WinZO Partners With FGV EAESP, Sponsors 20 Indian Game Developers For The First Ever India Pavilion At Gamescom Latam

* The move will enable export of Made in India Technology & IP, especially games representing Indian mythology, culture, and content

* WinZO is committed to investing US $50 million to expand the presence of Made in India games, IP & Technology in the LATAM.

WinZO, India's largest vernacular interactive entertainment platform announced its strategic partnership with Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EAESP), LATAM’s premier educational institution, for research projects and hiring local talent to expand rapidly in Brazil and beyond. This is further to the launch of the product in Brazil last year which also enabled over 100 partner games to immediately export their Technology & IP to Brazil. The move, which will facilitate career opportunities for current and former FGV students, ensures that WinZO attracts top-tier talent familiar with the local market, enhancing its operational effectiveness and cultural integration in Brazil. The partnership is poised to significantly deepen WinZO's presence in Brazil, extending WinZO's commitment to invest US$50 million in LATAM to expand its presence.

"We are excited about the collaboration with WinZO, which presents a unique opportunity for FGV students and alumni to engage in a global technology ecosystem. By facilitating industry experience, and employment opportunities through this partnership, WinZO is not only enriching our students' professional prospects but also contributing to the global dialogue on technological innovation and cultural exchange," commented Dr.Umesh Mukhi, Professor of Management at FGV - Fundação Getulio Vargas.

WinZO has also established the first-ever India Pavilion in partnership with Startup India under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India, at Gamescom Latam, a prominent gaming event in Latin America. The India Pavilion offers a platform for Indian content to shine on the global stage, showcasing 100 games from the game developer partners that are available on WinZO and 20 other diverse games from Indian developers, including genres like cricket, mythology, puzzles, racing, physics-based challenges, and chess. These developers, identified through WinZO’s Bharat Tech Triumph Program—a nationwide competition—have the potential to elevate India to a leadership position in the global gaming arena. The India Pavilion was inaugurated by Shri Suresh Reddy, Ambassador of India to Brazil and Marilia Marton, São Paulo's Secretary for Culture, Creative Economy, and Industries.

WinZO's expansion into the Brazilian market marks a significant milestone in its global growth strategy, aligning with India’s objectives of enhancing its tech prowess. The India Pavilion at Gamescom along with the partnership with FGV, will enable WinZO to further strengthen tech and trade in Latam.

"India and Brazil share a long-standing and cherished relationship strengthened by shared values of cooperation and sustainable development, reflected in our flourishing trade and investment ties. The launch of the India Pavilion at Gamescom Latam aims to connect our entrepreneurs and startups, fostering innovation, cultural exchange, and global expansion, especially in the gaming sector. Together, we continue to build a future of collaborative growth and mutual prosperity," said Suresh K. Reddy, Ambassador of India to Brazil, who was the Guest of Honor at the launch of the India Pavilion.

"Brazil places great emphasis on the creative economy, with online gaming serving as a powerful tool for creative expression, imagination, and innovation. It helps monetize content and showcases our culture, channeling the energy of our youth. With minimal investment, online games can be monetized globally, offering endless possibilities. Imagine Brazil’s festivals unfolding in Indian cities or games exploring ancient routes between India and Latin America. As Indian and Brazilian companies invest in each other’s gaming startups, we gain deeper insights into each other’s cultures and work ethics. Gamescom LATAM is a unique opportunity—let’s seize it,” said Marilia Marton, São Paulo's Secretary for Culture, Creative Economy, and Industries.

“Partnering with FGV Brazil marks a significant milestone in WinZO's journey to deepen its footprint in the Brazilian market. By hiring local talent and fostering research collaboration, we aim to not only enhance our operational capabilities but also integrate more seamlessly into the local culture,” said Paavan Nanda, Co-founder of WinZO. “The India Pavilion at Gamescom Latam showcases the rich talent of Indian game developers on a global stage, highlighting our tech prowess and facilitating strategic dialogues between India and Brazil, supporting the development of sunrise industries like gaming. By fostering these connections, we aim to bolster trade and contribute to the growth of both nations' digital economies. We are excited about the opportunities this collaboration will bring and look forward to a mutually prosperous relationship with the Brazilian gaming community,” Nanda added.

In India, WinZO partnered with Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi (IIT-D), Delhi Technological University (DTU), Netaji Subhash University of Technology (NSUT), and IIIT-D to develop open-source technology to protect the internet users against cyber actors. WinZO has collaborated with professors from Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) Delhi, IIT Kanpur, and IIT Madras, as well as Stanford University and California State University, among others, to establish a scientific methodology to accurately differentiate between gaming activities requiring the predominance of skill and those dependent on chance.

WinZO launched its app in Brazil in October 2023, enabling its 100+ partner game developers to export games and gain free access to Brazil, the fourth-largest mobile gaming market with over 90 million users. With the launch of the India Pavilion at Gamescom and collaboration with local institutes, the company plans to further expand its collaborations with game developers to export their games to the remotest corners of the world.

Jindal Stainless, Capital Goods & Strategic Skill Council Launch Participant Handbook-Press Note

Jindal Stainless, India’s largest stainless steel manufacturer, and skill development body Capital Goods & Strategic Skill Council (CGSSC) have joined forces to standardise one-of-its-kind skilling content for the stainless steel kitchenware industry that will benefit up to 20 lakh workers across India. The CEO, Capital Goods & Strategic Skill Council, Ms Shalini Singh; and Director, Corporate Affairs, Jindal Stainless, Mr Vijay Sharma jointly launched the Participant Handbook (PH) and the Qualification Pack (QP) titled ‘Operator-Stainless Steel Kitchenware Manufacturing’ at the 14th Indian Houseware Show here over the weekend. A Skill India initiative, the PH is designed to address the industry-academia skill gap by imparting essential skills and create a talent pool.

The newly launched Handbook will serve as the primary source of skilling content aimed at boosting productivity for both current and aspiring employees in the hollowware workforce. Additionally, the industry can utilise it for independent training sessions. By standardising training, the Handbook will help increase productivity by reducing errors and waste through well-defined guidelines and best practices. This will also ensure consistent product quality, meeting both domestic and international standards.

Commenting at the launch, CEO, CGSSC, Ms Shalini Singh, said, “We are happy to launch this one-of-a-kind Participant Handbook dedicated to the stainless steel kitchenware industry. We are hoping that as a first step, the regional kitchenware associations will circulate it in their regions or clusters. CGSSC takes pride in having developed structured training programmes focusing on stainless steel properties, manufacturing techniques, quality standards, and safety protocols specific to kitchenware utensils in association with downstream markets and players such as Jindal Stainless. In the next 3 years, we want to target around 5,000 fresh talent and upskill 30,000 operators annually in stainless steel kitchenware manufacturing, with support from the industry and various government schemes. Such initiatives should be explored to be implemented in the Karnataka state for the employment and entrepreneurial ventures under the flagship of Karnataka Skill Development Corporation.”

Adding to it, Director, Corporate Affairs, Mr Vijay Sharma, said, “As pioneers of stainless steel in India, we are pleased to introduce this Participant Handbook for the hollowware industry in collaboration with the CGSSC. Manufacturing stainless steel cookware demands precision, expertise, and meticulous attention to detail to produce high-quality products that meet consumer expectations for durability, performance, and safety. These initiatives are crucial for building a sustainable talent pipeline and ensuring the continued growth, competitiveness, and success of the stainless steel industry. Through this Handbook, we aim to emphasise on workforce skill training as part of our Stainless Academy. This initiative of Jindal Stainless serves as a hub for education, training, skilling and upskilling, research, and collaboration. It works on multiple fronts to ensure category recognition and awareness, thereby increasing the usage of stainless steel.”

These trainings will include basic sheet metal operations, polishing operation, material handling and machine maintenance, plate bending and forming operations, spinning and beading operations, joining operations etc. In the near future, these programmes will be introduced in Industrial Training Institutes (ITI) and CGSSC approved training centres as comprehensive training programs. On successful completion of the training course, candidates undergoing training (fresh skilling, upskilling and reskilling) will be awarded an industry- government recognized certificate. This is expected to have a cascading effect and increase the attractiveness of the stainless steel kitchenware industry and highlight its immense employment potential.

A Qualification pack is an essential document within India's National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF), designed to standardise the skill requirements for various job roles across different industries. Along with every QP, a Participant Handbook (PH) is designed, having detailed contents, to enable training. The development of QPs & PH is a dynamic and iterative process that involves extensive stakeholder engagement, research, and validation to ensure that the resulting standards are robust, relevant, and practical for implementation in the vocational training ecosystem.

Overall, the BMW brand grew by +2.3% compared to the previous year's period with 1,096,486 units sold in the first half of the year. The brand thereby outperformed its traditional competitors and managed to significantly gain market share in Europe. In total, the BMW Group delivered 1,213,359 vehicles of the BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brands in the first half of the year.

“In the first six months of the year, we saw double-digit growth of our fully-electric vehicles and models from the upper premium segment,” said Jochen Goller, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Customer, Brands, Sales. “Despite a challenging market environment, we increased sales for the BMW brand in the first half of the year, thanks to our attractive product portfolio. The strong commitment of our BMW Group employees and our robust global retail network have made a significant contribution in this regard,” said Jochen Goller.

With a total of 99,517 vehicles sold, BMW M recorded a sales growth of +5.1%. With the continuing model changeover of its complete product portfolio, the MINI brand delivered 114,054 vehicles in the first half-year.

The further ramp-up of the MINI Cooper and MINI Countryman*, as well as the market launch of the MINI Aceman*, will provide positive momentum in the second half of the year.

In the first half-year, the Rolls-Royce brand delivered a total of 2,819 motor cars to customers worldwide. BMW Motorrad handed over 113,072 motorcycles and scooters to customers worldwide during the same period.

By providing a variety of drive train technologies across the product portfolio of the BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brands, as well as a high level of flexibility, the BMW Group is well positioned to meet varying customer preferences worldwide.
