It is the first time the AI-powered platform, which serves 4.7 million users and is recognized as one of the world’s most advanced digital government platforms, will be available for international licensing and deployment.

The launch marks a significant milestone in Abu Dhabi’s ambition to become the world’s first AI-native government. It reflects growing international demand for proven technologies that can accelerate digital transformation while protecting sovereignty, regulatory compliance and public trust. It also demonstrates how homegrown innovation and intellectual property are creating opportunities well beyond Abu Dhabi’s borders.

Ahmed Tamim Hisham Al Kuttab, Chairman of the Department of Government Enablement – Abu Dhabi, said: “TAMM was created in Abu Dhabi for one reason: to improve lives. Today, it serves millions of users and has become an integral part of how people and businesses interact with government. Through TAMM Global, we are building on that success by making capabilities developed and proven in Abu Dhabi available to governments seeking to deliver better outcomes for their people.”

Since launching in 2005, TAMM has evolved into the digital gateway to government services in Abu Dhabi. It combines more than 1,200 public and private sector services and saves each user approximately nine visits to government service centers per year – returning an estimated 12 hours to every person and business annually. TAMM currently achieves a customer satisfaction score of 94.5% – up from 78% in 2022, before AI was integrated into the app. It has also cut the cost of providing services by 30%, with most savings coming within the first year.

Services available through TAMM include setting up a business entirely through the app, including opening a business bank account, managing investment portfolios, renewing identity documents, completing vehicle registrations and accessing a wide range of everyday government services. TAMM AutoGov, announced in 2025 as the world’s first AI public servant, can proactively renew licenses, settle payments and book routine healthcare appointments without requiring users to initiate the process themselves.

Through TAMM Global, governments will gain access to the technology, operating model and implementation expertise behind one of the world’s most advanced digital government platforms. The platform includes a library of pre-built government services, journeys and digital capabilities that can be adapted to local laws, regulations and operating requirements, helping governments deploy faster and with less implementation complexity.

AI is embedded throughout the platform, including service discovery, automation, decision support, service delivery and AI-enabled service rendering. This allows governments to offer more proactive, personalized and efficient experiences.

Each deployment can be configured for adopting governments’ own languages, laws and institutions. TAMM Global supports multilingual and sovereign deployment models, allowing governments to retain full control over their data, infrastructure, policies and citizen services while benefiting from proven technology already deployed at scale.

The company will license the platform architecture, implementation methodologies and operational expertise that enabled Abu Dhabi to build and operate TAMM at scale. By combining pre-built capabilities with proven implementation methods and operating practices refined through millions of real-world interactions, TAMM Global can help governments accelerate deployment without having to build an equivalent platform from scratch.

As an independent private-sector company, TAMM Global will be able to partner directly with governments, organizations and institutions worldwide.

TAMM’s innovation and impact have earned international recognition. In 2025, it was named the world’s best e-Government initiative at the UN-backed World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Prizes. In 2026, it won the Government category across Europe, the Middle East and Asia in the Gartner Eye on Innovation Awards.

TestMu AI Brings Real Device Testing to Kane CLI, Letting Developers Test Mobile Apps on Real Phones From Any Terminal

Business Wire India

TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the Full Stack Agentic AI Quality Engineering platform, announced real device support in Kane CLI. Developers can now test a mobile app on a real phone or tablet in the TestMu AI cloud straight from the terminal: they type what to test in plain English, and Kane taps through the app on a real Android or iOS device.

Until now, testing a mobile app on real hardware meant keeping a drawer of phones, or a separate device farm outside the developer’s workflow. With real device support, Kane CLI removes that dependency again now by giving terminal-first access to the real device cloud. Kane CLI on real devices gives teams:

• Real Android and iOS devices from any terminal. Kane CLI opens a real device in the TestMu AI cloud and taps through the app from natural language prompts. Developers pick a model and OS version, or let the cloud assign any available device.
• A live view of the device. The real device’s screen opens in its own window on the developer’s laptop and updates live as Kane CLI taps, so teams can watch the test as it runs.
• Saved, replayable tests. Each run becomes a saved test that can be replayed later without the AI re-deciding each tap, and re-run on the cloud grid at scale with a single command.
• Results in Test Manager. Every test, its steps, and screenshots land in TestMu AI Test Manager, like every other Kane test.
• Less setup. Android permissions and iOS alerts are handled automatically, and app builds (.apk, .aab, .ipa) upload once and are reused across runs.

“Real device testing has always been the part of mobile QA that teams put off because it needed hardware, a Mac, and a separate tool. We wanted it to be one line in the terminal,”said Mudit Singh, Co-Founder, TestMu AI.“With Kane CLI, a developer on any laptop can describe a test in plain English, watch it run on a real phone in the cloud, and ship with the same confidence as a team with a full device lab.”

Real device support is available today in Kane CLI 0.9.0 and later for customers on KaneAI Max or KaneAI credits with Real Device Plus Automation Cloud. To get started, visit testmuai.com/kane-cli.

About TestMu AI

TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest) is a Full Stack Agentic AI Quality Engineering platform that empowers teams to test intelligently and ship faster. AI-native by design, it offers end-to-end AI agents to plan, author, execute, and analyze software quality across web, mobile, and enterprise applications, on real devices, real browsers, and custom real-world environments.

Anjali Jewellers Celebrates the Eternal Bond of Motherhood and the Divine Spirit of Durga Puja Through an Emotional Brand Film

Business Wire India

Durga Puja is more than a festival. It is an emotion, a homecoming, and a celebration of the bonds that define our lives. Capturing this timeless sentiment, Anjali Jewellers has created a heartwarming short film that celebrates the enduring bond between a mother and her son, weaving together the emotional essence of motherhood, the warmth of homecoming, and the divine spirit of Durga Puja.

At the heart of the film lies a story that resonates with countless families. It traces a mother’s quiet sacrifices as she nurtures her son through his growing years, putting his dreams and happiness before her own. As time passes, the child grows up and steps into the world, carrying with him the values and love that shaped his life. But when Durga Puja arrives, the call of home and the unconditional love of his mother bring him back.

On the auspicious occasion of Durga Puja, the son returns home with a special gift for his mother—a beautiful Gold Jhumka, a pair of traditional gold earrings. More than a piece of jewellery, the gift becomes a tender expression of gratitude, an acknowledgement of years of sacrifice, and a heartfelt gesture of love that words often fail to convey.

Through this poignant narrative, Anjali Jewellers draws a beautiful parallel between the divine motherhood of Maa Durga and the selfless love of a mother in every household. Just as Durga Puja celebrates the arrival of the Goddess, it also becomes a moment to honour the women whose love, strength and sacrifices shape our lives.

Directed by Roja Paromita Dey, the film marks her debut as a director. With its emotionally grounded storytelling, the film seeks to connect with audiences through a universally cherished truth: while growing up may take us far from home, love always finds a way to bring us back.

Sharing his thoughts on the brand film, Annargha Uuttiya Chowdhury, Partner, Anjali Jewellers, said, “For us at Anjali Jewellers, jewellery has always been about much more than gold. It is about emotions, memories and relationships that become a part of our lives. Durga Puja is a time when these emotions come alive, when we return to our roots and express our love for the people who mean the most to us. Through this film, we wanted to celebrate a mother’s unconditional love and the countless sacrifices she makes, often without expecting anything in return. The son’s gift of a pair of gold jhumkas on Durga Puja is a small gesture carrying a lifetime of gratitude. We hope this story touches hearts and reminds everyone that the most precious gifts are those that come wrapped in love.”

The film culminates in the evocative Bengali line, “Anjali Chhara Pujo Hoy Na”—a sentiment that translates to “Durga Puja is incomplete without Anjali Jewellers.” More than a brand signature, the line reflects the brand’s aspiration to be an enduring part of Bengal’s most cherished festive traditions, family celebrations and treasured moments.

With this film, Anjali Jewellers celebrates not merely the beauty of gold jewellery, but the emotions that give it meaning. Because some gifts are worn, some are treasured, and some become timeless reminders of a love that has given us everything.

This Durga Puja, Anjali Jewellers celebrates the mother in every home and the divine spirit of motherhood that makes every homecoming special.

Kohler Announces Official Partnership with DP World India Championship 2026

Business Wire India

Kohler India, a global leader in kitchen and bath design, has announced its association as an Official Partner of the DP World India Championship 2026, India’s premier golf tournament. Taking place from 15–18 October at Delhi Golf Club, the tournament brings together leading international golfing talent while providing Kohler a platform to engage with business leaders, luxury consumers and the wider golfing community. This year’s field features some of the sport’s biggest names, including major champions Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy, alongside defending champion Tommy Fleetwood, adding to the stature and excitement surrounding the event.

Golf is an integral part of Kohler’s global hospitality portfolio, with a collection of championship courses in Wisconsin, USA, that has earned international recognition. Kohler’s golf destinations span the dramatic Lake Michigan setting of Whistling Straits and the glacier-shaped terrain of Blackwolf Run, offering distinctive courses that challenge players while remaining deeply connected to their natural surroundings.

Beyond championship play, Kohler has created experiences for different levels of the game through The Baths, a family-friendly 10-hole par-3 and putting course, as well as the Kohler Golf Academy and Kohler Swing Studio. Together, these offerings make golf part of a broader destination experience shaped by sport, landscape and hospitality.

Ranjeet Oak, President, Kohler Kitchen & Bath South Asia, said, “Golf has been an important part of Kohler’s global heritage, and our association with the DP World India Championship 2026 is a natural extension of this legacy. At Kohler, we believe that precision and performance are fundamental to creating exceptional experiences, whether in design or sport. Through this partnership, we look forward to celebrating these shared values while strengthening our engagement with India’s growing community of golf enthusiasts, business leaders and the design fraternity.”

Kohler’s golf journey in India took shape through its association with the NDTV Golf Pro-Am, a nationwide series bringing together professional golfers, business leaders and enthusiasts across some of the country’s leading courses. The association brought Kohler closer to India’s growing golfing community through competitive play, golf clinics and curated experiences, with celebrated sporting names such as Kapil Dev adding to the profile of the platform.

Through the DP World India Championship, Kohler takes this journey forward, creating an experiential zone within the tournament’s fan zone with interactive golf-inspired activities, including a putting challenge and a lucky draw offering visitors the opportunity to experience a Kohler golf course overseas.

As Kohler strengthens its presence in India, the partnership builds connections across sport, design and business, extending the brand experience beyond kitchen and bath and bringing its relationship with golf closer to Indian audiences.
