The Giant of Entertainment Comes to Indian Homes
LG Electronics India Limited (LGEIL) today introduced its 292 cm (115") QNED evo AI Mini LED TV, the largest model in its 2026 QNED evo lineup. Positioned as the giant of entertainment, the TV is built for viewers who want a bigger and more immersive way to watch, bringing the scale of the cinema, the energy of the stadium and the intensity of gaming into the living room.
Powered by LG’s Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen3, the 292 cm (115") QNED evo combines Mini LED picture quality with AI-based picture and sound technologies, so that colour, contrast and detail hold up across every inch of the ultra-large screen.
Brian Jung, Director – Media Entertainment Solution, LG Electronics India, said: “The 292 cm (115")QNED evo Mini LED TV reflects our commitment to creating more immersive home entertainment experiences. By combining ultra-large screen technology with enhanced picture quality, AI-powered sound and advanced gaming features, we are giving consumers new ways to enjoy their favourite sports, movies and games at home. True to its name as the giant of entertainment, it brings the scale of the cinema, the energy of the stadium and the thrill of gaming together on one screen.
One Screen, Four Big Experiences
Bringing the Cinema Home
On a screen this large, picture quality has to work harder. The 292 cm (115") QNED evo uses Precision Dimming Ultra to control thousands of local dimming zones, revealing fine detail in dark scenes while keeping bright highlights crisp. The result is deeper blacks, cleaner highlights and stronger contrast, with depth preserved even in shadow-heavy scenes.
Dynamic QNED Color Pro optimises colour mapping, so tones stay rich and accurate even in bright HDR scenes. It is certified by Intertek for 100 percent Color Volume1, enabling faithful colour reproduction across the full 292 cm (115") screen.
The Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen3, which draws on 13 years of LG OLED leadership to bring LG’s OLED light-control capability to QNED, also powers AI Super Upscaling. Using deep learning, it analyses on-screen objects and refines texture, edges and fine detail, so 4K visuals look natural and stay crisp on the big screen. AI Picture Pro enhances faces, bodies and other key elements to improve perceived depth, while Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro analyses each frame to refine resolution, brightness and clarity.
Recreating the Stadium Atmosphere
The 292 cm (115") QNED evo is built to make live sport feel bigger. Its wide colour range adds impact to bright sports scenes, while AI Sound Pro creates virtual 11.1.2-channel surround sound through the TV’s built-in speakers, delivering clearer spatial separation and a more immersive soundstage. Together with AI Super Upscaling and Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro, it brings a stadium-scale experience to sports and big-action content.
With the webOS 26 platform, fans can also keep up with the game without leaving the screen. Sports Portal brings live content, scores, match schedules and league standings into one place, and Sports Alert sends notifications for chosen teams and leagues. Key stats such as match progress and game-result predictions appear on an on-screen AI Concierge card, helping viewers follow several games at once.
Elevating Gaming Immersion
For gamers, the 292 cm (115") QNED evo turns its ultra-large screen into a responsive gaming display. It supports variable refresh rate (VRR) up to 165Hz, AMD FreeSync™ Premium and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), keeping rapid in-game action sharp, highly responsive and free of lag.
The new Motion Booster raises the refresh rate to 330Hz, significantly reducing motion blur and keeping visuals smooth in fast-paced shooters and racing games, where split-second reactions matter. LG Gaming Portal adds an all-in-one destination with access to thousands of cloud gaming services and native web games.
Giant-Screen Entertainment, Made Smarter
As the largest model in LG’s 2026 QNED evo lineup, the 292 cm (115") TV pairs its scale with AI-based personalisation on webOS 26. With Voice ID, the TV recognises each user and automatically loads their personalised My Page home screen. AI Concierge gives context-aware suggestions and quick access to useful functions based on what is being watched. Multi-AI support, powered by Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot, lets users ask questions, check information and search for related content while watching.
All of this is secured by LG Shield, a CES 2026 Innovation Award-winning technology that uses advanced encryption to keep user data and personalised experiences safe.

i-choose India’s first Ovulation Testing Kit Launches New Campaign On How Timing Is Key To Conception
* Campaign films: https://youtu.be/C39GRGOBflM; https://youtu.be/mKwasu0L57w
i-choose, India’s first Ovulation Testing Kit, has launched a new campaign, ‘The Pre-pregnancy Test,’ starring brand ambassador Shriya Pilgaonkar. Conceptualised by McCann India, part of Omnicom Advertising India, the campaign encourages couples trying to conceive to move beyond guesswork and better understand when to try.
Most couples are familiar with a pregnancy test, the test they take after trying. Far fewer think about the test that can come before it. By positioning the i-choose Ovulation Testing Kit as ‘The Pre-pregnancy Test,’ the campaign makes ovulation testing easier to understand and more relevant to them who are in the trying-to-conceive journey. The at-home test helps identify the 5 best days to try for a baby, helping couples make more informed decisions around timing.
The campaign stems from a simple consumer insight: when trying to conceive, couples often make several changes in their effort to do everything right, from eating healthier and exercising to improving their daily routines but may overlook the importance of knowing when to try. i-choose aims to encourage couples to incorporate ovulation testing as a habit into their journey of trying for a baby. “Don’t try harder. Try smarter” forms the creative approach to bring this message alive, shifting the conversation from simply doing more to being better informed about the right time to try.
One of the campaign films brings this thought alive through the warmth of sisterhood. Shriya Pilgaonkar plays a trusted friend who finds her friend attempting fertility yoga as part of her efforts to conceive. Seeing her struggle with the routine, Shriya introduces her to the i-choose Ovulation Testing Kit and the idea of the ‘Pre-pregnancy Test’, explaining how it can help identify her 5 best days to try. Through light humour and an easy conversation between friends, the film shows that while couples may be doing several things as part of their conception journey, understanding their fertile window is an important step to consider.
A second film takes the conversation into the bedroom and brings the couple’s dynamic into focus. Shriya Pilgaonkar shows her husband the ovulation testing stick, which he initially mistakes for a pregnancy test. She playfully introduces it as the ‘Pre-pregnancy Test’ and explains that it helps identify her 5 best days to try for a baby. The film uses chemistry and humour to make a typically clinical conversation around ovulation more natural and relatable, while reinforcing that trying for a baby is a journey couples can navigate together.
Commenting on the launch, Abhishek Kumar Shrivastav, CMO, Piramal Consumer Healthcare, At i-choose, we believe that making informed choices begins with having the right information. When couples plan to conceive, much of the focus is on lifestyle changes and preparing for pregnancy, while understanding the right time to try often gets overlooked. With ‘The Pre-pregnancy Test’, we want to bring this missing piece into the conversation and encourage couples to see ovulation testing as an integral part of their conception journey. The campaign is designed to challenge existing perceptions through a relatable, light-hearted narrative that makes an important scientific insight easy to understand and act on.
Adding on, Anusheela Saha, Head of Creative, McCann India, said, “The journey to pregnancy can often become a checklist for many couples, making it feel like hard work. That became the heart of our campaign: Don't try harder. Try smarter. We wanted to make this thought feel less like medical advice and more like a piece of advice you'd get from a trusted friend. So, through Shriya Pilgaonkar and the warmth of sisterhood, we bring a little humour to a journey that can often feel stressful and overwhelming, while introducing ovulation testing as a simple, science-backed step to know your best days to try and an important step in this journey.”
The campaign is live across digital platforms including YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.

TCFM Completes 10 Years, Scales Operations To 140 Mn Sq Ft Across 30 Cities
What began in 2016 as a dedicated workforce capability within the Embassy Services ecosystem has since evolved into a comprehensive facility management organisation, spanning integrated facility management and specialised services. Over the past decade, TCFM (Technique Control Facility Management) has expanded its scale, capabilities and geographic footprint, emerging as a significant player in India’s evolving facility management landscape.
Over the following decade, that evolution has been shaped by a series of defining business milestones.
10 Years. 10 Defining Milestones
1. 2016 | The Foundation
TCFM became part of Embassy Services Private Limited (ESPL) in 2016, establishing a dedicated workforce capability for facility and property management. The move was anchored in the need for greater control over workforce governance, training, compliance and service delivery, while strengthening ESPL’s broader approach to building critical capabilities in-house.
2. Workforce | 500 to 15,000
From an initial workforce of approximately 500, TCFM has grown to 16,000 over the past decade. Beyond the 30x manpower increase, this growth reflects the organisation’s focus on developing a professionally governed, increasingly skilled workforce capable of supporting complex facility operations.
3. Geographic Expansion | 30 Cities, 12 States
TCFM expanded from its initial operating footprint to 30 cities across 12 states, creating a wider delivery network to support clients across diverse operating environments. This geographic expansion has accompanied the company’s growing presence across commercial, manufacturing, healthcare and hospitality sectors.
4. Client Scale | 200+ Clients Locations
Over the decade, TCFM has built a portfolio of more than 200 client locations across the broader real estate ecosystem. Its sectoral growth has particularly accelerated across commercial, manufacturing, healthcare and hospitality, with each segment adding new operational complexities and broadening the organisation’s delivery expertise.
5. Scale of Operations | 140 Mn Sq Ft
TCFM today manages more than 140 million sq. ft., marking a significant expansion in the scale and complexity of its operations. The growth in managed area has required the organisation to build stronger processes, governance mechanisms and specialised capabilities that can operate consistently across a diverse portfolio.
6. Capability Expansion | TCFM Plus
TCFM’s evolution has extended beyond the traditional integrated facility management model. The introduction of our new service line - TCFM Plus brings together specialised capabilities across safety, compliance, training, audits and specialised cleaning, enabling the organisation to address a wider range of operational requirements under an integrated framework.
7. Operating Governance | 80+ SOPs
As its footprint expanded, TCFM strengthened the governance architecture supporting service delivery. Today, its operating framework includes 80 SOPs, alongside 230+ annual site audits, 350+ site due diligences and 104+ annual site transitions—creating greater process discipline and consistency across its operations.
8. People & Skilling | 3,700+ Training Sessions
Building workforce capability has remained central to TCFM’s growth. The organisation conducts more than 3,700 training sessions annually, supported by five training centres, 100+ training modules and 8,000+ onsite training hours. This structured learning ecosystem is designed to build a workforce equipped for the increasingly sophisticated requirements of modern facility management.
9. Technology | Data-led FM
Technology has increasingly become an enabler of TCFM’s operating model, helping move facility management from reactive service delivery towards greater visibility and data-led decision-making. Its technology ecosystem includes IFMS dashboards, IoT/BMS integration, digital reporting and monitoring systems, alongside technology-enabled audits and operational processes.
10. Standards & Certifications | 4 ISO Certifications
With scale has come a greater focus on standardisation, accountability and operational discipline. TCFM has built its operating framework around established processes and holds four ISO certifications, reinforcing its focus on consistent service delivery and structured operational practices across its growing footprint.
Dharmvir Singh, Country Head, TCFM, said, “The next phase of facility management will be defined by how effectively we integrate people, processes, technology and governance to meet evolving business needs. At TCFM, we are building on our operational experience by strengthening our specialised service capabilities through initiatives such as TCFM Plus, investing in skilling, enhancing governance and adopting technology to improve visibility and consistency across operations. Our focus is on building a future-ready organisation that delivers quality, meets evolving regulatory and ESG requirements, and creates sustainable value for our clients. As the industry evolves, our priority remains to strengthen our capabilities while keeping our people at the centre of our growth.”

The Capgemini Group reported Q3 2026 revenues of €6,073 million, up +12.6% at current exchange rates and +11.7% at constant exchange rates[*].
Aiman Ezzat, Chief Executive Officer of the Capgemini Group, said: “Capgemini delivered another solid quarter, with growth of +11.7% at constant exchange rates and underlying growth close to Q2, once again outperforming the industry. In a stable demand environment, we continue to see strong momentum in North America and the United Kingdom, and a clear acceleration in France.
Our strategy, focused on the new value pools created by AI, is translating into tangible business traction. Clients are now focused on deploying AI at enterprise scale, while addressing challenges related to governance, cost and security. This is driving demand for the modernization of their technology and data foundations, the critical prerequisite for the agentic enterprise. At the same time, clients are transforming their business operations with agentic AI, as reflected in another quarter of double-digit like-for-like growth in Intelligent Business Operations, strengthened by WNS’s scale and capabilities. We are also capturing opportunities in the defense sector and around sovereignty, as clients place greater emphasis on control and strategic resilience.
Capgemini is uniquely positioned to make AI real for its clients, combining technology, deep industry expertise, business transformation and operational execution, and increasingly leveraging an expanded partner ecosystem. We expect to maintain this momentum and target, on a higher comparison basis, a constant currency growth of 3% to 4% in Q4. On the strength of this quarter, we are raising our 2026 revenue growth target to +9.0% to +9.5% at constant exchange rates, while confirming our operating margin and organic free cash flow objectives.”

Badree Komandur, MD & Group CEO, commented on the performance and said, “Strides delivered a strong second quarter, with revenue of ₹14,297m growing ~17% YoY, driven by Ex-US Markets. Our diversification strategy continues to play out, with Ex-US Markets growing 31% YoY to ₹6,963m and, for the first time, surpassing our US business in quarterly revenue. Our US business delivered 9% YoY growth. EBITDA grew to ₹2,509m, crossing the ₹2,500m mark in a quarter for the first time. This was despite higher raw material, freight and operating costs arising from geopolitical disruptions. We remain focused on mitigating these pressures through continuous cost optimization initiatives during the year. Net Debt increased by ₹2,114m during H1 due to an elongated cash-to-cash cycle and higher inventory holding to navigate current market conditions. We expect the Net Debt to EBITDA ratio to stabilize by the end of the year. We are also pleased to welcome Mr. Biren Gabhawala to our Board as an Independent Director. His deep expertise in financial reporting, audit and corporate governance will further strengthen the Board’s oversight. While the external environment remains dynamic, we are committed to delivering sustainable and profitable growth.”
