AI strikes a divine chord with Rupam Dehi release
MUMBAI: Call it byte-sized bhakti, India’s first AI band, Trilok, has dropped its latest track ‘Rupam Dehi’, a devotional tribute to Goddess Durga. Drawing its name from the Argalastotra, the chant blends prayer with poetry while reimagining tradition for the digital age.
The music video stars Radhika Subramaniam, AI travel influencer from Collective Artists Network, and has been created entirely using AI. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Kolkata’s Durga Puja, the video captures the city’s dazzling pandals, rituals, and festive pulse, a heady mix of devotion and community spirit.
By weaving ancient verse into a contemporary soundscape, Trilok brings India’s biggest festival alive in a way that feels both timeless and cutting-edge.
‘Rupam Dehi’ is now streaming across major audio and social platforms, just in time to soundtrack the season of celebrations.

Hexaware deepens AWS tie-up for AI-driven SDLC
Rapidx and Kiro platform target faster, safer software delivery with agentic AI tools.
MUMBAI: Hexaware just gave software development a turbo boost because when AI agents join the coding team, even the longest sprints start feeling like a victory lap. Hexaware Technologies has expanded its long-standing collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver AI-powered software development lifecycle (SDLC) capabilities to enterprises worldwide. The enhanced partnership, announced on 24 February 2026, builds on Hexaware’s Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with AWS, focusing on accelerating cloud adoption, application modernisation, and AI-led transformation.
At the core are two Hexaware innovations, Rapidx, an AI-driven software engineering platform, and Kiro, an agentic integrated development environment (IDE) designed to move teams from prototype to production-ready code in a structured, traceable way. The combined solution targets four key outcomes: shorter time-to-market, higher developer productivity, production-grade code at scale, and low-risk legacy modernisation.
Hexaware president & global head for Digital and Software Services Sanjay Salunkhe said, “Our clients want releases they can trust, even as they adopt AI in development. With RapidX and Kiro, we aim to bring more structure, standards, and traceability into the SDLC so large programs can move faster without increasing delivery risk.”
Key features include:
- AI-powered development with virtual subject-matter experts and spec-driven models that turn natural language requirements into structured code.
- Full SDLC coverage from ideation to release requirements, backlog creation, design thinking, blueprinting, coding, testing, and documentation.
- Enterprise-grade security: deployment inside customer AWS environments with private LLM options via Amazon Bedrock, plus SecOps alignment for data residency, access controls, monitoring, and audit support.
- Support for application modernisation, transition, and maintenance across complex estates.
The partnership reflects growing demand for tools that balance speed with reliability in an era where software cycles are shrinking and stakes are rising. By embedding agentic AI into the workflow, Hexaware and AWS are betting that the future of development isn’t just faster, it’s smarter, safer, and far less stressful for teams under pressure.
For enterprises drowning in legacy code and deadline demands, this expanded alliance could be the lifeline that turns chaotic sprints into confident strides, one AI-assisted line at a time.
