CloudWalker partners You Broadband for VoD services
MUMBAI: Mumbai based technology start-up CloudWalker Streaming Technologies has partnered with internet service provider You Broadband to build a new video on demand (VoD) platform, which will provide a variety of digital content to the users of You Broadband. The VoD services will be accessible across web, mobile and tablets.
Additionally, CloudWalker will also plug content in the VoD portal. Users will get access to 25,000 hours of content comprising movies, trailers, TV shows, and documentaries across different Indian and global languages.
The new platform will allow You Broadband to extend its service offerings to its existing consumer base and help them reach to a newer set of audience. With this, You Broadband is also looking at a level playing field with players who provide VoD on their platforms.
CloudWalker Streaming Technologies founder Jagdish Rajpurohit said, “We have noticed that despite the fact that big DTH players and large content creators have come up with VoD models, the MSOs and ISPs are unable to replicate this success. Although they realize the opportunity, they are facing challenges in terms of content and technology. Our aim is bridge this gap by providing them technological support and content in setting up the platform.”

Arvind KC joins OpenAI as chief people officer amid rapid expansion
Former Google and Meta executive to oversee hiring, systems and culture
SAN FRANCISCO: OpenAI has appointed Arvind KC as its chief people officer, tasking him with overseeing talent, culture and organisational systems as the company continues to scale rapidly.
KC brings a blend of engineering and people leadership experience, having previously held senior roles at Roblox, Google, Palantir Technologies and Meta. His career has focused on building large technical teams and designing systems intended to support speed, collaboration and sustained performance.
At OpenAI, KC will oversee core people functions, including hiring, onboarding, development and internal policies, as the organisation adapts to the demands of rapid growth and increasingly AI-enabled work. The role places him at the centre of how the company manages workforce expansion while preserving its operating culture.
OpenAI CEO of applications Fidji Simo, said the appointment reflects the company’s belief that how it scales should align with the future it aims to shape. She said KC would play a critical role in ensuring that people processes and systems keep pace with the company’s ambitions without undermining the principles that have guided its growth so far.
The appointment comes as companies across sectors rethink how work is organised amid growing use of artificial intelligence. OpenAI said it sees an opportunity and a responsibility to develop practical models for how organisations can integrate AI into daily work while continuing to invest in human capability, skills and long-term growth.
KC said he was joining OpenAI at a moment when organisations globally are being forced to reconsider how teams operate, how roles evolve and how workers adapt as technology changes. He added that OpenAI’s position at the centre of the AI ecosystem made it a unique place to explore those questions in practice, alongside customers and partners.
