Global Innovation Hub, District I launched at Business Park of Bengaluru Airport City Limited
The Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) said that District I will serve as a central platform to accelerate deep-tech entrepreneurship, enterprise-driven innovation, and the commercialisation of academic research.
BIAl hopes that by bringing together Global Capability Centers (GCCs), IT service providers, accelerators, corporate labs, startups, VCs, academia, and public institutions will foster an interconnected, collaborative ecosystem across industries and institutions.
With a focus on advanced technologies, such as AI, quantum computing, blockchain, and customer experience technologies, this hub will foster innovation in critical industries, including aerospace, space tech, smart cities, retail, BFSI, manufacturing, telecom, and defence — sectors where Bengaluru already leads with deep technological capabilities.
District I will be an integral part of Bengaluru Airport City's expansive 28 million sq. ft. Business Park cluster, which is being projected as a world-class, mixed-use urban destination encompassing cutting-edge R&D hubs, a dedicated Education & Health District, a vibrant mix of hospitality, entertainment, and lifestyle offerings.
'Bengaluru has always led from the front in India's tech journey. With the Global Innovation Hub, we are creating a platform that brings together every part of the ecosystem to collaborate, innovate, and lead globally. This is a key step toward making Bengaluru the world's next great innovation capital,' said Ekroop Caur, secretary, Department of Electronics, IT, BT, and S&T, Government of Karnataka.
'At Bengaluru Airport City, we are proud to introduce District I, a dynamic hub created to inspire and empower the next generation of innovators. More than just a physical space, District I captures the ethos of work, play, live, learn, and create, offering startups and enterprises a vibrant ecosystem backed by world-class infrastructure.

TCS Q1 Results Today: Date, Time, Dividend News, Other Key Updates To Watch Out For
Last Updated: TCS Q1 Results FY26: TCS is set to declare its audited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, and interim dividend on Thursday, July 10 TCS Q1 Results FY26: IT bellwether Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) is set to declare its audited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, and interim dividend for FY26 today. 'Tata Consultancy Services Limited will announce its results for the first quarter of FY 2026, ended June 30, 2025, on Thursday, July 10, 2025, after-market trading hours," it said in a regulatory filing. After the release of the Q1 numbers, the leadership team will address a press conference at 5:30 pm on the same date. IT analysts tracking Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) expect a muted performance in the June 2025 quarter (Q1FY26), largely due to a ramp-down in the BSNL project, modest growth in developed markets, and weakness in key verticals like retail and manufacturing. The Street will closely watch for management commentary around client budgets, margin levers, and the overall demand outlook. TCS Q1 Earnings FY26: What To Expect? For the quarter, most brokerages are projecting low single-digit growth, or even a slight decline in revenue and profit. Antique Stock Broking expects a 0.6% decline in revenue in constant currency (CC) terms, although it estimates a 1% QoQ growth in dollar terms, supported by a 160 basis point cross-currency tailwind. The brokerage also expects EBIT margins to remain flat at 24.2% and forecasts deal wins between $9–10 billion. Nuvama is slightly more conservative, projecting revenue of Rs 64,600 crore (up 3.2% YoY) and net profit of Rs 12,214 crore (up 1.5%). Kotak Institutional Equities expects a 0.4% sequential decline in CC revenue, with developed market growth at a modest 0.3%, entirely offset by a drop in BSNL-related revenue. Kotak also pointed out additional factors to monitor, including tariff-related demand disruption in verticals like retail and manufacturing, weak growth trends in developed markets, and any client insourcing trends. Other key areas of investor focus include the role of Global Capability Centres (GCCs), the pace of enterprise GenAI adoption and its deflationary effects, and the company's strategy to protect or grow margins. TCS' deal pipeline continues to show strength, with analysts projecting total contract value (TCV) of $8–10 billion in Q1. Key wins include AI and digital transformation deals with Schneider Electric, Marathon de Paris, ICICI Securities, Oman's Dhofar Insurance, Virgin Atlantic, and an extension of the BSNL contract. Dividend Declaration Expected Today Meanwhile, TCS is expected to announce an interim dividend today, with the record date set as July 16, 2025. Eligible shareholders on that date will receive the dividend if it is declared. TCS has maintained a consistent and generous dividend track record, distributing Rs 314 per share over the last three fiscal years. Despite a relatively modest 5% rise in the stock over this period, the additional 9% from dividends takes total investor returns to 14%. In FY2022–23, the company paid Rs 115 per share, including a Rs 67 special dividend and a Rs 24 final dividend. In FY2023–24, it paid Rs 73 per share across interim and final payouts. Most recently, in FY2024–25, TCS distributed Rs 126 per share, including a Rs 66 special dividend and a Rs 30 final payout. The company continues to be a reliable cash generator for the Tata Group and a top dividend payer on Dalal Street. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
