector was in urgent need of reform. Between 2020 and 2021, the partnership led to the formation of four new entities: TPCODL for Central Odisha, TPSODL for Southern Odisha, TPWODL for Western Odisha, and TPNODL for Northern Odisha. Parivartan to Pragati To drive change, a comprehensive transformation programme was launched. This included a 10-module strategy focused on operational excellence, digital innovation, and workforce development. The existing workforce was retained and retrained, and a planned investment of Rs 6,000 crore over five years was committed to upgrading infrastructure and services. Smart grid technologies were introduced, and customer service was enhanced through the establishment of customer service centers across the State. As of FY25, Odisha's discoms have reduced AT&C losses by approximately 13 per cent since the takeover. They have also earned A+ ratings from the Ministry of Power for FY24, placing them among the top-performing utilities in the country. Beyond operational metrics, the transformation has had a meaningful social impact. Service reliability has improved in rural, tribal, and remote regions. Consumers now benefit from digital billing and grievance redressal platforms, and local youth have gained access to skill-building and employment opportunities through regional training centres. Odisha's journey stands as a quiet but powerful example of what sustained reform can achieve in India's power sector. The consultative support of the Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission (OERC) and Government of Odisha has been instrumental throughout this journey, and will continue to play a vital role as the discoms take on the gargantuan task of transforming not only urban centres but also deeply rural and tribal regions. The success of the Odisha model offers a practical template for other states—one built on accountability, and a clear vision for inclusive progress.

Arm hires Amazon AI exec to boost plans to build its own chips
By Max A. Cherney SAN FRANCISCO: Arm Holdings has hired Amazon .com artificial intelligence chip director Rami Sinno to bolster its plans to develop its own complete chips, a person familiar with the matter said on Monday. Sinno was responsible for helping to develop Amazon's homegrown AI chips called Tr ai nium and Inferentia that are designed to help build and run large AI applications. Until now, Arm has not built its own chips. Instead, it designs the core architecture and instruction set for processors that it sells to customers. Chip designers like Apple and Nvidia use Arm technology in their chips. In July, Arm disclosed plans to invest a portion of its profit into building its own chips and other components. CEO Rene Haas discussed the possibility of moving beyond designs and building chiplets - smaller, function-specific versions of a chip that are stitched together - and complete systems. The company, which is majority-owned by the SoftBank Group , collects royalty payments on the chips its customers sell. Arm-based devices power nearly every smartphone in the world and server chips based on its intellectual property have made significant inroads in the data center market long dominated by Advanced Micro Devices and Intel. As part of a broad plan to increase its business, Arm has sought to expand beyond supplying crucial chip intellectual property to building its own complete designs. Reuters first reported on the company's plans outlined in sealed exhibits from a December trial, and its effort to hire executives from rivals in February. In recent years, Arm has sought to bolster its teams focused on building complete chips and systems. The company has hired Nicolas Dube, an executive from HPE with large-scale systems design experience, and Steve Halter, a chip engineer from Intel and Qualcomm, as part of the effort, the person familiar with the matter said. Sinno's effort at Amazon was part of the company's effort to design chips that would be cheaper and offer superior performance to Nvidia's graphics processors used for AI work.
