In a compelling intersection of sporting legacy and enterprise ambition, global transformation firm Arche Global unveiled its state-of-the-art 45,000 sq ft Innovation and Delivery Centre at the Brookfield Ecoworld Campus in Bellandur, Bengaluru. This AI-first hub is designed to power large-scale digital reinvention across industries, underscoring Arche's commitment to building a future-ready digital ecosystem. Gracing the occasion was India's legendary World Cup-winning captain, Kapil Dev, whose presence underscored the event's central theme: while technology drives change, it is leadership that sustains it.
The events began with an exclusive leadership dinner attended by Arche's executive team and global clients, followed by the formal inauguration of the innovation hub the next morning.

'Technology will always evolve,' Dev shared. 'But passion, discipline, and trust, that's what sustains a team. Whether on a cricket field or in a boardroom, those principles don't change.'

Over the years, it has grown into a global systems integrator, delivering cutting-edge solutions across verticals such as airports, healthcare, manufacturing, education, smart cities, and energy and utilities. Its recent rebranding to Arche Global Private Limited reflects its expanded global vision and unwavering commitment to AI and Digital-first enterprise transformation.
Mahalingam Ramasamy, Founder & Managing Director, reflected on the company's humble origins and transformative journey. 'It's about conviction, resilience, and building a winning mindset.

According to Bobby, the launch of the Bengaluru hub signals not just Arche's growth but also its enduring commitment to India's talent ecosystem, to global customers, and to building a future-ready organisation grounded in core values.

FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Points Table: The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group stage is underway in the United States, with 32 teams competing in the first of a revamped quadrennial event featuring a combined prize pool of $1 billion. The new Club World Cup is a supersized version of what used to be a short tournament with only seven teams. The new edition includes 32 teams from around the world and will be held every four years, starting next summer in the United States from June 14 to July 13. As its name suggests, it's envisioned to be club version of the World Cup for national teams. In Group A, Palmeiras are leading the standings ahead of the closest team, Inter Miami. Botafogo, after handing a shock defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, sits on top of Group B. Bayern Munich, Flamengo, CA River Plate, Fluminense, Juventus, and FC Salzburg are the respective leaders of their groups at the time of writing. Group A Group B Group C Group D Group E Group F Group G Group H (Standings updated after River Plate vs Monterrey on June 22) The Club World Cup has been expanded from seven teams to 32 and will emulate the men's and women's World Cups. Eight groups of four teams will play in a round robin mini league, with the top two advancing to a knockout stage, which runs from the round of 16 through to the final. With a total prize fund of $1 billion, the winner of the Club World Cup could earn $125 million. FIFA said in March that it had allocated $525 million in guaranteed fees for teams taking part. That ranges from $38.19 million to the top-ranked European team to $3.58 million for the representative from Oceania, Auckland City. A further $475 million is earned by results in the 63 games, with $2 million paid for winning group stage games, $7.5 million for playing in the round of 16 and $40 million to the team that wins the final. When and where to watch the Club World Cup in India? Indian fans can livestream the Club World Cup on the DAZN app.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are set to tie the knot in Venice later this month. Long before they became one of the world's most watched power couples, the Amazon founder and Lauren Sanchez crossed paths through mutual connections in media and business. At the time, Sanchez, an Emmy-winning TV anchor and helicopter pilot, was married to talent agent Patrick Whitesell. Bezos, too, was married to MacKenzie Scott; however, the soon-to-be married couple were introduced by shared acquaintances, as reported by Marca. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are set to marry in Venice from June 24 to 26. REUTERS/Danny Moloshok/File Photo(REUTERS) Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's friendship grew stronger around 2018, particularly when she became involved with aerial filming for Bezos' firm Blue Origin. In early 2019, shortly after Jeff Bezos announced his divorce from Scott, he made his relationship with Lauren Sanchez public. What began as a professional rapport deepened into a personal bond, shaped by shared interests- space exploration, philanthropy, and media. In 2023, Bezos proposed to Sanchez during a Mediterranean getaway aboard his superyacht, Koru.

As reported by The Telegraph, the estimated cost of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding could climb to a staggering $16 million (around £11.9 million). The breakdown is just as lavish. Roughly $1 million is said to be set aside for floral arrangements and venue décor alone. Wedding planning services could cost up to $3 million, while renting historic Venetian sites may add another $2 million. Catering might run close to $1 million, and Sanchez's outfits across the multi-day event are expected to cost around $1.5 million. FAQs: How did Jeff Bezos meet Lauren Sanchez?
