Following its participation at the India International Cargo Show (IICS) 2026, held in New Delhi from June 04th–06th, 2026, Parekh Global today announced its strategic transition into a unified global platform, marking a defining milestone in positioning the organisation for accelerated international expansion, governance-led scale, and technology-driven transformation.   L-R: Yogesh Parekh, Naresh Parekh and Yash Parekh, Directors, Parekh Global   The India International Cargo Show (IICS) is one of India’s leading logistics, cargo, and supply chain industry events, bringing together policymakers, logistics providers, freight forwarders, infrastructure developers, technology innovators, and global trade stakeholders to discuss emerging opportunities, industry challenges, and the future of integrated logistics. The event serves as a key platform for fostering collaboration, showcasing innovations, and strengthening India’s position in global supply chains.   The move represents a structural evolution of the legacy enterprise into an integrated global identity designed to enhance operational agility, strengthen compliance frameworks, and align more closely with shifting global trade dynamics and evolving client expectations. As supply chains realign and regulatory landscapes grow increasingly complex, the company is restructuring to operate with greater cohesion and responsiveness across markets.   “This is not merely a transition exercise; it is a strategic recalibration for the future,” said Mr. Naresh Parekh, Director, Parekh Global. “For over 70 years, Parekh legacy has been deeply rooted in India’s trade and logistics ecosystem, building a legacy founded on trust, resilience and expertise. Today, we are leveraging that strong Indian foundation to scale confidently into global markets.   As international trade corridors evolve and client expectations become more sophisticated, we are expanding our geographic reach, upgrading our technology infrastructure, and actively evaluating strategic acquisitions to align with global benchmarks. India remains a significant growth engine for us, but our vision now extends far beyond domestic boundaries. We are strengthening our talent pool, enhancing operational capabilities, and investing in advanced systems to ensure we not only meet but exceed international standards. Our goal is clear — to transform Parekh Global into a future-ready, globally competitive enterprise that delivers integrated, world-class solutions across markets.”   The unveiling of Parekh Global marks the consolidation of diverse capabilities under a single global platform designed to drive operational efficiencies, standardise governance processes, and present a cohesive market-facing identity. The integrated structure is expected to enable faster decision-making, strengthen cross-border coordination, and support disciplined capital allocation, while preserving the entrepreneurial strengths that have long defined the organisation’s legacy.   As geopolitical shifts reshape global trade and compliance requirements intensify across jurisdictions, Parekh Global is positioning itself as a structured, compliance-first enterprise capable of navigating volatility with resilience. Strengthened governance architecture and enhanced risk management frameworks form a central pillar of the transition.   “Scale must be accompanied by structure,” said Mr. Yogesh Parekh, Director, Parekh Global. “Our evolution into Parekh Global strengthens our governance architecture while enhancing our ability to operate seamlessly across markets. This integrated model allows us to balance growth ambitions with robust oversight.”   The company emphasised that the transition ensures continuity of leadership, operational teams, and long-standing client relationships. Existing stakeholders will experience seamless integration under the new identity, now supported by enhanced capabilities designed to foster long-term strategic partnerships rather than transactional engagements.   Over the next five years, Parekh Global plans to expand into priority international markets, forge strategic partnerships, accelerate digital transformation initiatives, and deepen investments in leadership development and sustainable growth practices. The company aims to leverage India’s expanding role in global trade while building operational depth across key overseas regions.   “Our objective is to build a globally integrated organisation that can scale responsibly,” Mr. Yash Parekh, Director, Parekh Global said. “We remain committed to delivering value with integrity while shaping an enterprise that reflects both our heritage and our forward-looking ambitions.”   By combining legacy strength with structural modernisation, Parekh Global is seeking to position itself as a resilient Indian enterprise with growing global relevance.   About Parekh Global Parekh Global is a legacy-driven enterprise with over 70 years of industry experience. The organisation has evolved into a unified global platform focused on governance-led growth, innovation, and client-centric service integration, with a long-term strategy centered on international expansion and digital transformation.

A new robotaxi partnership involving VinFast highlights four major shifts transforming the automotive industry, from software-defined vehicles to the growing push for autonomous mobility in emerging markets.   The automotive industry is moving away from an era where value was defined mainly by engines, mechanical engineering and factory scale. Instead, cars are becoming rolling computers, with software controlling everything from entertainment and navigation to safety systems and autonomous driving.   Vietnam’s VinFast announced a strategic partnership with NVIDIA and AI company Autobrains to develop a Level 4 robotaxi platform for Southeast Asia   One of the clearest signs of this transition arrived recently from an unexpected corner of the world. At NVIDIA GTC Taipei 2026, Vietnam’s VinFast announced a strategic partnership with NVIDIA and AI company Autobrains to develop a Level 4 robotaxi platform for Southeast Asia. Built on NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion 10 and powered by Autobrains’ Agentic AI software, the program aims to tackle one of the world’s most challenging traffic environments while making advanced autonomous mobility more scalable and cost-effective.   Beyond the announcement itself, the deal shines a light on several big changes happening all at once, from software-defined vehicles and AI-powered mobility to new partnerships and the push to bring autonomous driving into the real world.   Software-defined vehicles are becoming the industry’s next battleground For much of automotive history, competition revolved around engines, manufacturing efficiency and mechanical engineering. Increasingly, however, vehicles are becoming software platforms that can continuously evolve through over-the-air updates, AI-driven features and cloud connectivity.   According to IoT Analytics’ Software-defined Vehicles Adoption Report 2026, 45% of automotive OEMs and suppliers now rank software-defined vehicles (SDVs) as their top strategic priority, ahead of both autonomous driving and electrification.   This shift is particularly significant for EV manufacturers. Unlike internal combustion vehicles, EVs already rely heavily on software-controlled systems for battery management, energy optimization, thermal management and vehicle performance. In many ways, today’s EV is starting to look less like a traditional car and more like a smartphone with seats and wheels.   As vehicles become software-defined platforms, competitive advantage is increasingly determined by computing power, AI capabilities and software architecture, creating new opportunities for EV-first brands such as VinFast.   Emerging markets are becoming the next frontier for autonomous mobility The first generation of robotaxis largely focused on cities such as Phoenix, San Francisco, Shanghai and Beijing, where infrastructure is relatively structured and regulations are more mature.   Now comes the harder test: proving autonomous driving can work reliably in dense, highly unpredictable environments filled with motorcycles, informal driving behavior, pedestrians and mixed traffic conditions.   Southeast Asia represents challenges, but also a substantial commercial opportunity. According to IMARC Group, the Southeast Asian autonomous vehicle market reached approximately US$4.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to US$27.3 billion by 2034.   For VinFast, this presents an opportunity to develop autonomous driving systems tailored to the realities of emerging markets while remaining equally effective in Western urban environments. The company itself highlighted this point when announcing the partnership, describing Southeast Asia’s dense traffic, diverse road behavior and highly dynamic urban environments as a demanding validation ground for autonomous driving.   Think of it this way: teaching a robotaxi to drive on wide, orderly roads is one thing. Teaching it to handle a busy Southeast Asian intersection, where scooters seem to appear from every direction at once, is an entirely different challenge.   If autonomous systems can succeed in Southeast Asia, they may become significantly easier to deploy across many other developing markets.   The industry is moving from standalone automakers to technology ecosystems Autonomous driving has become too complex for any single company to master alone. Successful programs increasingly combine multiple areas of expertise: Automakers for vehicle integration and production AI specialists for autonomous software Semiconductor companies for computing platforms Mapping, simulation and cloud providers for supporting infrastructure   The VinFast-NVIDIA-Autobrains collaboration reflects this growing industry model. For newer EV brands, these ecosystems offer a shortcut to innovation by allowing them to leverage world-class technology partners rather than building every capability from scratch.   The future of EV innovation is increasingly being built through strategic technology ecosystems, and VinFast is leveraging global partnerships to accelerate the development of advanced autonomous capabilities.   The robotaxi industry is moving from experimentation to commercialization Perhaps the most important trend is that robotaxis are moving beyond experimentation and toward commercial scale.   The evidence is increasingly visible. Fully autonomous ride-hailing services are now completing hundreds of thousands of paid passengers trips every week across multiple cities, while operators continue expanding into new markets. At the same time, industry analysts project strong growth for the global robotaxi sector over the coming decade as more cities transition from pilot programs to commercial deployments.   Yet much of this progress remains concentrated in developed markets or relatively controlled operating environments. Large-scale deployment in emerging markets, where traffic patterns are more complex and less predictable, remains one of the industry’s next major challenges.   This is where VinFast’s approach stands out. By developing a Level 4 robotaxi platform specifically for Southeast Asia, the company is targeting a region that could become one of the most demanding proving grounds for autonomous mobility. And rather than positioning autonomous driving solely as a luxury technology, the company is pursuing an approach centered on broader deployment and real-world usability.   That aligns with a wider industry movement toward democratizing advanced mobility technologies and making autonomous transportation accessible to a larger population. After all, technologies tend to have the biggest impact not when they stay in premium products, but when ordinary people can use them in everyday life.

Riyadh Art has announced the installation of Family Tree (2020) by Indian contemporary artist Subodh Gupta, now on view at the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) arrival plaza in Riyadh. The artwork makes its Riyadh debut, marking the first time it has been displayed in the city. The work enters the Riyadh Art Permanent Collection as part of the program’s ongoing mission to integrate art into daily life across the city.   Family Tree, Subodh Gupta. 2020. Stainless steel. King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), Riyadh. Photograph courtesy of Riyadh Art, 2026. © Subodh Gupta Constructed from stainless steel and everyday household utensils, the large-scale sculpture takes the form of a peepal, or bodhi, tree, a species associated with cultural and spiritual significance across South Asia. By translating an organic form into metal and everyday domestic objects, Gupta repositions the tree within a contemporary, secular context. The work brings together objects commonly linked to domestic life, including tiffin boxes, thali pans, and milk pails, into a branching sculptural structure that reflects sustenance, migration, labour, and economic transformation. Installed within one of Riyadh’s key urban districts, Family Tree engages directly in its surrounding environment, creating both a public landmark and a place for gathering and reflection. “Family Tree reflects the power of art to connect people through familiar materials and shared experiences,” said Architect Badr Shenafi, Senior Director of Riyadh Art. “By bringing a work of this scale and significance to the capital, Riyadh Art continues to strengthen the presence of contemporary art within the city’s public spaces and everyday urban experience.” Subodh Gupta (b. 1964) is an Indian contemporary artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, installation, painting, photography, video, and performance. Born in Bihar, India, Gupta spent his early years traveling with a theatre group before studying painting at the College of Art in Patna, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. After relocating to New Delhi, his practice expanded beyond painting into three-dimensional and installation-based work. Gupta is widely known for incorporating stainless steel kitchen utensils and other objects associated with domestic life in India into his work. Through these familiar materials, he examines themes of cultural identity, migration, globalization, and economic transformation. His work reflects the relationship between tradition and modernity, abundance and scarcity, and local experience and global circulation. Gupta has exhibited internationally in major museums, biennales, and public art contexts, and his work is held in prominent public and private collections worldwide. Family Tree forms part of the Riyadh Art Permanent Collection, a growing citywide collection of public artworks installed across Riyadh’s neighbourhoods, public spaces, and routes of movement. Led by the Royal Commission for Riyadh City, Riyadh Art is one of the world’s largest public art programs and one of Riyadh’s four original mega projects under Vision 2030. Since its launch in 2019, Riyadh Art has installed 75 artworks across the city as part of the Permanent Collection, with further artworks planned for installation throughout 2026 and beyond. Across its annual festivals, Noor Riyadh and Tuwaiq Sculpture, Riyadh Art has showcased more than 580 works in multiple locations around the capital, attracting more than 17.3 million visitors and spectators to date.  Through works such as Family Tree, Riyadh Art continues to support the development of a public art collection that contributes to Riyadh’s cultural landscape and public realm.

What if a paint brand stopped telling you it works and simply showed you… in infrared? That is the idea behind the new Digital Video Campaign (DVC) by Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited, one of the leading Indian paint companies, for its advanced heat reflective coating – Nerolac Perma NoHeat. Produced by creative and content agency BUZZINga for Kansai Nerolac Paints, the campaign used the only thermal imaging camera available in India to showcase the functionality of Perma NoHeat, demonstrating a 15°C surface temperature reduction visible to the naked eye.   Kansai Nerolac Paints puts heat on camera   The DVC puts Nerolac Perma NoHeat through a real test and let the thermal camera render the verdict. Filmed in Rajasthan, the experiment captures surface temperatures on treated and untreated surfaces using a thermal vision camera. The resulting footage, rendered in heat spectrum colour, transforms what would otherwise be an invisible physical phenomenon into something consumers can process in seconds. The resulting visual contrast clearly demonstrates the coating’s ability to reduce surface temperatures under real-world conditions. The use of thermal imaging in this DVC marks a notable departure from conventional category communication in Indian paints. By making that readout the centrepiece of the film, BUZZINga and Kansai Nerolac Paints have effectively converted an abstract product specification into a visible, real time proof point.   Can a paint really reduce heat? | Kansai Nerolac Perma No Heat Experiment   YouTube Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHrWCqu9FLQ   Ramkrishna Naik, Chief Marketing Officer, Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited said, “With Nerolac Perma NoHeat, we have always known that the product’s strongest advocate is its own performance. Our objective with this campaign was to close the gap between what we claim and what the consumer can independently verify. It was not built on storytelling alone, but on evidence. We believe that in a market where trust and performance accountability are becoming central to purchase decisions, this approach sets a new benchmark for how paint brands can communicate product efficacy.”   “The brief was simple: help consumers understand that a paint can actually help reduce heat. We felt the answer wasn’t in explaining the science better, but in making it visible. That thinking led us to conceive and execute a film built around thermal imaging technology and a real-world experiment. At BUZZINga, we’re always looking for new ways to make brand stories more tangible, and this approach allowed us to turn an invisible benefit into something consumers could instantly see and understand. In doing so, we helped create what we believe is a first-of-its-kind use of thermal imaging in the Indian paint category to showcase actual product performance,” Kritika Beri, Co-Founder, BUZZINga added.   Designed for exterior walls, terraces, and rooftop surfaces, Nerolac Perma NoHeat functions as a passive cooling intervention, requiring no power or upkeep. It is engineered for the specific challenges of the Indian subcontinent, through specialised pigments designed to reflect solar radiation and reduce heat absorption.   About Kansai Nerolac Paints Ltd.
