LinkedIn India Extends Partnership With Mentor Together Through INR 1.5 Crore Grant

* This is done to upskill 25000 students across Karnataka

* Programme will support students through mentorship-led employability initiatives focused on AI-readiness

As AI shifts traditional career paths and professionals increasingly look for guidance, mentoring is emerging as a critical lever of career growth. LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, has extended its partnership with Mentor Together, a non-profit organisation helping young people access career guidance. Backed by a INR ~1.5 crore ($160,000) grant from LinkedIn, the partnership will support 25,000 students across Karnataka, through structured mentoring programmes designed to enhance employability and AI-readiness.

The initiative extends the ongoing 7-year partnership between the two organisations, and their sustained collaboration with the Government of Karnataka's Department of Collegiate and Technical Education.

Over the past year, the programme reached over 23,000 students across nine districts, supported 573 students in one-on-one mentoring through the Mentor To Go app, and facilitated more than 8,000 hours of mentoring conversations. As a result, 86% of mentees completed the programme with greater confidence in their career direction.

The next phase of the partnership arrives at a pivotal moment for India's young workforce. As AI continues to reshape the nature of entry-level roles, the question at the heart of this programme is a practical one: what does preparing students for work actually mean today? The answer is a progressive, three-level journey, where AI is not a subject to master in isolation, but a tool to understand in the context of real career decision-making:

Level 1 - Career & AI Awareness: With 25,000 students across the districts of the state, normalising career conversations and introducing AI literacy through group mentoring sessions.

Level 2 - Foundational Career Mentoring: 8,000 students in short-cycle, time-bound mentoring conversations with professionals on the Mentor To Go app, covering career exploration and responsible AI use for learning and planning.

Level 3 - Placement-Focused Mentoring: 700 final-year students in high-touch mentoring combining mentor guidance, staff support, and AI-enabled job-search tools.

Together, the three levels are designed to meet students where they are, whether they are just beginning to think about careers or actively preparing to enter the workforce, and move them forward with the right combination of human guidance and AI-enabled support.

MYCPE ONE Announces Strategic Entry Into Mexico, Expands Global Accounting Services Platform Into Latin America

Gujarat-headquartered MYCPE ONE, a global accounting and professional services platform, has announced its strategic entry into Mexico. The expansion comes as part of its vision to strengthen presence across all major global accounting and finance markets. MYCPE ONE’s foray into Mexico in fact, marks the company’s first major expansion in Latin America.

A multi-crore investment towards market development, technology infrastructure development, talent acquisition and business development initiatives is on the cards.

Over the years, Mexico has seen a growing MSME ecosystem and in turn, an increasing demand for professional financial and accounting services. Given its economic growth in this direction and a strong alignment with North American business operations, Mexico has emerged as a key market for MYCPE ONE.

The expansion is also driven by the rising global demand for nearshore accounting and finance talent solutions.

“Mexico represents a strategically important market for us because it combines talent quality, geographic proximity to the US, and strong bilingual capabilities. For US-based accounting firms, the ability to work with teams operating in nearly identical time zones creates significant operational efficiency and collaboration advantages, our Mexico operations will help address a growing demand among US accounting firms seeking scalable, technology-enabled support teams that can operate with minimal time-zone gaps and seamless English and Spanish communication capabilities,” said Shalin Parikh, Co-founder, MYCPE ONE.

At the initial stage, the company will focus on Tax, Accounting, and Assurance services in the region. Over a period of time, it will gradually expand into additional service domains as operations scale.

"Across India and the Philippines, we currently deploy close to 3,000 professionals for our clients. Mexico adds a third geography to that network and our target is 200 professionals deployed within the first 12 months. The initial workforce will primarily support Tax and Accounting functions, with plans to expand based on client demand. Yes, Mexico comes at a higher cost compared to India and the Philippines, but for firms that need US time-zone coverage, Spanish-language capability, and proximity to Latin American clients, that trade-off makes sense. This completes a tri-geography model that allows firms to build global teams around their specific operational, language, and time-zone requirements. Argentina is next on our radar in Latin America" said Parikh.

Parallel to its global expansion, MYCPE ONE has 40+ offices in over 20 Indian cities and also plans to deepen its footprint across nation, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where it sees significant talent availability and long-term growth potential.

The company maintains SOC 2 Type II certification, ISO 27001 compliance, and GDPR readiness as part of its global service delivery framework.

MYCPE ONE is a full-stack accounting and business services platform headquartered in Ahmedabad, India, serving 3,000+ CPA and accounting firms, along with 300+ growing businesses across North America, the UK, and Europe.

Founded by Shalin Parikh and Valay Parikh, the company has evolved into an integrated platform offering offshore staffing, GCC development, compliance and learning solutions. With SOC 2 Type II certification, ISO 27001 compliance, GDPR readiness, and a proven track record of zero data breaches, MYCPE ONE delivers secure, scalable workforce, education, and business enablement solutions.

LG Electronics Demonstrates The Evolution Of The AI Home Ecosystem

* Driven by 'Affectionate Intelligence,' LG is Evolving Its AI Home ecosystem Designed to Simplify Everyday Life through Personalized and seamless Experiences

News Summary:

● LG Electronics outlined its vision for the AI Home experiences, built around AI-powered appliances, ThinQ AI™ Orchestration and autonomous home robots working together to simplify everyday life.

● Powered by LG’s Affectionate Intelligence, the evolving ThinQ ecosystem is

designed to understand household routines, anticipate user needs and deliver more personalized, seamless and proactive home experiences.

● LG Electronics also highlighted how innovations already available in India, including AI Wash™ 2.0 and ThinQ-enabled appliances, represent important building blocks toward its long-term vision of AI Home.

● As rising incomes, urbanization and home renovations continue to drive

premiumization across India’s appliance market, LG Electronics is well-positioned to meet growing demand for premium and intelligent home solutions. The company sees strong momentum in categories such as large-capacity and front-load washing machines, where consumers are increasingly prioritizing convenience, hygiene, energy efficiency and AI-powered features that enhance everyday living.

LG Electronics (LG) shared its vision for AI Home experiences, presenting a roadmap toward a “Zero Labor Home” where intelligent technologies proactively reduce daily household effort and enhance everyday living.

At the heart of this vision is LG’s belief that the future home should not simply connect devices, but understand people, anticipate their needs, and take action on their behalf. To realize this vision, LG Electronics is building an AI Home ecosystem powered by three core pillars: AI-powered appliances, ThinQ AI™ orchestration, and autonomous home robots.

Together, these technologies form the foundation of the ThinQ AI Universe — LG’s autonomous, hyper-connected, and deeply personalized spatial operating system. Built on decades of hardware innovation and powered by LG’s Affectionate Intelligence, the ecosystem is designed to learn household routines, coordinate devices seamlessly, and ultimately eliminate everyday friction throughout the home.

The Three-Pillar Paradigm Shift

LG’s AI Home vision is built upon three interconnected technological pillars that work together to create a smarter, more autonomous living environment:

● AI-powered Appliances: LG’s next-generation appliances leverage AI-enhanced hardware technologies by embedding AI into LG’s core components, enabling the appliances to understand usage patterns, optimize performance, and deliver personalized care. For example, refrigerators can learn household routines and proactively adjust cooling cycles to preserve freshness while reducing energy consumption.

● ThinQ AI Orchestration: Serving as the brain of the AI Home, ThinQ AI Orchestration coordinates devices, services, and spaces through a centralized generative AI platform. Moving beyond simple device connectivity, ThinQ enables homes to understand context, anticipate needs, and provide seamless, personalized experiences through natural interactions.

● Autonomous Home Robots: Extending intelligence into the physical world, autonomous home robots act as AI-powered agents capable of performing household tasks and interacting with customers. Solutions such as LG CLOiD™ represent LG’s vision of Physical AI in the home, helping transform the concept of a “Zero Labor Home” into reality.

The Evolutionary Roadmap of the ThinQ AI

To demonstrate how this technology departs from standard consumer tech to continuously elevate consumer experience, LG outlined a clear structural evolution of the ThinQ platform, detailing its transition into a highly sophisticated, futuristic living environment:

● Phase 1 - Reactive Automation: LG ThinQ functioned as a convenient, smartphone-based remote control, enabling localized Wi-Fi monitoring, basic on/off operations, and remote troubleshooting through Smart Diagnosis™.

● Phase 2 – Continuous Adaptability: With ThinQ UP, over-the-air software updates, appliances continue to evolve after purchase, adapting to user habits over time to deliver increasingly personalized performance. ThinQ Care further enhances reliability by analyzing usage patterns and providing proactive guidance before potential issues arise, offering greater peace of mind.

● Phase 3 – The Orchestrated Universe: Powered by the generative AI-enabled ThinQ ON hub and integrated with Athom’s open ecosystem, Homey, LG supports more than 50,000 devices across hundreds of brands. The platform interprets natural conversational context to coordinate unified home actions, creating a seamless and highly personalized living environment with minimal manual intervention.

“India is entering a transformative phase of home appliance premiumization, catalyzed by rising household incomes, rapid urbanization, and a clear consumer desire to modernize living spaces. Today’s Indian consumer is moving well beyond basic functionality; they are actively seeking intelligent, connected solutions that bring us closer to the ultimate vision of a 'Zero Labor Home' ecosystem. We see momentum in this space, across all product categories. Our premium products are experiencing rapid adoption, as families prioritize advanced, hyper-connected features that embrace AI,” said, Young Min Hwang,-Vice President, Home Appliance Solution, LG Electronics India Limited.

Expanding Horizons: The Rise of LG CLOiD

The architectural peak of this ecosystem is realized through LG CLOiD, LG's home-specialized autonomous AI agent unveiled at CES 2026. Powered by an advanced spatial vision engine, CLOiD navigates homes autonomously to execute physical chores.

Through a deep integration with the ThinQ ON hub, CLOiD acts as a physical extension of the digital environment—coordinating with localized appliances to maximize consumer convenience, such as automatically starting the washer and dryer or preparing workout clothes and towels in advance of the homeowner’s arrival. CLOiD’s fluid movement is driven by the LG Actuator AXIUM™, a highly efficient, modular actuator platform that serves as the “joints and muscles” of the robot. Integrating the motor, reducer, and drive into a single, compact all-in-one unit, LG Actuator AXIUM™ delivers precise control, space efficiency, and optimized performance.

Baek Seung-Tae, President of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company said, "By combining decades of hardware expertise with Affectionate Intelligence, we are moving beyond basic appliances to deliver holistic, user-centric life solutions focused entirely on ultimate everyday convenience, solving real-life problems, and providing an elevated experience that lets premium urban living flow effortlessly."

Strategic Localization and Indian Manufacturing Blueprint

Recognizing the unique demands of the Indian market, where premium appliance adoption is surging across metro hubs, LG India is backing its software evolution with robust infrastructure. The company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing plants in India are integrated into the global AI roadmap. This ensures that next-generation components are localized and scaled efficiently, supporting a broader rollout of AI-centric washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, and cooking systems to bring personalized and convenient AI Home experiences to Indian families.
