on

CVI Ranks 700+ cities across India by leveraging Earth Observation (EO) data.

MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dun & Bradstreet, a leading global provider of business decisioning data and analytics, released its report, City Vitality Index – Q1 2025, a comprehensive analysis that identifies and ranks India’s most economically dynamic cities. This innovative report leverages cutting-edge satellite imagery to identify and rank India’s most economically vibrant cities. Using NASA’s Black Marble, a daily calibrated and validated product suite of night-time light data, the index offers an unparalleled look at economic activity, city vibrancy, and business potential across over 700 cities in India. By analyzing artificial lighting at night, a uniquely human signal captured by satellites, the City Vitality Index provides a new lens for understanding the interactions between human systems and the environment, making it an invaluable tool for evaluating economic dynamics.

“The City Vitality Index offers near real-time insight into economic momentum across Indian cities,” said Dr. Arun Singh, Global Chief Economist, Dun and Bradstreet. “By integrating diverse data, we capture the pulse of India’s microeconomies, providing actionable intelligence. The index reflects traditional metrics and emerging growth drivers, with an 80% correlation to nominal GDP, which will serve as a cornerstone of monitoring economic expansion. Across highly urbanized cities, this correlation rises to ~99%.”

“This quarter’s findings emphasize the evolution of India’s regional economies,” Dr. Singh continued. “The CVI uncovers new growth centers, with tier-2 and tier-3 cities such as Warangal and Varanasi now ranking in the top 100 emerging cities, highlighting the decentralization of India’s growth narrative.”

Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity transforms hot water management from a reactive task into a proactive strategy. Through a centralized digital dashboard, property owners and facility managers gain a comprehensive view of system performance across one or multiple units.

Proactive System Health – Predictive diagnostics help identify potential issues before they lead to downtime.Preventative Oversight – Real-time status updates and maintenance reminders help ensure systems operate at peak reliability.Comprehensive Dashboard – Monitor performance metrics, track energy usage, and manage multiple units from a single interface.Smart Alerts – Instant notifications enable faster troubleshooting and help minimize service interruptions.

 

Space-Saving Installation

Energy-Efficient Operation
By eliminating standby heat loss, the GEN3 unit helps reduce overall energy consumption, lowering utility costs while also supporting a smaller environmental footprint.

LITO Announces New Collaboration Bringing Exclusive Contemporary Artist Editions to Sotheby’s Online Marketplace

Published

By

The initiative sees artists create new works designed from the outset for high-quality, limited editions.

NEW YORK, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LITO, a pioneering printmaking company redefining how art is created and collected, is pleased to announce a new collaboration that brings exclusive, museum-quality contemporary art editions to Sotheby’s online marketplace. The collaboration introduces a curated program of LITO Editions by leading international artists, offering collectors a new way to acquire highly refined, limited-edition works conceived in direct collaboration with the artists themselves.

LITO Editions are authentic works of art conceived in direct collaboration with artists, who imagine original work specifically for the format. The pieces are then developed into limited editions at LITO’s Technology Lab, an in-house research and production facility where engineers, technicians, and print specialists have developed the company’s patented Hi-Rnd© process. The lab brings together precision engineering and artistic collaboration to produce works that capture texture, color, relief, and brushstroke detail at multiple scales. Produced in limited runs, the editions are each hand-signed and numbered by the artist.

The initiative begins with an exclusive series of LITO Editions by acclaimed American portrait artist Kehinde Wiley. The series is based on his 2008 painting Triple Portrait of Charles II. Drawing on the historical tradition of multi-view portraiture, these works explore identity as layered and constructed rather than singular. Each piece is produced as a high-resolution print on Aludibond, set within an aluminum frame. The compositions feature engraved floral elements against mirrored backgrounds, available in Gold, Dark Mirror, and Mirror finishes, with select works also offered in a blue variant. Available for immediate purchase on Sotheby’s online marketplace, the editions are priced between $8,000 and $15,000, expanding access to Wiley’s work while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.

Wiley’s editions are currently on view at Sotheby’s galleries in the Breuer Building in New York through April 24, offering collectors and the public an opportunity to experience the artist’s work and LITO’s high-resolution editions firsthand. The presentation highlights the depth, texture, and dimensionality that define LITO’s approach and underscores the collaboration’s emphasis on in-person engagement.

“The marriage of art and science is one that’s been known and storied. There was, prior to the camera, an assumption that art was the ultimate authority of truth in history. Now with new technology, art is freed to take on new responsibilities, and to be able to tell other types of stories,” said Wiley. “Working with Sotheby’s, LITO, and LITO’s technology has also allowed me to go back into my archive and rethink paintings that had been done years ago and these editions are part of a grand tradition of artists playing with the leading edge of technology.”

“As the art market continues to evolve, the collaboration signals a broader shift toward new formats and technologies that expand how art is created, distributed, and collected, without compromising on artistic intent or quality,” said John Dodelande, CEO of LITO. “By creating a new asset class within the art market, our technology will allow a new generation of collectors to experience and immerse themselves in the art world in a way that limited supply may have otherwise precluded them from.”

“Beginning a collection with editions offers an exciting and accessible entry point into contemporary art,” said Cynthia Houlton, Sotheby’s Senior Vice President and Global Head of Demand Generation & Marketplace. “Through our collaboration with LITO, collectors can acquire high‑quality works directly from the artist, reinforcing both authenticity and a meaningful connection to the creative process. Exclusive to Sotheby’s, these editions carry a compelling sense of rarity while remaining approachable. By presenting them on our Marketplace, we aim to welcome new audiences and invite discovery of exceptional art in a way that feels both inspiring and inclusive.”

New releases and exhibitions will follow throughout 2026, with monthly drops planned alongside presentations in New York, Los Angeles and London, including a Sotheby’s showcase in London from April 29 to May 17 and in Beverly Hills from May 18 to May 31.

Founded in 2022 and based in Bregenz, Austria, LITO already operates showrooms in Paris, London, and Bregenz, reflecting its growing international footprint. The company has collaborated with a wide range of internationally recognized contemporary artists, including Amoako BoafoDaniel ArshamCamille Henrot, Jia Aili, and Peter Halley, among others, advancing a model that creates new pathways for artists while extending the reach and accessibility of their work.

Founded in 2022, LITO is a forward-thinking printmaking company based in Bregenz, Austria. Through its patented Hi-Rnd© technology, LITO produces high-rendered limited editions that capture the texture, color, and dimensionality of original artworks with exceptional precision. Working in close collaboration with leading contemporary artists, LITO creates editions that are hand-signed, numbered, and conceived specifically for this innovative format.
