The Indian furniture market is expected to grow from to USD 45.52 billion by 2031.[1] Modern Indian homes today are becoming more adaptive, multifunctional and expressive of personal lifestyles. This is influencing how consumers evaluate furniture across aesthetics, usability, durability and convenience.”

He further added, “The sector is witnessing increasing formalisation through evolving quality and compliance standards, which is strengthening consumer trust and creating long-term opportunities for organised brands. We believe the next phase of growth in the industry will be driven by brands that can combine scale, design, manufacturing strength, technology integration and strong physical retail experiences.

Veeam Warns Indian Enterprises Face AI Accountability Gap Ahead Of Data Law Deadline

VeeamON Tour India 2026 continues in Bengaluru as enterprises face converging pressure: a fast-scaling digital economy, tightening data protection regulation, and a measurable gap between AI confidence and AI accountability.

Veeam® Software, the Data and AI Trust Company, brought VeeamON Tour India 2026 to Bengaluru, convening enterprise technology leaders, government and Public Sector Undertaking stakeholders, partners and customers to address one of the most pressing challenges facing Indian organizations: how to govern, protect and trust data as AI adoption accelerates and regulatory obligations tighten.

India's digital economy accounts for approximately 13% of GDP and is growing at roughly twice the pace of overall economic growth, according to MeitY. At the same time, the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act moves toward full enforcement in May 2027, with penalties for non-compliance reaching up to INR 250 crore per breach. For enterprises scaling AI against this backdrop, the question is no longer whether to act — it is whether they can demonstrate readiness when required.

In tandem, a recent Veeam research points to the scale of the challenge: while 80% of senior leaders are confident, they can scale AI safely, fewer than one in three can produce comprehensive audit evidence on demand. Nearly half acknowledge that confidence is based more on intuition than proof — a gap that DPDP's accountability requirements will directly expose.

"As organizations move from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment, the conversation is no longer just about data protection, it is about establishing trust across data, identity and AI systems," said Sandeep Bhambure, Vice President and Managing Director, India & SAARC, Veeam Software. "The rise of agentic AI is reshaping how enterprises operate, but it also raises new questions around accountability, governance, access control and resilience. Organizations need the ability to prove trust, recover confidently and govern AI-driven environments with the same rigor they apply to their critical data assets."

Sessions at the Bengaluru event covered DPDP compliance readiness, data localization, ransomware preparedness, sovereign-ready infrastructure and AI governance. Veeam showcased the DataAI Command Platform, Veeam Data Platform v13.1 preview, the Data and AI Trust Maturity Model, and Veeam Intelligence ResOps for Microsoft 365 — innovations first announced at VeeamON 2026 in New York and now being introduced to Indian enterprise audiences.

At the Bengaluru stop of VeeamON Tour India 2026, discussions focused on securing the intersection of data, identity and agentic AI, AI governance, DPDP compliance readiness, cyber resilience, ransomware preparedness and data access security. In his keynote, Sandeep Bhambure highlighted the emergence of a new "center of gravity" for enterprises, where trusted data, secure identities and AI systems must work together to enable responsible innovation at scale. Veeam also showcased the DataAI Command Platform, Veeam Data Platform v13.1 preview, the Data and AI Trust Maturity Model, and Veeam Intelligence ResOps for Microsoft 365, innovations first unveiled at VeeamON 2026 in New York and now being introduced to Indian enterprise audiences.

The event also highlighted Bharat CyberSuraksha, Veeam's initiative to strengthen India's cybersecurity talent pipeline, with plans for 100 Centres of Excellence across universities and colleges, 100,000 certifications, and industry partnerships supporting 25,000 job pathways into enterprise security and resilience roles.

Two-thirds Of Indians (66%) Have Encountered A Health Or Wellness Scam: McAfee Health & Wellness Research*

* From fake pharmacies to fraudulent wellness offers, online health scams are becoming harder to spot. McAfee helps people stay safer from suspicious links, messages, and websites.

As health and wellness content continues to dominate online conversations, new research from McAfee reveals a growing wave of scams, misinformation, and AI-generated deception targeting Indian consumers. The findings highlight how scammers are increasingly exploiting trust in influencers, wellness trends, and emerging AI technologies to spread misleading health advice and fraudulent schemes.

McAfee research* reveals that 71% of India especially young adults are being targeted by health scams which are increasingly engineered to exploit urgency, trust, and everyday online behavior. Nearly one-third of Indians surveyed reported being pushed to take immediate action through tactics such as visiting a website promoted in an ad (31%), clicking links shared via social media or messaging apps (31%), downloading an app or file (26%), or scanning a QR code (23%).

The scams themselves are becoming increasingly sophisticated and wide-ranging — from fake weight-loss or fitness products (23%) and misleading information about diseases or medical products (20%), to fake supplements or vitamins (18%) and fraudulent medical treatments or “cures” (18%). Consumers are also encountering impersonation scams involving healthcare providers or pharmacies (13%) and even government health agencies (10%), underscoring how cybercriminals are blending health misinformation with social engineering tactics to make scams appear more credible, urgent, and difficult to detect.

“Health and wellness have become a bigger part of people’s daily lives online, but so have the risks,” said Pratim Mukherjee, Senior Director of Engineering, McAfee India. “Scammers are getting better at making fake health advice, products, and offers look credible, especially as AI makes these scams easier to create and harder to spot. That’s why it’s so important for Consumers to pause, verify information through trusted sources, and think twice before clicking suspicious links or offers.”

Social Media Remains the Epicenter of Health Advice and Health Scams

Health scams are no longer confined to suspicious websites or spam emails. They are increasingly appearing across social media feeds, messaging apps, online advertisements, and influencer-led content.

64% of Indians surveyed encounter health or wellness advice on social media at least weekly

More than one-third (34%) of people surveyed encounter health advice daily or multiple times per day on social media

Social media is also the #1 place people surveyed encounter health scams (53%), followed by messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram (37%), phone calls (33%), websites or online ads (30%), email (26%), online marketplaces (24%), text messages (23%), and in-person interactions (19%)

Influencers Continue to Shape Health Decisions

Misinformation is increasingly exploiting the trust consumers place in celebrities and influencers, making manipulated health content appear more credible and authentic. In fact, 55% of Indians say celebrity or influencer endorsements impact their likelihood to trust health advice, highlighting how scammers are leveraging emotional trust, credibility, and social influence to make misleading wellness claims appear authentic and believable.

More than half of Indians surveyed (54%) say they have seen health or wellness content that appeared to be endorsed by a celebrity or public figure and was later revealed or suspected to be fake, misleading, or AI-generated

Among those who have encountered celebrity or influencer-endorsed health content, the leading platforms are YouTube (68%), Instagram (67%), Facebook (43%), social media advertisements (42%), online ads or sponsored posts (30%), X/Twitter (25%), messaging apps (22%), websites or blogs (19%), Snapchat (18%), traditional media (16%), email (15%), and text messages (13%)

66% of 25–34-year-olds have seen fake or suspicious celebrity-linked health content

How to Protect Yourself from Health & Wellness Scams

McAfee helps consumers fight back by combining digital education with proactive AI protection. Its technology scans text, QR codes, and websites to flag phishing and scams before they cause harm-helping consumers verify what's real before they click, share, or buy.
