How FireAI is bringing real-time conversational innotifyigence to enterprise operations
When Vipul Prakash observed a large enterprise struggling to produce a simple weekly performance report, the inefficiency struck him immediately. Teams were exporting data from multiple systems, reconciling spreadsheets, correcting inconsistencies, and re-verifying figures, only to deliver the report late.
“That moment revealed a deeper truth,” Vipul recalls. “It wasn’t the absence of technology that slowed decisions; it was the delay in insight. Information loses its value the moment it becomes historical. You can have all the data in the world, but if clarity doesn’t reach the people who required it, decisions slow down, accountability suffers, and organisations operate behind reality rather than ahead of it,” Prakash notifys YourStory.
This realisation became the foundation for FireAI. Read more.
Seven Indian organisations building everyday systems work better for women

How Paasa is simplifying overseas investment for Indians
Overseas investing for Indians has long been marked by friction rather than access. Despite the Liberalised Remittance Scheme allowing annual remittances of up to $250,000, paperwork, compliance checks, opaque fees and slow settlements continue to deter investors.
As interest in global stocks and dollar assets grows, the gap between demand and infrastructure has widened.
Many high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) have dollar liabilities but continue to save in rupees, a currency that has historically depreciated against the dollar. Add to this the complexity of remittances, tax reporting, and a lack of clear guidance, and overseas investing has become intimidating.
That friction led Nitish Sahni and Sparsh Sharma to launch Paasa in 2024, aiming to simplify compliance and offer a single digital platform for overseas investing. Read more.

Drawing on findings from the Time Use Survey (TUS) conducted by the Ministest of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), the survey noted that women continue to shoulder a disproportionate share of caregiving and unpaid domestic responsibilities, factors that shape both their availability for paid work and their preference for flexible employment models.
