New center brings together top AI talent to advance the science of Physical AI and build the future of autonomous operations

PLEASANTON, Calif., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Avathon, a leader in Autonomy for Operations, today announced the establishment of its AI Center of Excellence (CoE) in Bangalore, reinforcing India’s role at the center of Avathon’s global AI innovation.

The Bangalore CoE will bring together AI scientists, engineers, and technical leaders to advance the science and application of Physical AI, from how knowledge is captured to the development of frontier models for autonomous industrial systems across core markets such as energy, mining and aerospace.

Avathon is building the CoE as a destination for people who want to work at the cutting edge of AI, advancing the science and development across multiple domains and tackling problems that match the complexity of industrial operations—such as supply chains, maintenance, robotics and manufacturing. The center will connect research, engineering, and deployment, with work originating in Bangalore contributing to Avathon’s global platform and customer deployments.

“AI is entering a new era. The question is no longer whether machines can generate information, but whether they can understand the world and turn data into knowledge, reason through its complexity, and take action within it,” said Pervinder Johar, Chief Executive Officer of Avathon. “That is the frontier Avathon is pursuing. We are building the intelligence layer for the physical economy, where AI has to make sense of enormous amounts of data, navigate uncertainty and competing constraints, and continuously learn as the world changes. Bangalore will be central to that mission. We want the best AI researchers and engineers in India working on problems that matter at global scale, turning advances in AI into systems that can reason and operate in the real world. This is not simply an investment in a new center. It is an investment in India’s ability to help shape the future of AI.”

The CoE will set a high bar for technical excellence and bring together Avathon’s leading AI talent. Avathon will continue to invest in Bangalore and attract AI talent from across India as the center expands.

Avathon will also deepen its connections with universities, researchers, and technology organizations in India and around the world, creating an ecosystem that advances AI science and connects new research with real-world deployment.

“India has everything required to become a global center for AI innovation. It has deep technical talent, a world-class research community, and a culture of engineering excellence,” said Dinesh Fathpuria, Managing Director of Avathon, India. “The opportunity is to bring those strengths together around some of the most important problems in AI. That is what we are building in Bangalore.”

The AI Center of Excellence will make India a global hub for Avathon’s AI innovation, advancing the science and building the intelligence that powers autonomous operations across the industrial economy.

Klook and Mastercard collaborate to enhance travelers’ experiences across Asia Pacific

Published

By

SINGAPORE, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —  Klook, a leading pan-regional experiences platform in Asia Pacific, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mastercard, a global technology company in the payments industry, to create more rewarding and seamless travel experiences for consumers.

The collaboration is built on three strategic pillars: enhancing cardholder value, unlocking new travel and lifestyle opportunities, and advancing innovative payment experiences. Together, these initiatives are designed to address the evolving expectations of travelers across Asia Pacific, as identified in Klook’s Travel Pulse 2026.

The Klook Travel Pulse research underscores a growing trend among travelers who are seeking meaningful experiences with experience-led journeys in addition with the best value. While 47% of APAC consumers actively seek deals, discounts and bundled offers, and 42% book earlier to secure better prices, travel decisions are increasingly being driven by experiences. More than half of travelers no longer begin with a destination in mind, with 23% choosing their destination based on a specific activity and 73% willing to visit a lesser-known city for a unique event.

Against this backdrop, the Klook–Mastercard collaboration will introduce a range of propositions designed to bring more value to travelers with exclusive discounts and privileges for Mastercard cardholders in time for the year-end travel period. This collaboration lays the groundwork for a growing pipeline of entertainment benefits, with more exciting opportunities to be announced as the collaboration deepens.

“Experiences give travel meaning, creating moments that become lasting memories,” said Eric Gnock Fah, Co-Founder and President at Klook. “By combining Klook’s experiences platform with Mastercard’s global network and trusted payments infrastructure, we can help travelers discover more, unlock greater value, and spend less time planning and more time experiencing the world.”

“The future of travel will be shaped by ecosystems that bring together the best of technology, payments and experiences. Through collaborations with industry leaders like Klook, with their deep insights on travelers, Mastercard is helping create more personalized, rewarding and seamless journeys across the region. Together, we’re unlocking new ways for consumers to discover, access and enjoy the experiences that matter most to them,” said Peter Robejsek, Executive Vice President, Market Development, Asia Pacific, Mastercard.

Looking ahead, Klook and Mastercard will explore opportunities to further strengthen their collaboration across a range of strategic growth areas, from deepening data collaboration to evaluating next-generation payment innovations. Together, the companies aim to unlock new value for travelers and help shape the future of connected travel experiences.

REJIMUS Expands In 21 CFR Part 11 Software Validation Services for CPG Supply Chains

Published

on

By

REJIMUS empowers FDA-regulated businesses throughout the GPG supply-chain to more quickly audit, validate, document and maintain electronic systems – including AI-enabled workflows – within their existing quality and compliance programs subject to regulations under 21 CFR Part 11.

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — REJIMUS, Inc., a preeminent regulatory management consultancy and SaaS provider serving FDA-regulated consumer-product industries in the US, today announced the expansion of its 21 CFR Part 11 Software Validation Services.

“Food, supplement, cosmetic and OTC companies are adopting cloud systems and AI at the same speed as the rest of the market, but many do not have software validation expertise in-house or even know it is required,” said Brandon M. Griffin, CEO of REJIMUS, Inc.

The offering helps food and beverage, dietary supplement, cosmetic and over-the-counter (OTC) drug companies implement and maintain Part 11 compliance over their computerized systems, AI integrated workflows, and electronic record keeping practices to ensure such systems operate in compliance for their intended use throughout the operational life-cycle.

Electronic quality management systems, manufacturing execution systems, standalone document-control systems, laboratory information management systems, analytical equipment-attached software, enterprise resource planning tools, electronic batch and production records, electronic complaint handling, supplier-management systems, controlled spreadsheets, electronic-signature tools and AI-enabled/integrated software are now commonplace in regulated operations. 21 CFR Part 11 establishes controls for applicable electronic record keeping and electronic signatures, and under FDA’s current guidance, it generally applies when records required by an FDA statute are maintained electronically in lieu of paper, when companies rely on electronic records to perform regulated activities, when designated records are submitted electronically to FDA, or when electronic signatures replace required handwritten signatures. Not every computer system or electronic record is automatically subject to Part 11, and such determination can be made quickly in an Electronic System Gap Assessment.

Validation decisions and scope should be based on a justified, documented assessment of intended use, inclusive of product quality and safety, regulatory obligations, and the accuracy, integrity, availability and authenticity of required records and signatures. REJIMUS does not presume that every use of artificial intelligence is subject to Part 11, therefore, AI utilization is evaluated case by case as part of the underlying computerized system and regulated workflows. The assessment from REJIMUS considers whether AI creates, modifies, summarizes, classifies, recommends, reviews, approves, retains or transmits information that the company relies upon as a required record or to perform a regulated quality or compliance activity.

While most established Part 11 Validation service providers in the US, publicly center their costly services on companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical-device sectors, REJIMUS offers a notably more efficient and cost-effective alternative for consumer-product businesses in the foods, dietary supplements, cosmetics and OTC drugs sectors that are subject to the same regulations.

“Food, supplement, cosmetic and OTC companies are adopting cloud systems and AI at the same speed as the rest of the market, but many do not have software validation expertise in-house or know it is required,” said Brandon M. Griffin, CEO of REJIMUS, Inc. “AI can help quality and regulatory teams work faster, but speed cannot replace evidence, governance and accountability,” Griffin said. “Our role is to determine where the gaps are quickly, where AI sits in the regulated process, what controls and testing are proportionate to the risk, and how human oversight, vendor monitoring and change control can keep the system operating as intended.”

REJIMUS combines specialized Part 11 validation leadership with quality and regulated-operations expertise to address cGMP Quality Systems wholistically with an efficient compliance mindset. This is inclusive of SOP development, facility and supplier auditing, FDA inspection preparation, and most notably in the complete resolution and close out of of FDA Form 483’s and Warning Letters. That distinction matters because AI-enabled functions can and are introducing new risks that are different from conventional deterministic software. A human reviewer does not eliminate the need to understand and control the system when its output materially supports a regulated decision.

Services are scaled to the system, intended use and risk and may include:

Part 11 gap assessments; system, data-integrity and AI-use risk assessments; validation planning; and remediation roadmapsPart 11 auditing; user and functional requirements; supplier assessments; configuration, security, access-control, audit-trail and electronic-signature reviewsPart 11 validations; writing and executing of test protocols and scripts; IQ, OQ, PQ and user-acceptance testing, as applicable, inclusive of requirements traceability, deviations and Part 11 validation summary reportsExisting-system remediation; for data-migration validation, governing SOPs, staff training and change control, full and partial re-validations and ongoing lifecycle support

Part 11 Software Validation services from REJIMUS are available for new implementations, existing or legacy platforms, cloud and software-as-a-service systems, significant software upgrades, integrations, data migrations, inspection readiness and remediation following audit or FDA inspections.
