Indias Startup Wave Merges AI With Tradition For Smarter Daily Solutions
New Delhi: As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, a new wave of Indian entrepreneurs is finding innovative ways to integrate the technology with traditional tools, transforming everyday experiences into smarter, more efficient solutions. From note-taking to productivity, these startups are reimagining the familiar through the lens of technology. Their efforts are not only capturing the attention of users but are also gaining recognition from government bodies and international platforms alike, marking India's growing presence in the global innovation landscape. Many such solutions were showcased at the recently concluded 25th edition of the Gifts World Expo in the national capital. Hyderabad-based ReNote AI, which has built smart reusable notebooks integrated with an AI-powered mobile app that transforms handwritten notes into editable, searchable digital text, says the expo is helping the company attract new customers. Interestingly, these enquiries are also revealing new use cases for its engineering and design team. Suman Balabommu, Founder of ReNote AI, said, "While exhibiting here, multiple people came up with different use cases. So I got the opportunity to explore several new applications as well." Recognised by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and Google as one of the top 100 Indian mobile apps, the startup has also showcased its innovation at the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX) in Dubai and the Osaka World Expo. Speaking about what attracts foreign buyers to the company's solution, Balabommu said that scientific studies have proven writing on paper improves focus, memory, and creativity. "ReNote AI preserves these benefits while eliminating the limitations of traditional notebooks. Inspired by these findings, we are gaining recognition on global platforms," he added. "Compared to India, other countries are showing greater preference. When I exhibited in Dubai, people saw great opportunities. Many were ready to invest in the products and help expand the business in the UAE and beyond," Balabommu added. ReNote AI's reusable smart notebook, powered by AI and cloud syncing, reduces paper waste and ensures your notes remain safe for a lifetime—all while being environmentally conscious. "ReNote AI is not just a product; it's a movement to bring back a culture of mindful, healthy, and sustainable writing," he said. ReNote AI utilises artificial intelligence to convert handwriting into text in real time and provides AI-powered summaries for instant insights. With features such as multi-language translation, automatic task and calendar syncing, and sketch-to-image generation through generative AI, Indian startups are showcasing their growing ambition to blend AI with traditional tools.

Dubai traffic: DIFC roads are getting an upgrade as RTA awards new project
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is continuing its mission to improve traffic flow across the city, with the latest changes aimed at easing congestion in key areas. The RTA has awarded the contract for the large Al Mustaqbal Street Development Project and it's about to make the traffic in DIFC much better. The road improvements will be from the intersection with Za'abeel Palace Street to Financial Centre Street and will cost a total of Dhs633 million. There will be construction of bridges and tunnels extending 1,700 metres, and widening of the street from three to four lanes in each direction. The development will increase the road's capacity by 33%, from 6,600 to 8,800 vehicles per hour in both directions and reduce travel time by over half, from 13 minutes to 6 minutes. Anyone who has used the roads in DIFC during rush hour will welcome this project. The project will help the traffic flow in several key areas and roads such as DIFC, the Dubai World Trade Centre that hosts major global exhibitions such as GITEX, Arabian Travel Market, Arab Health, Gulfood, and the Transport Exhibition. The project will no doubt assist in the flow of traffic for these large events. There are 40 areas being improved by RTA throughout the summer as the traffic quietens down, which include 22 major streets and 9 school zones. 33 things that will help ease Dubai traffic Image: Dubai Media Office > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

Smart, Stylish, and Culturally Aware: How to Master Business Travel to the Middle East
For today's globally connected professionals, travel to the Middle East is no longer just a niche route—it's increasingly essential. From Dubai's gleaming innovation hubs to Abu Dhabi's ambitious green tech initiatives, this region has evolved into a central stage for business growth, networking, and strategic investment. But success here requires more than a flight ticket and a good pitch. It requires cultural fluency, logistical precision, and the right gear. French Quarter Magazine recently explored the foundation of smart travel to the region: choosing the right destinations with purpose and knowing exactly how to prepare for the journey. 'Top Middle Eastern Destinations French Travelers Shouldn't Miss' serves not only leisure readers, but also professionals aiming to make their trips meaningful, efficient, and culturally grounded. Let's start with geography. If your business interests include energy, logistics, luxury, or emerging tech, there's no denying that Dubai and Abu Dhabi rise to the top of the shortlist. In the destination guide published by French Quarter Magazine , Dubai is portrayed as an economic epicenter—home to world-class conferences like GITEX and the Arab Health Expo, as well as regulatory zones that support foreign-owned startups. But Dubai isn't all gloss and glass towers. The city's curated cultural enclaves—like Alserkal Avenue and the Dubai Design District—provide opportunities to engage in meaningful networking over art, coffee, or cutting-edge design installations. Just down the road, Abu Dhabi offers a different rhythm. The city is quieter but equally powerful, especially for industries tied to finance, education, sustainability, and defense. Another highlight is Louvre Abu Dhabi which is a symbol of how business in this region is often intertwined with cultural prestige. Meetings here might take place not in boardrooms, but in galleries or at cultural foundations, where the atmosphere encourages more reflective, long-term conversation. For underappreciated gems, visit places like Muscat, Doha, and Amman—ideal if your trip includes client relationship-building or regional exploration beyond the usual UAE circuit. Whether your destination is Dubai or Doha, preparation is what separates rushed travelers from confident professionals. 'What to Pack for Your First Trip' offers more than basic advice. It blends travel savvy with cultural intelligence—two essentials for navigating Middle Eastern business settings with ease. Here's how their practical guidance translates into the professional context: Climate-Controlled Style : Pack breathable, wrinkle-resistant clothing that moves easily from the boardroom to informal social settings. Think lightweight blazers, tailored chinos, and modest yet elegant dresses or tunics. Women are advised to bring a pashmina, which doubles as both a scarf and a respectful covering in more conservative environments. : Pack breathable, wrinkle-resistant clothing that moves easily from the boardroom to informal social settings.

Tech Preparedness : A universal adapter (Type G for most of the region), a compact surge protector, and noise-cancelling earbuds will keep you charged and focused. And don't forget a backup battery and HDMI dongle—essential if your pitch deck needs to be mirrored quickly in a meeting room. : A universal adapter (Type G for most of the region), a compact surge protector, and noise-cancelling earbuds will keep you charged and focused.

Cultural Awareness : Gift-giving is a gesture of goodwill in many Middle Eastern cultures. Small tokens—artisan chocolates, branded stationery, or French specialty items—can foster warmer first impressions. Pro tip: keep them in your carry-on to avoid heat damage. : Gift-giving is a gesture of goodwill in many Middle Eastern cultures. Small tokens—artisan chocolates, branded stationery, or French specialty items—can foster warmer first impressions. Pro tip: keep them in your carry-on to avoid heat damage. Desert Smart Add-ons: With site visits or excursions increasingly part of team-building experiences, throw in a reusable water bottle, sun hat, and quick-dry travel shirt. Dubai's early morning desert safaris and Abu Dhabi's eco tours at Mangrove National Park are prime examples of off-hours meetings with long-lasting impact. These insights align perfectly with the growing trend of 'bleisure' travel—the blending of business and leisure—where professionals carve out time for experiences that connect them more deeply with the region they're working in. An often-overlooked component of travel readiness is cultural literacy. Even a few Arabic phrases— marhaba (hello), shukran (thank you)—can build trust and signal respect. The relationships you build in the Middle East often carry more weight than in other business environments. A brief consultation with the local Chamber of Commerce (such as the French Business Council in Dubai or the American Chamber of Commerce in Abu Dhabi) can also open doors that email outreach never could. This region is as much about how you present yourself as it is about what you offer. Clients and partners will remember a well-prepared, well-mannered visitor far longer than someone who simply flew in and out for a pitch. The best business trips are ones that also sharpen your cultural understanding and renew your sense of purpose. As French Quarter Magazine underscores, the Middle East is a treasure trove of personal discovery. Whether you're sipping Arabic coffee with a client in a shaded majlis or wandering the halls of Louvre Abu Dhabi, your surroundings have a way of reinforcing just how interconnected business, heritage, and vision truly are in this part of the world. Business done right in the Middle East isn't just about speed—it's about understanding the rhythm of place and people. With the right insights, the right gear, and a bit of cultural grace, every professional journey here can become more than just a line on the calendar. It can be a catalyst for growth. Let your next trip be one that's not only productive—but transformative. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
