HYDERABAD, India, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich) today announced the launch of a new Global Capability Center in Hyderabad, reinforcing its focus on advancing technology and AI capabilities to transform insurance.

Zurich has appointed Amit Kalra as Head of Zurich Capability Centers, effective 1 July 2026. Based in India, he will shape the Group’s Capability Center strategy and oversee all locations globally. He will also lead the establishment and expansion of the Hyderabad center, supporting Zurich’s broader technology and AI ambitions. Mr. Kalra brings extensive experience in building and leading global capability centers as strategic enablers for complex, international organizations.

Parksy.com Free Driver Tools In One App: Fine Appeals, Sign Scanning, Car Finding and Crash Reports

Published

on

By

A fine under the wiper, a sign you cannot decode, a car you cannot find, a crash to document — Parksy built a free tool for each and skipped the invoice.

SYDNEY, Aug. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Parksy (parksy.com) has gathered its free driver tools into a single hub, and the collection reads like a list of the four worst moments of car ownership. A fine under the wiper. A sign you cannot decode. A car you cannot find. A crunch in a car park. The parking marketplace now offers a free tool for each, most of them usable without so much as an email address.

The AI-powered appeal calculator handles the fine. A driver describes what happened, and the tool identifies which grounds of appeal are worth arguing and helps draft the letter — while being candid when a ticket was fairly issued and not worth fighting. The sign scanner handles the pole of stacked restrictions: photograph it, and the tool answers whether you can park there and until when. The find-my-parked-car tool remembers what the multi-storey made you forget. And the car accident report walks a shaken driver through documenting a collision at the scene — photos, details, witnesses, a GPS-stamped location — then produces a PDF an insurer can use, working even without phone signal.

Founder Daniel Battaglia says the bundle is the strategy, not a loss leader that wandered off. “Every one of these tools exists because drivers kept hitting the same four walls. Other companies looked at those walls and saw four subscription products. We think the fastest way to be the platform drivers trust with parking is to be useful on the worst day they have with a car, and to not send an invoice afterwards.”

The tools sit alongside Parksy’s marketplace, where finding parking and listing a space are also free, with no commission taken from anyone. The company’s position is consistent to the point of stubbornness: across 57 countries, the platform does not charge for introductions, information or emergencies.

All four tools are available now at https://www.parksy.com/blog/free-driver-tools, with the wider platform website and apps (both IOS and Android).

“People assume there is a catch, and the catch is that there is no catch,” Battaglia said. “The tools are free because they should not cost anything. It is parking, not wizardry.”

Jukebox Expands Free Background Remover With 25MB Uploads, Free Image Upscaling and New Creative Effects

Latest update adds larger uploads, built-in image upscaling, new filters, layered outlines and paper cutout effects.

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 29, 2026 /CNW/ — Jukebox Print has released a major update to its free online remove background tool, increasing the maximum upload size from 20MB to 25MB per image and adding built-in image upscaling along with a new collection of creative effects. The tool supports JPG, PNG and WebP files, allows up to 50 images to be uploaded at once, and remains free to use with no registration required.

The biggest addition is image upscaling directly inside the download workflow. Once a background has been removed and the image is finished, users can upscale the final image before downloading it, without moving the file into another application. Jukebox has also expanded its creative tools with new filters, layered outlines, custom strokes, gradient outlines, wavy and jagged edges, fades and paper cutout effects. Multiple outline layers can be stacked, reordered and adjusted individually for colour, thickness and style, giving users much more control over the finished cutout.

The update continues Jukebox’s move beyond basic background removal into a more complete creative image tool. Users can add text, mask images into shapes, apply shadows, use stock photography, upload their own backgrounds or create new backgrounds with AI. Finished cutouts can also be sent directly into the Jukebox Sticker Maker to continue designing and prepare artwork for custom sticker printing. With larger 25MB uploads, image upscaling and the expanded Effects 3.0 controls, this is the most powerful version of Jukebox’s background remover released to date.
