“It is truly an honour to be part of this occasion as we launch Jeh Aerospace, a venture driven by Vishal Sanghavi and Venkatesh Mudragalla. Their dreams have led them to establish a significant presence in the aerospace industry, echoing the vision of the great industrialist, JRD Tata, whose nickname ‘Jeh’ now inspires this endeavour,” said D Sridhar Babu, Minister for IT, Industries & Commerce and Legislative Affairs, Government of Telangana, said while speaking at the launch of the facility. “I applaud their commitment to creating a facility that taps into India’s full potential for aerospace and defence manufacturing,” he added.

HaiVE launches self-hosted multi-role AI assistant 

Singapore-based AI R&D firm HaiVE has introduced its new free and open-source self-hostable AI assistant, allowing companies to deploy automated customer service securely behind their firewall.

The chatbot allows organisations to implement AI while retaining full control and ownership of their data. It offers industry-leading functionality similar to HaiVE’s hosted AI assistant, but with the entire system on clients’ private infrastructure for security and privacy.

“Today’s tech-led business ecosystem calls for scalable, omnichannel customer service solutions at a pace that can only be powered by AI. But data privacy remains paramount, especially for heavily regulated industries. We are proud to provide an AI- powered multi-role agent with the flexibility of both cloud and open-source self-hosted deployments. These agents can communicate via multiple channels like calls, sms, WhatsApp, Freshworks, Zendesk, Salesforce, and more,” said Arjun Reddy, Co-founder at HaiVe.
