Industry Odisha Bureau, Oct 31: Affordable meal app shows early signs of attracting new users, but analysts question incremental demand. Swiggy’s affordable meal app, Toing, is attracting new users but also sharp analyst scrutiny. The question is whether it can create incremental demand without hurting core profits. Food delivery is fiercely competitive, and customers watch prices closely. Toing targets price-sensitive diners who may skip Swiggy’s main app over cost. In its September-quarter shareholder letter, Swiggy said Toing could lift combined marketplace growth. It pegged that growth at 25–30%, against 18–20% guidance for the core business. That is a management expectation,…

Industry Odisha Bureau, Oct 31: AI now handles resumes and initial interviews, forcing firms to rethink traditional billing. India’s recruitment firms are rewriting their playbook as AI automates routine hiring work. Tools now source resumes, check backgrounds, match skills and run initial interview rounds. Many firms are now shifting toward senior hiring and re-evaluating their traditional billing model. Quess Corp, among India’s top three staffing firms, offers a clear signal. It has rebranded its key IT staffing vertical as IT Solutions. Kapil Joshi, CEO of Quess IT Solutions, shared the company’s January–September demand data. Compared with last year, demand for…
Industry Odisha Bureau, Oct 30: Max Healthcare has approved ₹415 crore of capital expenditure to add 209 beds. The beds will go into three existing hospitals, the company said in Friday’s exchange filing. The approval came alongside a 10% like-for-like rise in September-quarter network profit. Together, the two disclosures show a hospital chain spending to meet rising demand. Max Super Speciality Hospital (MSSH), Noida, will get 85 beds. MSSH Vaishali will add 60, while BLK-Max Hospital will add 64. BLK-Max will also get a multi-level parking tower. Because the outlay covers parking too, it does not translate neatly into a…
Industry Odisha Bureau, Oct 30: India’s data protection regime is nearing its real test. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, now has rules notified in November 2025. The full framework is expected to take effect in May 2027. It promises citizens more control and gives organisations clearer duties. Two October incidents show why a law on paper is not enough. SBI found 3,897 customer records with personal details in a dark-web dataset. Its preliminary review covered about 375,000 records, according to media reports. The data reportedly included names, phone numbers, addresses and loan-linked details. The source, authenticity and full…
Industry Odisha Bureau, Oct 30: Cyber hygiene has moved from IT jargon to a pressing economic concern in India. The term covers routine habits that keep devices, systems and data secure. Think strong passwords, timely updates and caution with unknown links. Skipping them now carries a measurable price. IBM’s 2026 data breach report puts India’s average breach cost at ₹25.5 crore. That is 15.9% higher than a year earlier. Financial services firms fared worse, averaging ₹40.9 crore per breach. The average breach exposed 39,500 records, up from 38,200. Globally, IBM’s 2025 report showed costs falling 9% to $4.44 million. India…
Industry Odisha Bureau, Oct 30: India wants its own shipping container industry, and it is paying to build one. The Union Cabinet cleared a ₹10,000-crore support programme on 28 October. It targets annual capacity of 7.5 lakh TEUs by FY40, up from 70,000. One TEU, or twenty-foot equivalent unit, equals a standard 20-foot steel box. That is a more than tenfold jump in just 13 years. The scheme mainly tackles running costs, where new Indian makers trail Chinese rivals. About ₹8,891 crore, nearly 90% of the outlay, will reward actual production. Makers will get ₹49,500 for each 20-foot box and…
Industry Odisha Bureau, Oct 30: ISRO is set to launch NVS-03 at 11:51pm on Friday. The satellite must help revive NavIC, India’s homegrown answer to GPS. Since March, NavIC has been unable to fix positions on its own. Only three of its satellites still broadcast navigation signals. Minister Jitendra Singh told the Lok Sabha on July 29 that four are needed. Its timing service, however, continues to work. India approved NavIC in May 2006 to cut reliance on foreign systems. The US runs GPS, Russia runs Glonass, Europe runs Galileo and China runs BeiDou. Japan operates QZSS, a regional system…
Industry Odisha Bureau, Oct 30: India wants to build its own shipping containers at scale. The Union Cabinet approved a ₹10,000-crore support scheme on 28 October. It aims to lift yearly capacity from 70,000 TEUs to 7.5 lakh by FY40. A TEU, or twenty-foot equivalent unit, measures one standard 20-foot box. The move ties container supply directly to India’s export ambitions. The challenge is stark. China built over 97% of the world’s containers in FY26. India’s share was just 0.5%, the National Shipping Board’s annual report shows. China produced about 6.45 million TEUs in 2025, its industry association reported. That…
