Indore development body to sell flats, plots & shops to boost revenue, targets ₹261 crore
INDORE : Indore Development Authority (IDA) is set to generate substantial revenue by selling its vacant plots, flats, and shops, with a target of Rs 261 crore in the coming days. A decision to sell 600 flats, 40 shops, and 24 plots was made during an IDA board meeting, chaired by the Divisional Commissioner Deepak Singh, Collector Asheesh Singh , IMC Commissioner Shivam Verma, and IDA CEO RP Ahirwar among other officials on Friday. The authority will soon issue tenders for these properties, aiming to meet the housing needs of the general public. The IDA has already prepared a comprehensive list of all properties. The board meeting also saw key approvals for infrastructure projects. An agency was finalised to conduct the feasibility survey and prepare tender documents for the 'elevated corridor' extending from Malwa Mill Square to Rasoma Square via Patnipura Square. Additionally, an agency was approved for the feasibility survey and tender proposals for flyovers at Rasoma Square and Ring Road's Robot Square. These approvals follow a previous board meeting where the decision to conduct feasibility studies at all three locations was made, and tenders were subsequently invited. The IDA board also decided to provide Rs 16.98 crore to the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC). This amount will be used to treat sewage emanating from the sewerage treatment plant in Scheme No. 166. In another significant decision, an industrial plot in Scheme 78 Phase-2 was allotted to the Food Corporation of India (FCI). Furthermore, a plot on the Super Corridor was allocated to the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (Mandi). The board also sanctioned minimum tenders worth Rs 90 crore for various development works and essential facilities across different schemes. These include the construction of a bridge over the Kanh River on MR-12, the building of a 34 lakh-litre capacity water tank in Scheme 151 and 169B, and other approved works under various development plans.

AI in DevSecOps: Transforming cybersecurity and creating new career pathways
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword, it's a critical force reshaping careers across the tech ecosystem. One of the most exciting intersections lies at the heart of Dev Sec Ops, where development, security, and operations meet. As organisations race to secure digital assets in an increasingly cloud-native, agile environment, AI is redefining not only how we defend systems but also who's needed to do explore what this shift means on the ground, we turned to Abhishek Nimdia, Senior QA Automation Engineer at Uline Inc, whose career spans giants like Infosys and includes deep experience in embedding AI into secure software workflows. His journey offers powerful insights into where this field is heading, and what it takes to thrive in to the Git Lab 2024 Global Dev Sec Ops Report,78% of organisations have already integrated AI into their software development pipelines, or plan to do so in the next two years. This surge is unlocking new job roles, upskilling demands, and opportunities for both seasoned professionals and students entering the workforce. Rethinking Security with AI'AI is pushing Dev Sec Ops into new era,' says Abhishek. 'What used to be manual, reactive testing is now becoming proactive and intelligent.'advertisementToday's AI tools can scan codebases for vulnerabilities in real time, dynamically adapt test scripts, and even provide predictive analytics that help teams catch security issues before they surface. These capabilities not only accelerate development but significantly reduce the risk of breaches caused by human these gains come with complexity. 'AI is powerful, but it's not perfect. It can sometimes act like a black box and throw false positives,' Abhishek cautions. 'That's why human judgment is still essential.'Careers at the Intersection of AI, Security, and DevOpsFor learners and job- seekers, this is more than a tech evolution—it's a career revolution. Organizations are actively hunting for talent that understands both cybersecurity and automation, layered with basic AI literacy.'It's not enough to just write test scripts any more,' says Abhishek. 'You need to think in terms of automation strategies, risk analysis, and how AI can enable secure-by-design development.' He recalls how, at Infosys, entire teams had to be upskilled to adapt to AI-enhanced Dev Sec Ops multidisciplinary need is giving rise to hybrid career roles: AI Security Engineers, Dev Sec Ops Analysts, and ML Ops Architects. Whether you're a computer science student or a cybersecurity enthusiast, there's never been a better time to prepare for these cross-functional Ecosystems, and Responsible AIadvertisementBeyond tools and scripts, responsible AI use is becoming a core discussion point, and one that aspiring professionals must be aware of. As a Senior Member of IEEE, Abhishek regularly contributes to global forums focused on ethical AI deployment.'Explainability, transparency, and bias mitigation are hot topics,'he explains.'It's not just about building fast; it's about building fair and secure.'Students and young professionals can gain an edge by engaging in such conversations early, through webinars, industry certifications, or open-source collaborations that emphasise ethical Your Tech CareerThe rise of AI in DevSecOps marks a turning point: not just in technology, but in talent development. With growing demand for professionals who can bridge AI, automation, and security, those willing to learn across disciplines are poised to how should future professionals prepare?Learn the fundamentals: Start with programming (Python, Java), cybersecurity basics, and DevOps workflows. Get hands-on integrations like machine learning-based code skill continuously: Online courses in AI ethics, cloud security, and automation testing can make your profile stand industry voices for real-world perspectives that can help guide your learning journey.'AI isn't here to replace us,' Abhishek reminds. 'It's here to amplify us, to make us faster, smarter, and more effective.'Whether you're an engineering student,a cybersecurity trainee, or a working techie aiming to stay relevant, the fusion of AI and Dev Sec Ops of fersa frontier full of promise.
