Ex-Tata employee leaves posh property to caregiver's granddaughter who brought him love in his final years
In a touching story of love beyond blood ties , a city civil court has granted a young woman the right to inherit a flat left to her by an 89-year-old man who cared for her like a daughter. Gustad Borjorji Engineer , a former employee of Tata Industries , passed away in February 2014. A month before his death, he wrote a will leaving behind his 159-square yard flat in Shahibaug, Ahmedabad, to 13-year-old Amisha Makwana, the granddaughter of his long-time caregiver.

His wife had died in 2001, and he had no surviving legal heirs. Over the years, he developed a close bond with young Amisha, who often visited his home with her grandmother, who worked for the Engineer family as a cook. According to the will, written on 12 January 2014 in the presence of two witnesses and notarised, Engineer wanted Amisha to have the flat. At the time, she was still a minor, so he named his nephew, Behram Engineer, as the executor and her legal guardian until she reached adulthood. In 2023, Amisha approached the city civil court through her lawyer, advocate Adil Saiyed, to request probate of the will, the legal process that confirms a will is valid. She told the court that she had lived with Engineer, cared for him, and that he saw her as family. Out of love and affection, he had left her the property. Live Events The court issued a public notice asking if anyone had objections to the will, but no one came forward. Engineer's own brother even submitted a No Objection Certificate in Amisha's favour. On 2 August 2025, the court granted probate and issued her a succession certificate, officially transferring ownership of the property to her. Now an adult working in the human resources department of a private firm, Amisha fondly remembers her bond with the man she called 'Tai.' 'He was like both my mother and father. Until I was 13, he was my protective shield,' she told The Times of India (TOI). She also revealed that Engineer had once considered adopting her, but ultimately chose not to. 'He didn't want to change my religion or identity. He knew adoption might separate me from my own parents. He always hoped that I would receive love and care from both families,' she said.

With AI at the core, Heizen has a new model for software development at scale
Historically, software releases were achieved through immense scale, increased engineering, prolonged cycles, and ever-growing expenses. Heizen, a young startup working between Bengaluru and San Francisco, is providing a distinct alternative to this model. Heizen achieves faster and leaner high-quality software with measurable outcomes by integrating AI agents into small, agile engineering teams. The company recently raised $500,000 in pre-seed funding from Titan Capital and Aman Arora, CEO and Co-founder of Heizen, says the capital is not for experimentation, but to build foundational infrastructure for scale. 'We have spent the last year proving that a new model of software delivery is not only possible, it is inevitable. AI agents working alongside elite engineers unlock a 10x improvement in how software gets built,' Arora said. Productivity Tool Zero to Hero in Microsoft Excel: Complete Excel guide By Metla Sudha Sekhar View Program Finance Introduction to Technical Analysis & Candlestick Theory By Dinesh Nagpal View Program Finance Financial Literacy i e Lets Crack the Billionaire Code By CA Rahul Gupta View Program Digital Marketing Digital Marketing Masterclass by Neil Patel By Neil Patel View Program Finance Technical Analysis Demystified- A Complete Guide to Trading By Kunal Patel View Program Productivity Tool Excel Essentials to Expert: Your Complete Guide By Study at home View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Arora, who previously held leadership roles at JP Morgan and IHS Markit, co-founded Heizen with Abhilasha Singh, an ex-Microsoft engineering lead with a master's in Machine Learning from TU Munich, and Nijansh Verma, a GTM leader based in San Francisco. Together, they are building what they describe as the next generation of software delivery infrastructure , blending machine precision with human judgment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 32 Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Smaller teams, smarter systems Heizen focuses on pods: compact, cross-functional groups comprising engineers, designers, and AI agents. Each of these agents has a specific purpose: Helix writes code, the PM Agent plans sprints, and others handle deployment and QA. The goal is to eliminate waste, enabling humans to focus on high-impact work like planning, debugging, and strategy. Live Events 'A typical codebase migration that takes three to six months in a traditional setup can now be completed in just three weeks,' Arora explained. 'AI agents handle the execution work in parallel, while senior engineers oversee direction and quality.' Today, 30 to 40 percent of Heizen's delivery cycle is already powered by agents, and that number is increasing each month. Investor backing Titan Capital was the startup's first choice for investment, due to funds and shared conviction. 'They saw what others didn't—that the future of software delivery isn't about adding more people, but building smarter systems,' Arora said. 'Kunal and Rohit understood from the start that engineers remain critical even in an AI-first world. They have backed that belief with support, clarity, and experience.' Titan is not involved in daily operations but actively helps Heizen grow through strategy and connections. Manik Pasricha, Vice President at Titan Capital says the Heizen team had a level of clarity and purpose that is rare at the pre-seed stage. 'Their understanding of how artificial intelligence can be embedded meaningfully into the software development process is both practical and forward-looking. What stood out to us was their focus on delivering real value through a combination of strong engineering practices and thoughtful product design. Aman and his co-founders have built a model that prioritises outcomes, client alignment, and execution speed, without compromising on quality. We see long-term potential in the way they are approaching this space, and we are pleased to support their journey from the very beginning," Pasricha says. From pricing to delivery Heizen has also moved away from traditional pricing models. Rather than hourly billing or tracking engineers, the company bills based on results. Clients pay for value, not volume. It has gained popularity with early-stage startups and mid-market teams, especially in SaaS, AI tools, and customer success platforms. These companies often need quick turnarounds, product-level thinking, and strong execution from day one. Heizen says weekly sprints let them release new features and workflows while avoiding inflexible delivery schedules. Recently, the company helped a B2B SaaS startup with customer insights integration across Salesforce, Gong, and product data, and modernised a 30-year-old legacy system for a biomedical enterprise. 'These teams are building fast and can't wait six months for delivery. They are looking for speed, precision, and deep integration of AI tools into their stack,' said Arora. Heizen says it is already clocking over 100 sprints a month, and the team is gearing up to scale that to 1,000 as the platform matures. They anticipate reaching $10 million ARR in the next 12-18 months, given their current progress. The company continues to focus on the U.S. market, despite rising interest from European and Southeast Asian founders and innovation teams. 'If we're stepping into a new market, we want to be sure we can show up with the same level of speed and execution our clients already count on,' said Arora. Future forward India's IT sector has been recently in the news because of large-scale layoffs, which has substantially increased the number of people on the hunt for a job. Heizen, however, says it isn't heavily recruiting from big IT layoffs, but is keeping an eye out for talents wanting new challenges. Heizen says it wants engineers who are curious, product-focused, full-stack generalists ready to work alongside AI. 'There's a growing wave of engineers in India who want to solve harder problems, who are tired of assembly-line delivery. Those are the people we are building this team with,' said Arora. As global tech services enter a period of recalibration, Heizen says it is working on a different tempo—fast, focused, and AI-native by design. There is no attempt to upend the legacy giants or declare disruption. The idea is simple but potent: develop a quicker, more intelligent software delivery method, iteration by iteration.

Vietnam trade beats estimates as buyers race Trump tariffs
Vietnam's exports jumped more than expected in July, with buyers racing to avoid a 20% tariff on the country's exports to the US set to take effect on Aug. 7. Exports rose 16% in July from a year earlier to $42.3 billion, the statistics office said in a statement, beating expectations of 14% growth. Imports rose 17.8% in the period to $40 billion, more than the 15.2% forecast. The trade surplus was $2.27 billion, versus $2.83 billion released in June.

The country was initially threatened with a 46% import levy, though that has been lowered to 20%, just one percentage point more than for neighbors Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo 'Vietnam posted impressive export figures in July, mostly because companies were rushing to ship goods to the US ahead of the Trump tariffs ,' said Tran Tuan Minh, chief executive officer of TVI, a Hanoi-based equity research and investment firm. 'We expect exports to slow significantly later this year, mainly due to the 20% tariffs and especially the 40% rate on transshipments, which still remains quite unclear at this point.' The government said in a statement Wednesday that trade negotiators are working to 'actively continue' talks with Washington. It also reiterated plans to diversify its markets, aiming for trade agreements with the Middle East and India, while increasing domestic consumption of Vietnamese goods. Live Events Exports to the US rose 26% in July from a year earlier to $14.2 billion, according to separate customs data released Wednesday. Imports from China increased 30.5% to about $16.7 billion in July. Net exports to the US account for roughly a fifth of Vietnam's gross domestic product, and the tariffs pose a threat to factories which have boomed as companies have diversified their supply chains from China. Bloomberg The data was generally positive, with consumer prices rising 3.19% on year, slower than the 3.40% economist estimate and the 3.57% pace of June. Industrial production rose 8.5% on year, and 0.5% compared with June. Commodity exports also gained, with coffee exports rising to 103,000 tons, a 34.6% rise on a year earlier. The economy has been powering along in 2025, with gross domestic product rising 7.96% in the April-June period from a year earlier, according to data released last month. The government is aiming for 8% growth in 2025, though it's unclear whether the new US tariffs will derail that push.
