byteEDGE emerges from stealth mode to creates a new Enterprise AI category, raises $1.5M

Backed by Global Investors, 30+ Enterprises, and Rapid Global Expansion

[Gurgaon, India | May 5, 2025] –  byteEDGE, is defining a new category of Enterprise AI Knowledge Performance System that is designed for rapid dissemination of organizational mission critical knowledge in instantly digestible short videos, has raised $1.5M in seed round led by TRTL Ventures, a leading Japanese VC along with global and Indian angel investors.

Already adopted by over 30 global enterprises, byteEDGE is addressing a $40B+ market opportunity in enterprise mission critical knowledge transfer—one of the biggest silent killers of productivity and revenue in the modern workforce. Founded by a former Skillsoft & Hewlett Packard Asia Pacific MD and a former PwC Partner, the company is launching operations in the US and Middle East and preparing for its next $3M raise for international expansion amid strong interest from tier-1 global VCs.

“We’re building for rapid mission-critical knowledge transfer for today’s modern workforce” said Kamal Dutta, CEO & Co-founder. “Every business today is sitting on a goldmine of insights trapped in PDFs, PowerPoints, and portals, we bring a consumer-grade experience to unlocking that with a reel-first, AI-powered mobile experience that today’s workforce actually wants to engage with”

byteEDGE’s proprietary platform transforms lengthy documents into swipe able, multilingual, byte-size videos—making high-stake knowledge instantly accessible in the flow of work integrated with companies’ ecosystem apps. It’s already delivering measurable outcomes in sales enablement, onboarding, performance support and frontline productivity.

“42% of sales teams lack product knowledge, costing billions in lost revenue annually. This is a silent endemic,” said Akash Gupt, COO & Co-founder. “People scroll, not read. Learning must meet them where they are—on mobile, on-demand, in seconds.”

With enterprise clients that include multiple Fortune 500s and multinational giants, byteEDGE is fast becoming the go-to knowledge platform for the swipe generation workforce.

Investors might want to take note of this category-defining AI disruptor has just entered the enterprise AI space —and it’s moving fast.

Omni Media Consulting Unveils Strategic Brand Refresh to Champion a New Era of Full-Funnel, Measurable Marketing

Omni Media Consulting Unveils Strategic Brand Refresh to Champion a New Era of Full-Funnel, Measurable Marketing

New Delhi | May 2025 – With a strong track record of helping brands transform fragmented efforts into strategic, measurable growth, Omni Media Consulting today officially unveils its brand refresh—a visual and strategic evolution designed to reflect the needs of modern enterprises. The rebrand introduces more than just a new look; it represents a renewed commitment to creative & strategic approaches, data automation, full-funnel strategy, agility, and business impact.

In today’s increasingly complex marketing landscape, brands are facing a new set of challenges. Campaigns are often siloed. Customer journeys are disconnected. And despite an abundance of data, many marketing efforts still fail to translate into meaningful results.

Omni Media Consulting—a results-driven marketing consulting firm with a global footprint—has been solving this for years, with a proven track record of success that instills confidence in our clients and partners.

Why the Rebrand, and Why Now?

The brand refresh comes at a pivotal moment.

After years of delivering strategic growth through partner networks, referrals, and selective campaigns, Omni Media Consulting is ready to broaden its reach. The updated brand reflects:

  • A wider spectrum of full-funnel services across strategy, creative, paid media, data analytics, SEO, web development, and email automation
  • A mature positioning as a growth enabler, not merely a service provider
  • A deeper focus on partnerships with SMBs, mid-market firms, and scale-ups across North America, the UK, the Middle East, and Asia

“This isn’t a pivot—it’s a sharpening,” adds Saurav Chhabra. “We’ve always been results-first. We’ve always been strategic. Now, our branding reflects it. And our clients will benefit from this elevated clarity.”

Complexity Has Outpaced Capability

In an era defined by information saturation, businesses need more than creative efforts and isolated optimizations. Sustainable success hinges on holistic digital ecosystems that align strategy, execution, and performance in real time.

Yet, too many brands—especially mid to large-sized enterprises—are still trapped in outdated models: juggling multiple vendors, lacking clear attribution, and pouring budgets into tactics with no clarity on ROI.

“We’ve seen brands stuck in cycles of noise,” says Saurav Chhabra, Founder & Director of Omni Media Consulting. “Agencies offer piecemeal services, while internal teams struggle to stitch them together. What’s missing is a unified vision—clarity, strategic direction, and a clear path to meaningful brand growth. That’s the foundation we’ve always operated on. This rebrand isn’t a shift; it’s a reflection of the integrated value we’ve been delivering all along.”

A Strategy-First, Outcome-Driven Approach

In one instance, a rapidly scaling global e-commerce brand approached the firm with a common problem: rising acquisition costs, inconsistent messaging across channels, and low customer retention. Omni didn’t only fix the symptoms—it rebuilt the foundation.

Through Omni’s full-funnel marketing audits, strategic repositioning, segmented paid media, and advanced analytics implementation, the brand saw these results in over six months:

  • A 3.7x increase in paid media ROI
  • 65% higher lead-to-conversion rates
  • 28% improvement in customer retention

These aren’t one-off wins—they’re repeatable frameworks.

What Clients Can Expect

The rebrand brings improved structure and communication to what clients already value most:

  • An experienced, agile team focused on results, not vanity metrics.
  • Full-funnel campaign strategy, from go-to-market to retention.
  • A proven process that combines market research, digital execution, analytics, and optimization under one roof.

As one long-time client says, “Omni isn’t simply a vendor. They’re our growth partner. They understand what we’re trying to build—and help us get there faster, smarter.”

Looking Ahead

Omni Media Consulting’s rebrand is a promise: to move with the market, to lead with strategy, and to deliver measurable impact in an era that demands more.

Because in 2025 and beyond, brands don’t need more noise. They need clarity. Focus. And performance.

And Omni is built to deliver just that.

Researcher Unveils Simplest Method for Measuring Bio-Electricity in Rudraksha

Researcher Unveils Simplest Method for Measuring Bio-Electricity in Rudraksha

Not every research has to look complicated, sometimes they are quite ordinary & understandable by common man.

April 28, 2025 – Mumbai, India — In a creative development that could add-up to the research areas ranging from agriculture, ayurvedic science, spirituality to the renewable energy, an independent researcher from Palghar, Maharashtra has discovered a novel technique of measuring bio-electricity in Rudraksha (scientific name: Elaeocarpus ganitrus) with decent accuracy and sensitivity.

Punit M. Kansara, a researcher & founder of therudrakshatree.org, shared his findings in the International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research (IJFMR), with a paper titled “Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Bead & Bio Electricity”. This new method utilizes the simplest approach & ordinary device capable of detecting subtle electrical signals within a bead of Elaeocarpus ganitrus in real time, offering a direct alternative to traditional impedance spectroscopy (IS) techniques used for analysing the electrical properties of materials and electrochemical systems by measuring the resistance and capacitance of a material as a function of frequency.

“Bio-electricity plays a critical role in everything right from a brain activity, muscle movement to healing wounds and cellular level of communication and since many centuries, rudraksha has been seen as a healing agent & spiritual transformation tool” Punit Kansara said. “Until now, our setup for measuring these signals in rudraksha have been highly complex, & practicality not in reach of a common man. This method opens new avenues for understanding if at all, a rudraksha bead contains any bio-electricity? If yes, how much electrically charged a particular bead of rudraksha is, that too can be gauged with a most ordinary instrument, or to simply say, if a bead of rudraksha is dead or alive.”

This experiment uses an electronic device called digital multi-meter which generally an electronic shop keeper uses for measuring diodes, transistors, capacitors etc. This study has been conducted on more than 100 samples of Nepal origin Rudraksha which includes different Mukhi of beads such as 5 Faces, 11 Faces, a Doublet – popularly known as Gaurishankar bead along with few broken bead compartments with seeds and without seeds in them.

This study has directly uncovered some interesting answers to the questions, such as how to check if a rudraksha bead is dead or alive? Which part of rudraksha is an energy storehouse? What is a right method of measuring a rudraksha bead with the help of a multi-meter?

Each of these questions are carefully answered in this published research paper, you can download it for free since it is published in an open access journal, kindly follow the mentioned steps and try measuring the bio-electricity of your rudraksha.

Access to the freely downloadable research paper:

https://www.ijfmr.com/research-paper.php?id=42807

Kansara is currently working on the next part of this research to uncover some other interesting characteristics of this mystical bead.

At “The Rudraksha Tree”, he makes powerful rudraksha combination mala such as Siddha mala. Being a meditator himself and as a social cause he teaches meditation to the under-privileged children at the Government schools in the rural interiors of Palghar – Maharashtra, so that a light of consciousness can spread further.

14th Degree Azimuth Advisory Releases AI-Focused GCC Report in Bangalore

Bangalore, April 25, 2025 – 14th Degree Azimuth Advisory, a boutique GCC advisory firm focusing on AI-First Global Capability Centers for Trade Buyers and Enterprises, today released its GCC report titled “GCCs – Evolution, Technology Adoption and Way Ahead, Thought Leadership Paper covering AI Readiness in Back and Middle Office”, at a function held in Bangalore.

Releasing the report, Yadu Singh, Global Managing Partner, 14th Degree Azimuth Advisory said “AI proof of concepts are slowly getting into production in back and middle office in GCCs. These PoCs not only face employee resistance especially among the more tenured global capability centers but also existing structural and technical challenges like clean and context specific data, data localisation challenges and ESG pressures such as more stringent GDPR, DPDP act for offshore entities.”

The report provides key insights on

  1. Efficiency of operations is a clear winner when it comes to business outcomes
  2. Rising Challenges in Data Privacy, Protection, and Compliance
  3. Increasing demand for Environmental Social and Governance Reporting
  4. GCCs at the Core of Cost-Effective Digital Transformation

Talking about the how the report benefits enterprises looking at setting up their GCC’s , Nandini Sankar, Managing Partner said “The 14DAA research methodology comprised of both experiential learning of last 25 years across both providers and GCC owners as well as primary research on AI readiness in back and middle office. Rather than focusing heavily on historical data, we centred our approach on three discontinuities reshaping the ecosystem—AI, Quantum Computing, and the rapid transformation of Digital/Public infrastructure in countries like India. This is not a case of continuous improvement but of disruptive innovation, requiring a fresh perspective for evaluation. Our key objective was to assess the maturity of centers, Leadership, Culture, and Operating Structure. The focus was to assess the management flexibility of the parent company to fully embrace these discontinuities (for example AI) and the ability of GCC to move toward a more risk mitigation and business outcome-based innovation driven approach for the parent.”

The event was attended by leading companies like Enerva Marine, Fresenius, Harmann International, Infinity Infoway, Mercedes Benz, NDB Wealth, Randstad Digital, Sutherland Global amongst others.

The report will also be launched in London on June 10th (Backdrop of the London AI Summit), New York on June 17th (Backdrop of the Banking IT Summit) and Hamburg on June 24/25th (Backdrop of India Week)
