Archana Singh scales new heights—on screen and in the Himalayas!
Archana Singh may be a fresh face in Telugu cinema, but she's already a known name in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam film industries. A bold and beautiful actress with an MBA to her credit, Archana recently made headlines for her daring feat—completing the Everest Base Camp trek in the Himalayas. Hailing from Karnataka, Archana is the perfect blend of brains, beauty, and bravery. With a background that includes stints at Wipro, the ITC Group of Hotels, and a career as an air hostess with Kingfisher and Jet Airways, she has seamlessly transitioned into the world of cinema. Her Telugu debut in Damayanti – Kaushik Varma earned her appreciation, and she's now stepping into Malayalam cinema with My Father – My Hero, which is also being made in English. Off screen, Archana is a trained classical dancer who performs stage shows in her spare time. Fluent in six languages, including Telugu and Tamil, she's as articulate as she is adventurous. Reflecting on her Himalayan expedition, Archana said, 'The adrenaline rush from acting doesn't compare to the thrill of trekking Everest. It pushed me beyond my limits and gave me the confidence to overcome fears I didn't know existed.' With her sights now set on more substantial roles in Telugu films, Archana Singh is clearly on a mission to scale new peaks—both in her career and in life.

Quantum computing may soon become a scaled solution: Wipro
IT services firm Wipro expects quantum computing to become a scaled solution, probably by the end of this financial year, its chief technology officer (CTO) Sandhya Arun told ET. Agentic AI that has caught attention of the over $280 billion software services industry, is helping the Bengaluru IT major save 20-35% of manual efforts, she added. 'I think in about 2-3 quarters, we should have a strong view of what can move into scale. We're really relying on the quantum technology to evolve significantly,' said Arun in an interaction with ET. Currently, through its quantum leap program, Wipro is engaging with around six clients across life sciences, telecommunications and supply chain spaces, to create use cases that can start building POCs around quantum computing. Quantum computing is a multidisciplinary field of computing that is being worked upon by global technologists to solve complex problems faster than on classical computers. Arun said this as Wipro, backed by billionaire businessman Azim Premji, inaugurated its 60,000 sq ft global innovation lab that brings newer technologies including quantum computing, robotics and embodied artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain. 'There are one or two cases where POCs have also matured… But we cannot go to market yet and say we have achieved because the technology itself is evolving. So, it's about a readiness for technology when it hits us, like agentic AI does,' said Arun, who took charge as the CTO in August last the buzzword agentic AI, is helping the Bengaluru IT major save manual efforts, Arun did not reveal the share of codes written by AI.'Each client is different, their technology is different, the complexity of that environment is different. So anywhere between 20 to 35% is what we are seeing in terms of effort savings,' Arun said adding that the company wants to focus on measuring the success of agentic AI by the velocity with which how quickly it can take the solutions to market and impact business with accuracy than measure by the lines of code written by AI. At present, Wipro is built platforms such as AI-powered Builder for large enterprises, software companies, research and development labs, and organizations with complex software development needs; InspectAI to boost productivity through use of agentic AI relevant for manufacturing, oil and gas, energy, construction, infrastructure, and public safety. It'sblockchain-based asset tokenization platform customised for banking and financial services, real estate and supply chain industries aims to enable real-time settlement, fractional ownership, 24/7 trading, and transparent audit trails, reducing costs and inefficiencies in financial asset management. Further, the quantum-accelerated drug discovery and formulation helps pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical industries to drive rapid drug discovery bringing medications to market faster with optimised formulation by precisely calculating critical properties and faster analysis of molecules.

GenZ, Gen Alpha opt for GenAI, quantum projects, says Wipro CTO Sandhya Arun
Bengaluru: CTO Sandhya Arun said technology professionals from Gen Z and Gen Alpha show a distinct preference for projects involving newer technologies. They are particularly interested in working with Quantum, GenAI and blockchain, instead of taking up standard client projects. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Selected professionals work alongside the CTO team's specialised project units, where senior executives oversee development of these solutions. "They often tell us categorically that they are not interested in mundane day-to-day tasks. Gen Z and Gen Alpha, I think, come looking for a sense of purpose and challenge. Nobody wants to work like my generation did, just to earn an income. They're upfront about saying, "I'm not interested in mundane things; give me something more," Arun told TOI. A group of Gen Z professionals designed a user interface resolution utilising generative AI-driven code implementation. The initiative commenced with feeding intelligence via an AI-based framework to evaluate the design from a user-centric perspective. After a two-week period, they constructed a fresh interface that included system-suggested enhancements. In the following two weeks, they generated the implementation code. According to Arun, Wipro maintains six to eight special project teams simultaneously. These groups comprise between 10 and 50 individuals. The cloud digital service division, which began as a special project, has evolved into a complete business unit. However, some initiatives, such as Metaverse, did not achieve success that the team desired. Wipro has launched the Wipro Innovation Network to enhance client co-innovation. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It has opened a 60,000 sft innovation lab in Bengaluru to advance its AI-powered vision. "The network will leverage frontier technologies ranging from AI to quantum computing to solve some of the most challenging problems for our clients across industries," she said. This network focuses on five strategic frontier technology areas: Agentic AI, robotics with embodied AI, quantum computing, digital ledger technology and quantum-safe cyber resilience. It will bring together Wipro's innovation ecosystem, including the Innovation Labs, the Partner Labs, Wipro Ventures, its crowdsourcing platform Topcoder, alliances with leading academic and research institutions, and its technology talent to create an ongoing loop of ideation, research and innovation.
