Chennai IT company employees get surprise Creta SUVs as gifts as it marks 10th anniversary
Who says companies can't be generous towards employees? A Chennai-based firm's rather extravagant gesture of gratitude and goodwill towards loyal staff has grabbed eyeballs on the Internet. To commemorate a decade of its operations, Chennai-headquartered tech services firm
Agilisium
celebrated its 10-year milestone with a heartfelt gesture—gifting 25 brand-new
Hyundai Creta SUVs
to some of its most loyal employees. These individuals have been part of Agilisium's journey since its foundation, having devoted ten continuous years of service.
The commemorative event was held at the company's office located in the World Trade Center, Chennai. It witnessed an enthusiastic gathering of more than 500 team members. The highlight of the occasion—the surprise SUV handover—had been meticulously kept secret, which intensified the joy and emotional reaction when the announcement was made. According to
The Hindu Businessline,
the moment left both the employees and their families overwhelmed and proud.
In addition to the unexpected vehicle gifts, Agilisium rolled out pay increases based on individual performance across every level in the organization. This move, seen as a sign of the company's long-term commitment to its workforce, was especially appreciated during a time when the broader tech industry is navigating uncertainty and conservative spending.

Swiggy pilots travel and lifestyle concierge app Crew
Swiggy has launched a travel and lifestyle concierge app, Crew, on a pilot basis, according to information about the app published on Google Play Store. This marks the Bengaluru-based company's entry into a new business after food delivery, dining out, quick commerce and professional services. The app, which involves human concierges in addition to generative artificial intelligence (AI), helps users plan trips, going beyond simply suggesting itineraries.A Swiggy spokesperson did not comment on the year, ahead of its initial public offering (IPO), the company had started testing Rare Life, a personalised concierge service focused on elite and exclusive experiences. However, this project was discontinued after Swiggy decided not to scale it up beyond a small cohort. In January, the company rolled out professional services marketplace Pyng, signalling that it was following a house of apps strategy similar to Chinese tech giants Alibaba and Meituan, which have also had multiple apps for various services. This is in contrast to the 'superapp' strategy, where consumers are expected to come for one basic use-case and transact across multiple services. Also, superapps are yet to see any noteworthy success at scale in Crew and Pyng, Swiggy now has the main app, which houses food delivery, quick commerce, dining out and its events platform Scenes. The quick commerce unit, Instamart, also got a separate app in launch of Crew was first reported by Entrackr. Swiggy recently suspended its peer-to-peer parcel delivery service Genie, which was available in 70 cities. The company has also licenced its cloud kitchen brands to food service outfit Kouzina, with plans to fully transfer these businesses upon fulfilment of certain conditions. On Friday, Swiggy shares ended 3.1% higher at Rs 385.90 on the BSE.

SRAM & Paradigm Pictures invest 3,000 cr in cutting-edge film city in Tamil Nadu
In a transformative move set to redefine cinematic infrastructure in South Asia, Chairman Dr Sailesh L Hiranandani of UK-based SRAM & MRAM Group and Chairman Arvind Dharmaraj of Paradigm Pictures have jointly announced a ₹3,000 crore investment to develop a 100-acre virtual production campus in Tamil Nadu. The landmark project was unveiled during SRAM & MRAM's 30th anniversary celebrations at London's exclusive Raven's Ait and introduces a seamless fusion of AI-generated environments with traditional cinematic sets. The complex will feature multiple LED volume stages supported by advanced artificial intelligence rendering engines and immersive 360-degree 4K display arrays. This frontier technology allows filmmakers to construct expansive digital worlds instantly and with unparalleled realism. As highlighted by a multinational professional services network, which is one of the Big 4s, such systems have the capacity to reduce production timelines by up to 25 per cent and cut costs by nearly 30 per cent, offering a compelling response to rising industry pressures. The Tamil Nadu hub will also incorporate traditional sets of hospitals, cities, villages, streets, colleges, and schools. These environments are designed to integrate flawlessly with the virtual stages through proprietary anti-glare display surfaces and dynamic lighting systems that ensure consistency between physical and digital layers without the post-production constraints of green screen techniques. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AVIK 4 BHK Floors - Golf Course Road Extn, Gurgaon Birla Navya AVIK Click Here Undo This infrastructure will be powered by an expansive solar installation complemented by modular construction principles that significantly lower the environmental impact. By reducing dependency on location and optimising digital production processes, the project is expected to minimise waste and emissions by up to 80 per cent compared to conventional film facilities. A next-generation training academy will be established in collaboration with BAFTA and National Award-affiliated professionals to cultivate regional talent in visual effects, real-time cinematography, and production innovation. Former MP M G Sekhar and Vengateshwaran Sekhar, chairman of a Bengaluru-based group of colleges, are contributing to strategic alliances that unite education, governance, and industry. M G Sekhar notably holds distinction as India's youngest-ever MLA, appointed during the tenure of the iconic Dr M G Ramachandran. Asish Pandit, a cinematic strategist from Kolkata with over 40 years of global and domestic industry experience, is overseeing the implementation of this visionary initiative. His artistic lineage draws from Bengal's celebrated cinematic heritage led by the legendary Satyajit Ray. 'This is about building far more than a film studio,' he remarked. 'We are creating an ecosystem where intelligence meets imagination to power the future of global storytelling. ' The campus will include AI-curated residences, immersive visitor programmes powered by augmented reality, and a secure digital asset vault for international licensing and content management. Projections estimate more than 10,000 skilled job opportunities and ₹1,200 crore annual revenue through a combination of tourism, post-production, and technology exports. Construction is set to begin shortly with phased delivery beginning in 2026. This landmark development positions India at the forefront of cinematic evolution and virtual production excellence.
