Zoho rolls out Zia Hubs, strengthening its AI roadmap
Global technology company Zoho has unveiled Zia Hubs, designed to help organisations using Zoho WorkDrive to gain deeper business insights from various types of information, a top official said.Zia Hubs is part of the Zoho WorkDrive, and acts as a tool to extract intelligence from Unstructured Business Data.Zia Hubs is a foundational element of Zoho's long-term AI strategy, laying the groundwork for a future where intelligent agents can act contextually on content across the company's entire product suite.
According to company CEO Mani Vembu, Zia Hubs bring a common model to company data, exposing unused information to powerful capabilities and services, including agentic AI, comprehensive analysis and accurate unified search. "According to IDC, 80 per cent of business data is unstructured. Most unstructured data is text-based, meaning pertinent information lives within email conversations, social media posts, word processor documents or audio and video transcripts," he said in a company statement on Wednesday.
With Zia Hubs built into the full product suite, Zoho is able to provide customers with a deeper integration than any comparable software platform and nearly limitless potential users for their data, Vembu added.
Zia Hubs allows users to store and organise project or task-specific content into dedicated hubs within Zoho WorkDrive software system. Each hub serves as a focused space where Zia can understand and act on the content stored.
Currently, Zia Hubs launches are in early access and would be available upon request for Zoho Workdrive users. The general release for users is scheduled by Q3 of FY2025,the company said.

Cellular connections to outpace LPWAN, radio in Indian utilities: Airtel Business-IDC study
NEW DELHI: Cellular connectivity, led by Narrowband-Internet of Things ( NB-IoT ), are likely to outpace the growth of low-powered wireless access network (LPWAN) and other radio technologies in India's utilities sector over the next four years, according to the findings of a study conducted by the International Data Corporation (IDC), commissioned by Bharti Airtel 's enterprise arm. The growth of NB-IoT will be supported by a low-cost of ownership, standardised wireless chipsets and modules, security, and reliability and availability, the study found. The Airtel Business-IDC study found that the growth rate of cellular connections, including NB-IoT, in the utilities segment is expected to increase by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.6% between 2023 and 2027. By contrast, the LPWAN, including LoRaWAN and Sigfox, and radio (including RF mesh) segments are expected to grow at annualised rates of 17.8% and 13.5%, respectively, over the same period. In India, NB-IoT is being extensively utilised under the National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM), which envisages the conversion of 222.4 million meters into prepaid smart meters. However, just 32.90 million smart meters, or about 14.8%, have been deployed across India, according to the latest data available on the NSGM dashboard. 'Telecom service providers in India are further investing in upgrading the underlying network infrastructure, including 4G and NB-IoT networks. This improved connectivity will encourage the adoption of cloud platforms and services, offering greater scalability and flexibility for utilities companies,' IDC analysts Nikhil Batra and Swathi Arunaa said in the report. NB-IoT provides cellular-based connectivity with wide coverage and low power consumption, making it ideal for large-scale smart metering deployments, the analysts said. 'By investing in reliable connectivity solutions, utilities can ensure the seamless integration of AMI and smart metering into their operations, thereby driving the success of India's National Smart Grid Mission,' according to the analysts. The country's top telecom carriers, Reliance Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea (Vi), are all bullish on the growth prospects of IoT which has become central to their enterprise segment strategy. Gopal Vittal, vice chairman & managing director of Airtel, at the telco's most recent post-earnings conference call said, 'We continue to add muscle to our digital portfolio with cloud…cybersecurity, financial services, IoT and CPaaS and all of these are getting additional investments.' For instance, Secure Meters in partnership with Airtel Business has successfully deployed 1.7 million NB-IoT smart meters across Bihar. Secure has developed its own smart meters with NB IoT communication module, head end system, and meter data management system, which have been integrated with Airtel's IoT platform to ensure seamless cellular connectivity. This large-scale deployment is supported by Airtel's (NB-IoT/GPRS) network, and includes a network feasibility tool and a SIM services management portal to assist Secure in effectively planning and implementing smart meter installations.

UK sees 23% surge in number of Indian-owned businesses, total revenue generated by these companies is at Rs 764684 crore; Wipro, Zoho lead among... The number of Indian-owned businesses operating in the United Kingdom has grown sharply this year, going up by 23 per cent compared to last year. According to a new report, there are now 1,197 Indian companies in the UK. This update comes from the 12th edition of the India Meets Britain Tracker , a joint report by the financial firm Grant Thornton and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). It was released during the UK-India Week in London, in the presence of India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and UK Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds. The total revenue generated by these Indian businesses has gone up from GBP 68.09 billion in 2024 to GBP 72.14 billion this year. These companies also play a big role in the UK job market, providing work to over 126,000 people and adding more than 8,000 new jobs in the past year alone. The 2025 edition of the Tracker also highlights that the selected fast-growing companies together earned GBP 32.6 billion and paid GBP 67.3 million in corporation tax. They were responsible for creating over 56,000 jobs in the UK. Among the fastest-growing Indian companies this year, Wipro IT Services UK Societas led the list with an impressive 448 per cent increase in revenue. Close behind was Zoho Corporation Ltd, an IT management company that entered the list for the first time, showing a 197 per cent growth. In total, 20 new companies were added to the Tracker in 2025, while 41 firms from last year continued to feature. London continues to be the top choice for Indian businesses, with nearly half (47 per cent) of all companies based there. The report also noted a small but positive change in gender diversity — 24 per cent of company directors were women this year, up from 21 per cent last year. (With PTI inputs)
