66degrees Appoints Subhashini Panyam as Chief People Officer to Lead People Strategy and Scale AI-Native Forward Deployed Engineering Model

Published

on

CHICAGO, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today 66degrees announced the appointment of Subhashini (Subha) Panyam as Chief People Officer. Subha joins the executive leadership team with more than two decades of global human resources leadership across technology, product, engineering, and services organizations, including Hitachi, Broadridge, and ADP. Most recently Head of Global Talent Acquisition at Hitachi Digital Services, Subha has spent her career building globally integrated teams across North America, India, and other markets, and advancing the adoption of AI across talent practices. She will lead the people function and talent strategy as 66degrees scales its AI-native delivery model and forward deployed engineering capabilities.

As a leader in full stack AI-native delivery, 66degrees helps clients transform to AI-native enterprises by combining deep industry and business-process expertise, Paradigm°⎯the company’s agentic platform that centralizes intelligence and expertise, and forward deployed engineers that deliver localized solutions for clients. Subha’s top area of focus will be building end-to-end talent capabilities to develop and enable 66degrees’ forward deployed engineers (FDEs). Building an effective model for developing FDEs will drive significant value for 66degrees and its clients in their transformation to AI-first and AI-native enterprises. With demand accelerating, including through 66degrees’ introduction of Paradigm°OS for AI workflow transformation, which is part of the broader Paradigm° agentic platform, 66degrees continues to invest in its platform and people to deliver value at scale for clients.

What Sets 66degrees’ Forward Deployed Engineers Apart

Key differentiators across 66degrees’ FDEs are proximity to the client, business process expertise, full-stack depth across the Google Cloud platform, deep familiarity with Paradigm°, and training at 66degrees’ FDE University. A deep understanding of business processes and operational challenges in 66degrees’ focused verticals of HCLS, Supply Chain, Retail, and Financial Services is the first area where 66degrees FDEs stand out from industry peers. Further, training across the Google Cloud platform and on Paradigm° allows 66degrees to differentiate its FDE offering by accelerating platform, data, and AI modernization across the enterprise.

“The FDEs we place inside a client’s operations create the client’s experience of 66degrees. I have learned you only get one first impression in life and with clients. Because of this, we are placing significant investment behind training and enabling our FDEs. Everything else we’ve built, Paradigm°, agentic workflows, and Google Cloud expertise, reaches our clients through our FDEs. For this reason, I am thrilled about the critical task Subha is undertaking to recruit, train, and enable our FDEs. Her background has prepared her for this moment to help 66degrees create this catalyst for our business and our clients.”

— Ben Kessler, Chief Executive Officer of 66degrees

66degrees FDE University: Developing the Forward Deployed Engineer for the AI-Native Enterprise

66degrees’ FDE University (FDEU) is where the modern forward deployed engineer is developed, and Subha will help advance and lead FDEU as the first cohort launches this October. Rather than searching for engineers who already hold the full combination of needed skills, FDEU builds it: senior engineers with proven Google Cloud depth are developed into forward deployed engineers through capability assessment and intensive instruction in industry operations and business process, all conducted on Paradigm°, so platform delivery is second nature by the time they are deployed at a client.

“AI doesn’t create business value in a slide deck—it creates value in production. That’s why we created FDE University. We don’t just deploy engineers; we field 66degrees FDEs who combine deep Google Cloud mastery, business acumen, and our Paradigm° platform to solve the hardest enterprise challenges from day one.”

— Tanwir Danish, EVP Global Head of Data and AI of 66degrees

One Global Integrated Team, Developed to One Standard

Beyond launching FDE University and helping develop a pipeline of FDEs, Subha’s role extends to the organization itself: building one global team and one global culture across 66degrees’ North American, India, and international centers, where people in every market share the same culture, the same opportunity to grow, and the same sense of being part of one company. Subha will lead formal initiatives in investing in leaders, in careers, and in ways of working that let people across the company collaborate as one team across markets, delivering great outcomes for our clients and partners.

“Our opportunity is to build the talent, leadership, and culture that enable people and AI to work together in new ways, creating an organization that innovates continuously. That starts with our people: investing in their growth, giving them leaders worth following, and building a culture where learning is constant and everyone, in every market, feels part of one team doing meaningful work.”

— Subhashini Panyam, Chief People Officer of 66degrees

Hivelocity Launches Outlet Store — Bare Metal Servers, Ready Now, at Lower Prices

Published

By

A new section of the Hivelocity store offers in-stock, fully functional dedicated servers at reduced monthly pricing, giving customers facing long lead times on new hardware a faster path to deployment.

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hivelocity, an infrastructure-as-a-service provider of bare metal, dedicated servers, edge computing, and virtualized cloud solutions, today announced the launch of the Hivelocity Outlet Store, a new section of its storefront offering proven, in-stock server configurations at reduced monthly pricing. The Outlet Store gives customers immediate access to reliable infrastructure without the wait times currently affecting parts of the hardware supply chain.

As Hivelocity upgrades its server portfolio, the company moves previous configurations into the Outlet Store, offering them at lower prices. These servers enable organizations to support development, proof-of-concept, build farm, and similar engineering workloads without paying for excess capacity or waiting for the latest systems to become available.

Outlet Store servers are available on a month-to-month basis, with no long-term contract required. Customers who outgrow an outlet configuration can move up to a more powerful dedicated server as their requirements evolve. To keep pricing low and enable rapid deployment, the Outlet Store does not offer custom configuration options.

“If you’ve been waiting on new hardware because of supply chain delays, there’s no reason to keep waiting. The Outlet Store gives customers proven, in-stock servers at a lower price point, so they can get running today instead of sitting in a queue.” — Ned Pope, Chief Product Officer, Hivelocity

Customers can access the Outlet Store now through the Hivelocity. For additional workload needs, they can continue to choose from the full Hivelocity catalog of dedicated, cloud, and colocation infrastructure.

About Hivelocity

Founded in 2002, Hivelocity operates bare metal infrastructure across globally distributed data centers, serving mid-market and enterprise customers in healthcare, SaaS, fintech, gaming, and high-performance computing. The company runs 24/7/365 in-house support with a roughly 15-minute average ticket response and a transactional NPS of 79, backed by an SLA-backed 99.99 percent network uptime guarantee.

By

NANJING, China, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Scage Future (Nasdaq: SCAG) (“Scage” or the “Company”), a zero-emission solution provider of new energy heavy-duty commercial vehicles and e-fuel solutions, today announced that on August 27, 2026 the Company received two notification letters (together, the “Notification Letters”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). This press release is issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure upon receipt of a deficiency notification.

The first Notification Letter advised the Company that, based on Nasdaq’s review of the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) for the 30 consecutive business days from July 16, 2026 to August 26, 2026, the Company no longer meets the minimum MVLS of US$50,000,000 required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A). Nasdaq calculates MVLS based on the most recent total shares outstanding multiplied by the daily closing bid price. Nasdaq also noted in the letter that the Company does not meet the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(A), the Total Assets and Total Revenue standard.

The second Notification Letter advised the Company that, based on Nasdaq’s review of the Company’s Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) for the 30 consecutive business days from July 16, 2026 to August 26, 2026, the Company no longer meets the minimum MVPHS of US$15,000,000 required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2&3)(C). Nasdaq calculates MVPHS based on the most recent publicly held shares information multiplied by the closing bid price.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5810(c)(3)(C) and 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has been provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days, through February 23, 2027, to regain compliance with each requirement. To regain compliance, the Company’s MVLS must close at US$50,000,000 or more, and its MVPHS must close at US$15,000,000 or more, in each case for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. Nasdaq staff may, in its discretion, require the Company to satisfy the applicable requirement for a period in excess of ten consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that compliance has been demonstrated.

The Notification Letters have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s American depositary shares, which continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SCAG.” A deficiency indicator will be displayed with quotation information for the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.com and NasdaqTrader.com, and the Company will be included in the list of non-compliant companies published on the Nasdaq Listing Center commencing five business days from the date of the Notification Letters.

If the Company does not regain compliance with either requirement prior to the expiration of the applicable compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting, at which time the Company may appeal the determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Alternatively, the Company may be eligible to transfer its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided it meets the Capital Market’s continued listing requirements.

As previously disclosed, the Company received a notification from Nasdaq on June 11, 2026 regarding the minimum bid price requirement, with a compliance period through December 8, 2026. The Company has also received a notification regarding the composition of its audit committee, with a remediation period through December 22, 2026.

The Company intends to monitor its MVLS and MVPHS and to consider the options available to it to regain compliance, which may include applying to transfer its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s business operations are not affected by the receipt of the Notification Letters. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the MVLS or MVPHS requirements within the applicable compliance periods.
