BENGALURU, India, Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Miles Education, the flagbearer of accountants, made history by hosting M-PACT: India’s First Public Accounting GCC (Global Capability Center) Conclave, on Dec 7, 2024. Bringing together over 500 participants from the Big 4, public accounting firms and academia, the event marked a pivotal moment in cementing India’s position as the driving force for public accounting across the globe.

M-PACT set the stage for bold, future-focused dialogues on the transformative forces reshaping the accounting profession: Talent, Technology, and Transformation. The event spotlighted India’s unmatched talent and groundbreaking innovations, paving the way for a new era of global accounting excellence.

Key Highlights

Scaling India’s Talent Pipeline

The conclave highlighted India’s critical role in building a future-ready workforce to lead the global accounting landscape. Working backwards from the huge shortage of accountants in the US, Miles has been instrumental in creating the CPA talent pipeline for public accounting GCCs in India, contributing billions of dollars in exports. To further enhance the global perception of India’s talent, Miles has integrated STEM into accounting education in the US and created a unique pathway for Indian accountants to work in the US.

The discussions underscored how Indian professionals are setting new benchmarks locally and globally. During the panel on Scaling Public Accounting GCCs in India, moderated by Varun Jain, CEO of Miles Education, industry leaders such as Chung Tham (EY GDS), Vishnu Patwari (BDO RISE), Karthick Venkatakrishnan (Eisner Amper), and Murali Balasubramanian (Sthirah) illuminated India’s transformative journey. Vishnu Patwari summed it up by saying, “India’s unique position allows us to integrate the best global practices and create capabilities the world has never seen.”

Technological Disruption in Accounting

The conclave showcased how cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, and dynamic business models are revolutionising accounting practices.

In the panel on AI, Analytics, and Technology in Accounting, Balaji Iyer, Managing Partner at Moss Adams, drove home the future vision: ‘Who wants to slog 60 hours during busy seasons when AI can redefine efficiency? The future is here, and technology is rewriting the rules.’ Moderated by Giridhar Rajgopa (Sentient Soutions), the panel included other luminaries, including Manish Bathija (BDO India), Prasad GVR (Sikich India), Shrenik Shah (Armanino), and Vijay Narayandas (BDO RISE), who shared actionable insights on embracing innovation to stay ahead globally.

Shaping a Future-Ready Workforce

A central theme was workforce transformation — bridging skill gaps and creating industry-ready professionals. The panel, moderated by Bhaskar Ranjan Das (Ex-Director at AICPA), discussed strategies for building talent pipelines that address skill shortages while preparing professionals to navigate a rapidly evolving global landscape.

Vikram P. Rao, Head of HR at Withum, emphasized the impact of Miles Education: “Miles Education is leading the way, ensuring students are guided with precision and armed with skills to dominate the future.” Panelists like Ashish Jalan (CohnReznick), Subramanian Ananthakrishnan (EY GDS), Vishal Agarwal (Citrin Cooperman), and Vikash Pipara (BDO RISE) further explored innovative strategies to nurture tomorrow’s leaders.

Bridging the gap between academia and industry

The conclave sought to address the critical need for stronger collaboration between academia and industry, aiming to create clear pathways for students to transition seamlessly into the workforce. By integrating global qualifications like CPA and CMA into university programs — an approach already championed by Miles Education — discussions explored how academic curricula can evolve to meet the ever-changing demands of the professional world.

Leaders from top universities participated in the discussions, emphasizing the need for innovative pedagogies to align academic training with the evolving demands of the accounting profession. Miles Education’s efforts in bridging this gap were widely acknowledged. Dr. Biju Toms (Christ University) remarked, “Thanks to Miles Education, we are integrating innovative pedagogies to meet industry demands.” Dr. Easwaran Iyer (Jain University) also commended their impact, noting, “Miles Education has been pivotal in bridging the gap between academia, industry, and professional bodies to enhance skilling opportunities.”

A Game-Changing Initiative: The PAGE Council

In a groundbreaking announcement, Miles Education unveiled the Public Accounting GCC Excellence (PAGE) Council. This leadership forum will unite GCCs, public accounting firms, and academic institutions to propel strategic initiatives, foster collaboration, and redefine public accounting for the 21st century.

A Vision for Global Excellence

M-PACT wasn’t just a milestone; it was a bold declaration of India’s intent to dominate global accounting. Delivering a keynote address, Badri Rao, Partner at KPMG GDC, set the tone for future success: “The mantra is simple: Learn. Innovate. Unlearn. Learn again. Innovate again. The cycle never stops.”

Varun Jain, CEO of Miles Education, made a powerful statement: “India is at the cusp of revolutionizing the global accounting profession. With our unmatched talent pool, technological expertise, and unparalleled work ethic, we are uniquely positioned to lead the transformation of public accounting. This is not just about addressing the global shortage of accountants — it’s about redefining the profession, setting new standards, and ensuring that accounting continues to power economies across the world. India’s time to lead is now.”

The Message is Clear: India’s Moment is Now

M-PACT reinforced India’s unstoppable rise as the global epicentre of accounting. As the event concluded, the energy was palpable — a shared determination to shape the future of public accounting, with innovation, talent, and technology leading the charge.

With M-PACT as the catalyst, Miles Education stands at the forefront of this revolution, committed to redefining what’s possible in global accounting.

ATTACK SHARK Unveils RS6 ULTRA, a Flagship Esports Mouse Featuring Its Proprietary Magnetic Hot-Swappable Battery Technology

Published

on

By

NEW YORK , July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gaming peripheral brand ATTACK SHARK has announced the upcoming launch of the RS6 ULTRA, its most advanced wireless gaming mouse to date. Designed for competitive FPS players and the premium esports peripheral market, the new model combines a lightweight carbon fiber structure, flagship sensing technology, low-latency wireless performance, and a magnetic hot-swappable battery system.

The RS6 ULTRA’s magnetic hot-swappable battery system is designed to eliminate the compromises associated with conventional wireless gaming mice. Unlike integrated lithium battery designs that require wired charging and eventually suffer from battery aging, or conventional removable battery systems that depend on battery doors and latch mechanisms, the RS6 ULTRA features a proprietary magnetic alignment design with gold-plated contacts, enabling fast, tool-free battery replacement without disrupting wireless operation. Its dual-battery system further ensures uninterrupted gameplay by allowing one battery to power the mouse while the included 8K receiver simultaneously charges the spare, providing continuous wireless performance and a longer product lifecycle through easily replaceable batteries.

Another key feature is ATTACK SHARK’s patented adjustable sensor positioning system. Five mechanical adjustment positions allow players to customize sensor placement to suit hand size, grip style, and aiming preference. This personalized alignment is designed to support more consistent aiming and reduce tracking deviation during rapid movements.

The RS6 ULTRA is powered by a customized PixArt PAW3955MAX sensor and the latest Nordic nRF54L15 wireless MCU, delivering the performance demanded by today’s competitive FPS players. The sensor natively supports polling rates of up to 8,000Hz (8K), as well as 1-DPI incremental adjustment for precise sensitivity control. With up to 52,000 DPI, 850 IPS tracking speed, 75G acceleration, and five adjustable lift-off distance settings, it ensures exceptional tracking accuracy and responsiveness during rapid flick shots, precise target acquisition, and high-speed movement in fast-paced titles such as VALORANT, Counter-Strike 2, and Apex Legends.

Built on the Nordic nRF54L15 platform, the RS6 ULTRA delivers enhanced scanning performance, wireless stability, and power efficiency. At a 1,000Hz polling rate, it provides up to 800 hours of battery life, reducing charging interruptions during extended training and competition. The combination of stable wireless connectivity and long endurance allows players to stay focused on performance rather than power management.

Complementing the hardware, ATTACK SHARK’s proprietary wireless transmission technology delivers button latency of less than 0.168 milliseconds in 8K mode, helping ensure that every click is transmitted with exceptional speed and consistency. The shark fin-inspired 8K receiver features an extended antenna for improved signal strength, along with LED indicators for connection status, polling rate, and battery level. Together, these technologies make the RS6 ULTRA a wireless flagship solution for fast-paced competitive shooters, providing the responsiveness and reliability demanded by players of VALORANT, Counter-Strike 2, and Apex Legends.

The RS6 ULTRA features a carbon fiber hybrid injection-molded chassis with a ventilated hollow-shell design that balances low weight, structural strength, comfort, and heat dissipation during extended gaming sessions. A glass-like cooling surface treatment helps reduce discomfort caused by perspiration, while a CNC-machined metal scroll wheel and anodized components improve durability and wear resistance.

Built for serious FPS competitors and enthusiasts, the RS6 ULTRA delivers precision, responsiveness, customization, and endurance expected from a flagship esports mouse.

EnKash Introduces India’s First Meal Card with UPI Payments

Published

By

EnKash extends its UPI capabilities to meal card allowances, combining the convenience of UPI, the reach of RuPay, and tax-efficient employee benefits.

MUMBAI, India, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EnKash, India’s leading business payments and spend management platform, today announced the launch of UPI-based payments on its Meal Card. With this addition, employees can make payments directly from their meal card balance by scanning eligible UPI QR codes at food and grocery merchants.

This makes EnKash the first provider in India to enable UPI payments directly from a meal benefit balance.

The new capability extends the UPI infrastructure that EnKash already offers across its Prepaid Payment Instrument portfolio. It brings the familiarity and convenience of UPI to structured meal benefits, allowing employees to use their meal allowance through a payment method that has become a part of everyday life in India.

The timing is also significant. Under the revised Income-tax reforms, eligible meal benefits of up to ₹200 per meal are available under both the old and new tax regimes, subject to prescribed conditions. Employees can receive up to ₹1,05,600 annually as a tax-free meal benefit. For HR teams, this makes meal benefits more inclusive, valuable and easier to offer across the workforce.

The solution combines:

UPI-based scan-and-pay convenienceLargest acceptance infrastructure of RuPayMerchant category-based spending controlsPhysical and virtual meal cardsReal-time transaction visibilityCentralised card issuance, loading and management for employers

Employers can issue cards, load meal balances, set spending controls and track transactions through a centralised platform. Merchant category controls help ensure that the meal balance is used only for eligible expenses.

“Employee benefits should be as seamless as everyday payments. By bringing UPI to meal benefits, we’re enabling employees to pay the way they already do while helping employers deliver a simpler and more digital-first experience,” said Priya Sharma, Head of Product at EnKash.

“This launch brings together the power of RuPay, the familiarity of UPI and the tax efficiency of meal benefits. It also reflects the strength of the payments stack EnKash has already built across its PPI products.”

The UPI-enabled Meal Card is supported by EnKash’s existing payments and prepaid infrastructure. The company already provides UPI-based payment capabilities across its prepaid products and also offers businesses a wider payments suite covering prepaid cards, employee benefits, expense management, petty cash, corporate payments, payment gateway, and rewards.

About EnKash

EnKash is India’s first full-stack payments and spend management platform, empowering 5,000+ businesses to automate payments, expenses, and employee benefits. Holding PA, PPI, and Bharat Connect (BBPOU) licenses, EnKash offers a unified financial orchestration suite backed by $23M in funding. By partnering with leading banks and networks like NPCI and Visa, EnKash delivers secure, scalable solutions that make enterprise financial operations faster, smarter, and fully compliant.
