AI is transforming Indian call centers. What does it mean for workers?
GURGAON, India — For three years, Kartikeya Kumar hesitated before picking up the phone, anticipating another difficult conversation with another frustrated customer. The call center agent, now 29, had tried everything to eliminate what a colleague called the 'Indian-ism' in his accent. He mimicked the dialogue from Marvel movies and belted out songs by Metallica and Pink Floyd. Relief finally arrived in the form of artificial intelligence.

Bharti Airtel, the group's flagship company, has since emerged as one of the leading global communications solutions providers with over 550 Mn customers in 15 countries across India and Africa. Bharti Airtel ranks amongst the top three mobile operators globally and its networks cover over two billion people. In India, Worldmark at the national capital is a renowned address. Bharti Real Estate, the realty arm of Bharti Enterprises and owner of Worldmark, plans to build the best Global Business District in the nation at Aerocity, New Delhi, adding over 17 million square feet of gross leasable area to its Worldmark portfolio with an investment of approximately 2 billion USD. Previous research has identified the top three global attractiveness factors of Global Business Districts (GBDs): talent concentration, business efficiency, and instant connectivity, among others like social infrastructure, wellness, and sustainability. Mr. S. K. Sayal, MD & CEO, Bharti Real Estate said, "India must promptly prepare to accommodate forward-thinking corporations and brands, as it is increasingly acknowledged as one of the world's fastest-growing economies. In contrast to conventional commercial complexes, these businesses and brands are interested in ecosystems that are assessed according to global standards. Our precise objective is to achieve this by providing Worldmark GBD with unparalleled leasing opportunities with our offices and retail spaces to the most reputable corporations and brands, who are currently experiencing exponential growth and are focussing on India as a potential market for this growth." New Delhi has been yearning for a purpose-built commercial district for quite some time. A lack of contemporary commercial premises, much less business districts, has been out of place in India's capital, a city that is rich in history, culture, connectedness, and power. These days, businesses and brands are looking for locations that provide their employees and visitors with great commuting options, access to world-class infrastructure, a sense of safety and security, easy parking, and a social life that promotes happiness and productivity.

For Offices, the Global Business District, Worldmark provides on-lease offices anywhere from 2000 to 2,000,000 sq ft on a single floor plate, making it ideal for ambitious multinationals targeting India. The offices are campus-style and accessible by a multi modal mobility network. Worldmark's proximity to the airport and excitingly the airport being at the centerPoint for New Delhi provides it a unique advantage in the commute to work, one of the world's most pressing issues for businesses and people. Worldmark can be reached from anywhere in India or the world via neighbouring airports and adjacent national highways. Rapid metro lines in the multi-mobility network cover 100 km in about an hour. Worldmark as a destination has demonstrated a strong desire for a substantial retail opportunity, which would cater to the 0.2 million workforce, walk-in visitors coming from national and international locations, and leisure travellers from the nearby hotels. The answer to this mega opportunity is The Mall, an expansive approx. 2.8 mn retail destination in the country comprising of an exclusive luxury zone, a generous family shopping and recreation zone and the largest indoor entertainment avenue, the country would have ever witnessed before. While development continues, Offices and the Mega Retail have experienced a surge in pre-leasing enquiries, with several major companies already committing to Worldmark. Worldmark 3.0 and Worldmark 4.0 will add 10 million sq ft to the portfolio over the next three to five years. For this 10 mn square feet Bharti Real Estate is getting several Built-to-Suit campus requests from multinational businesses. *Worldmark is a registered trademark of Bharti Realty Ltd.

Israel-Iran tensions: 'One-third of Iranian regime's missile launchers dismantled', claims IDF; watch video
Screengrab from clip shared by IDF The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) on Monday claimed to have dismantled "one-third of Iran's missile launchers" in last night's attack, as tensions between the Jewish state and Tehran continue to peak over uranium enrichment and the possibility that the Khamenei-led nation may soon develop nuclear weapons. The IDF shared footage of attacks on Iranian sites, saying that they dismantled over 20 surface-to-surface Iranian missiles "minutes before they were to be launched toward Israel's home front". "Approx. 100 military targets were struck in Isfahan, central Iran. Around 50 fighter jets and aircraft identified and struck missile storage sites and surface-to-surface missile launchers that were ready for launch toward Israel," the IDF claimed on X. It further wrote: "With this, we can now say that 1/3rd of the Iranian regime's missile launchers have been dismantled." Earlier, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi accused Israel of trying to widen the scope of the ongoing conflict by targeting a key gas facility along the Gulf coast. 'Dragging the conflict into the Persian Gulf region is a major strategic mistake, likely deliberate and intended to extend the war beyond Iranian territory,' Araghchi said during a meeting with foreign diplomats. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Exclusive Pre-Launch Offers – SPR Gurgaon Signature Global Book Now Undo The minister's remarks came in response to Israel's strike on a gas installation operating in the South Pars field, located offshore near Iran's southern Bushehr province. The site is critical, providing nearly 70 per cent of Iran's domestic natural gas supply. The South Pars/North Dome gas field, shared between Iran and Qatar, is considered the largest known natural gas reserve in the world. Iran has been actively developing its portion of the field since the late 1990s. On Saturday, Iranian media reported a "massive explosion" and a subsequent fire after an Israeli drone attack targeted facilities at Phase 14 of the South Pars project. Calling the incident "an extremely dangerous move," Araghchi warned that military escalation in the Gulf "could involve the entire region -- and possibly the whole world." The attack on South Pars came shortly after Israel's large-scale offensive on Friday, which struck nuclear sites, military installations, residential areas, and reportedly killed senior Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists. In retaliation, Iran launched a deadly missile barrage against Israel, killing at least 10 people overnight on Sunday and injuring dozens more.

Gensol Engineering's Top Executives Resign Amid SEBI Probe
Meanwhile, Evera Cabs (Prakriti Mobility) has repossessed around 500 electric cabs previously operated by BluSmart. Although Uber was reportedly in talks to acquire BluSmart's fleet, the deal appears to have stalled. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Gensol Engineering Limited announced that its Managing Director Anmol Singh Jaggi and Whole-time Director Puneet Singh Jaggi have resigned from their positions, effective May 12, 2025. According to a report by Entrackr, both executives cited compliance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) Interim Order dated April 15, 2025, as the reason behind their exit. Their resignations also include stepping down from all board committees. SEBI recently ordered a forensic audit of Gensol's financial records from FY22 to FY25 and barred the Jaggi brothers from accessing the securities market and holding key positions within the company. The interim order alleged that the promoters siphoned off company funds—borrowed for electric vehicle purchases meant for their affiliate BluSmart—for personal use. The funds were reportedly used to buy a luxury apartment in Gurgaon, golf equipment, foreign currency, and to finance overseas travel. The leadership vacuum at Gensol comes at a critical time. The company has not yet announced replacements or board restructuring plans. The situation has also impacted BluSmart, Gensol's EV mobility partner. Following the crisis, BluSmart suspended operations in Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi. The company, backed by BP Ventures and Mayfield, is facing protests from drivers over unpaid dues and job losses. Meanwhile, Evera Cabs (Prakriti Mobility) has repossessed around 500 electric cabs previously operated by BluSmart. Although Uber was reportedly in talks to acquire BluSmart's fleet, the deal appears to have stalled. BluSmart is now said to be in talks with two distressed asset funds focused on climate and mobility sectors for a possible revival. However, given the seriousness of the SEBI allegations and the financial distress, the future of both Gensol Engineering and BluSmart remains uncertain.
